Medical Library Is Moved To Cooperstowtv

Yesterday was another moving
day for the Medical Center Library,
which for the third time has out- grown its present temporary quart- ers. And the move was a stranje
one to Coopcrstown.
Alfred Brandon, chief librarian
tor the Medical Center Library,
which is now housed in the base- ment of the Margaret I. King
Library, said the move to a Coop- erstown apartment was necessary

basement. Some 20.000 to 30,000
bound volumes are being stored In
the Library Annex, located on the
third floor of the Maintenance
and Operations Building. Yester- day the first of new shipments of
books was moved to Cooperstown.
Brandon said the additional stor- ace space will provide room for
about 20,000 volumes.
The medical library will event- ually be housed In the Medical
Sciences Building, now under con- struction on the Medical Center
site. If construction proceeds ac- cording to schedule, Brandon said
the library will move into its new

quarters soon after the first of the
year.
Brandon and his staff begin ac- cumulating medical literature in
November, 1957. Since that time
more than 30.000 volumes have
been collected. Many of the vol- umes are rare volumes or out-odate books. The library currently
has more than 900 medical
journals.
The problem of collecting vol- umes is not an easy task, Brandon
warned. Many books, particularly
volumes, are bought
on the foreign market through

Scene From 'Cyrano9

Cyrano, played by William F. Nave, tells Roxanne, Melanie Fessler,
of his love In one of the more romantic scenes from the Guignol
Flayers' production of "Cyrano de Bergerac." It opened last night.

'Cyrano Portrayal
Called 'Delightful'

By NANCY MEADOWS

From the overture music to the
last drop of the curtain. "Cyrano
de Bergerac" as portrayed by the
Guignol Players is delightful.
That's this writer's opinion, not
from a threatre critic but from one
who enjoys a good play.
"Cyrano tie Bergerac" opened
last night in Guignol Theatre. A
larpe crowd of students, townspeople and faculty members were on
hand lor the opening night production.
Most convincing in his starring
role of Cryano the ugly, chivalrous, adventurous soldier with the
oversize nose is William Nave.
From his first dashing entrance on
stage, he gains the interest of the
audience and the rapport remains
throughout the play.
One audience member who became entranced with Nave said:
"He speaks his lines with complete knowledge of what he is
saying, he moves about the stage
of a
with the ease and know-hoprofessional. He's not Jose Ferrer,
but he sure comes close to it."
Ferrer played the lead role in the
movie union of "Cyrano."
But tlieie were
several times
when Nave seemed uncertain of
his liras and actions. Here his
p,.f.Hs rerc .mailed, although
he reofied himself quickly.
inn the diuling scene in Act One,
one of Cyrano's best speeches,
Nave's lines were muffled by th3
dueling action. Generally, however,
his speech and actions were well
Integrated and he carried off his
part excellently.
Roxanne, delightfully played by
Melanie Fessler, seemed a little
uncertain of her role. At times she
seemed perfectly suited to her feminine lead, whil e atother times
she was lacking in the character
of the role. She was never able to
gain the audience contact, as was
Nave, although this was partly her
role. She seemed most at ease in

The scenery, lighting and 17th
