Photo by Jim Kenney Accessibility will be key library improvement by Cathy Care—*ra More study space and accessibility will be'the key improvements in the com¬ pletion of the new horary, according to Lillie Parker, head librarian. The completion of the new library is slated for July. After most of the facili¬ ties are moved to the new addition a 9-12 month remodeling project will begin on the old section of the library. Correction A story sppeering fa the March 10 Daily Collegian contained an error. The story, entitled law Day slated for Chicanos, gives the im¬ pression that the event, acta——ad for today from 1 to 6 p.m., Is ex¬ clusively for Chicanos. The event is open to all students at CSUF and it was so stated later fa the story. We regret the error. "The project completion date is Jan¬ uary of 1982. Things won't be normal until all the building snd remodeling is complete,* ssid Parker. After completion of the project there will be a great deal of change in the loca¬ tion of materials st the library. The four story addition is divided so * that each floor has a specific item. The first floor will contain current periodicals and micro-film. The second floor, will contain bound periodicals. The third floor will house the music library and reserved book room. The fourth floor will bold the department of special collec¬ tions, indudiiig tee map library. The remodeling of the old library will provide moving the entrance of the lib¬ rary to the East side. Other changes will include moving administrative offices upstairs to make mora services for studenta easily accessible on the fast floor. The new and old additions will be joined on first and second floor by passageways. Birchers open-mmded^ rational, says leader by Matt Alger Few liberals want to have any associa¬ tion with the John Birch Society. But the two are not at wholly opposite 'ends of the political spectrum, sccording to David Morris, area coordinator for the organization. 'Some of our best Birchers have been bleeding heart liberals," said Morris, a former liberal turned Bircher himself. "I thought socialism was inevitable,* said Morris. *I' ve been on the other side of the fence.' But, he added, that his thinking changed when he was presen¬ ted with the whole 'picture." "So where do wo stand?" he asked. "We're supposed to be the radicals." But in fact, "we're the middle of the' loaders." 'We're the middle of the roaders' ___gj* The requirements for becoming a Bircher are an open mind and intelli¬ gence, according to Morris. He said that the organization has been the victim of bad press, which has created a stereo¬ type of its members as closed-minded "utile old ladies in tennis shoes, running around passing out pamphlets." The basic beliefs of the John Birch Society are that capitalism is the best form of government and that com¬ munism is an enslavement of people. They also believe in law and order morality, and they say they have a con¬ tempt for evil. According to the Birchers, communists are evil and lawless. "We're constitutionalists," said Morris. "What we are trying to do is save our system:* Morris said that the Birchers favor as little government as possible. They oppose government intervention in busi¬ ness and too many regulatory agencies such as OSHA (The Occupational Safety Hazard Administration), not be¬ cause government is necessarily bad, but because they believe that the men at the top of the political hierarchy are seeking too much power for themselves, something that many liberals have long contended. Robert Welch, who founded the organization in 1959, was wary of Richard Nixon, who he said was a man who would go to either end of the political spectrum to achieve power. And also like many liberals, the Birchers believe that power is divided between too few men. And as many- Men such as David Rockefeller run the country. liberals agree with the Birchers that men such as David Rockefeller control the country behind the scenes. Henry Kissinger and other pokticans have been connected with the Rockefeller family, which owns a controlling interest in many oil codpanies and New York banks. *T"*sydon't give aidamnabouttbis counti-y, said Morris. "They're not free enterprisers. They don't like competi¬ tion,* The Birchers believe that competition, especially among small businesses made the United States. They believe in capitalism in its purest form. If people are allowed to cany on business freely, in the end the forces of the market place, - ' supply snd demand, will result in the best for the people, Morris said. The Birchers contend that It is the absence of market place incentives that has been responsible for the Soviet Union's dwindling food supply, not bad weather. In fad, Morris said that the Umted States has kept the Soviet Union alive. Without, our food they would starve, he said. Furthermore, without our technology, they would have no army, he said. As crazy as it sounds, it's true, said Morris. The men in power are trying', to get support to establish a stronger central government that would in turn take away more rights from the average citizen, he said. Few liberals believe that the govern¬ ment has gone so far as malrintr the Soviet Union a superpower. The liberals don't have the entire picture. The liberals don't have the entire picture, according to the soft spoken Morris. He said that all he and his organization ask is that people just listen and read with an open mind. "Once the people understand what's going on, then they'll turn things around." Morris removed a crisp new dollar bill from his wallet. He pointed to the Latin words surround—g the pyramid with the eye on top of K. Motioning to¬ ward the top of the pryamid, he saii "the eye watches over." Then pointing to the letters at the bottom of the pyra¬ mid , he said "One World Government."
