To the Editor of the Kernel:
I feel that the recent letters appearing in the Kernel regarding the
use of the Carnegie record set are
entirely unfair and misleading. Mr.
Don Irvine, who so flagrantly charges
that the collection is "mismanaged",
has given the impression that the
music department is selfishly attempting to deny the use of the
major.
records to the
This is not true; the principal purpose of the executive director. Dr.
Capurso. and the rest of the music
department in the administration of
the Carnegie set is that it be used as
widely as possible for the enjoyment
and cultural benefit of all students
and townspeople.
The rules of the room provide
that a music major's selection shall
be no longer than anyone else's, and
that two selections from the music
major list cannot be played consecutively if there is any unplayed
selection on the regular list. I vigorously contend that the single regrettable and Isolated instance reported by Mr. Don Irvine iwho is
a visitor to
the Carnegie room) is not a proper
basis for such o wholesale condemnation of the management.

brary from a longer viewpoint, the
following facts may be presented.
When the Student Union building
was completed, the executive director
of the music department was instrumental in having the records moved
from their old crowded location to
their present comfortable room, in
the Union building, where a competent librarian is kept in charge.
Worn or broken records are reare
placed
promptly;
additions
made whenever possible. A complete
card index is kept of all records, and
complete statistics are kept regarding the use of the set, the
selections, etc.; all of these
items are paid for out of music department funds.
In addition, records are gladly
loaned to "any responsible group;
between September, 1940, and August. 1941. 246 recordings and 14
scores were borrowed from the set.
During the same year, statistics
show that 12.9 percent of all requests for the year were played for
English majors (Mr. Irvine please
note. who led the list by departments. Second were commerce majors with 11.1. third Romance languages with 10.1 percent and in
fourth place mufic majors, wTth 9.8
percent.
To bring the record up to date, the
statistics for the week February
1942. show that the average daily attendance of those students not making requests was 43 persons; the
average number of requests played
daily for
majors was 19;
and the average number of requests
for music majors was less than 3
selections. There were only two requests for music majors played on
each of the first four days of the
week while six were played on Friday.
Let it again be emphasized that
the Carnegie room is for everyone,
educational, and
for recreational,
cultural purposes. Any suggestions
leading to an improvement or expansion of its services will be welcome.

But what is "Hitlerism?" As we
have seen, in its essence it is an
avowed eflort of the Germans to
control, for their prime benefit,
an already unified world society. Necessarily, then, the basic aim of our
side must be to defeat that effort so
utterly that it will never be tried
again; just as an idea of "secession"
in the United States has forever
gone from the minds of Americans
