In two instances the doors were locked by either security or the dorm resident and later unlocked by ari unknown person.

As far as the ultra-modern structure itself goes, it's one of the finest libraries in the state; the resources are comparable to any public school our size. There is no qualm about library personnel either. In fact, I think it's generally accepted that the people who make the library go are not only friendly and helpful but eager to please as well. What many students are concerned about, however, is accessability and it is here that some people in the administration have been far less than cooperative. The clamor for extended hours has been going on as long as I've been here. But rather than action all students get are excuses. But just when my frustration was turning to anger I was astounded again—this time by Chancellor Obear. Monday, in an admirable show of concern for students' needs, Dr. Obear extended library hours to 11:00 p.m. Sunday through frriNDTWlNTHE Thursday. Some important university officials still argued it couldn't ccmnvvON and shouldn't be done, but Dr. Obear realizes a university without a IF YOU CAN/ library is like a railroad without tracks. uxitKtryBCHO It's not often this space is filled with a glowing tribute for a job well done.

A clarification
Dear Brian, Judging from the comments I have received from fellow students pertaining to our "local Bohemian's" letter in last week's Opinion/Yours column, it seems, unfortunately, that Laura Compton has been misunderstood by those students who have chosen to interpret her letter as an "overlysensitive exaggeration" of personal feelings. Having been Miss Compton's roommate for the past year and a half, I can honestly say that there was not one single exaggeration in her entire letter; experiences like those really do happen to her, always due to someone else's ignorance of the situation in question. 1 feel like I need to defend her motives for writing the letter, which were also misunderstood. It was not Editorial rebuked merely an attempt to get people off of her back personally, nor was it intended as a staunch defense of Mr. Kaufman, Catholicism, but was simply Laura's way of relating to I would like to refer to your article appearing in the fellow students the importance of accepting others for closing.

By Teri Boardman Echo Sporfs Editor The UTC women's basketball team recorded two important victories recently over Northern Kentucky and rival Middle Tennessee State. The wins give UTC a 10-6 overall mark, 4-0 in the conference as the Lady Mocs prepare to host their own tournament, the Leader Lady Moc Invitational on Feb. 3-4. Saturday, Jan.29 UTC hosted Northern Kentucky for what became an excellent work session and morale booster. All nine Lady Mocs entering the game scored as UTC powered to an impressive 96-74 win. Center Tina Chairs, a 6'1" junior from Decatur, Ala., tallied a game-high 26 points and 10 rebounds. Chairs has been the mainstay of the UTC squad in 1982-83. Aggressive offense and defense help her average over 19 points and 10 rebounds each outing. Other leaders of the Lady Mocs' best offensive effort of the year were forward Kim Horsey with 19 Lady Moc Kim Horsey points, forward Lisa Porter with 11 points and seven lofts a jump shot over rebounds and guard Gaby Gandolfo with 11 points. defenders in recent Tuesday night the Lady Mocs moved into strong action at Maclellan contention for the Southern Conference lead with a Gym.

Tournament on Feb. 3*4. At the outset of Tuesday's game, UTC appeared to have nearly complete control. Despite several passing turnovers off the hands of Judy Rogers and Porter, UTC pulled ahead of the Lady Raiders. Gandolfo hit from beyond the men's three-point line to give UTC a 14-point margin, 40-26, at the half. If the first stanza belonged to UTC, the opening of the second verse belonged even more to MTSU. Guard Kay Irby hit for UTC at 16:47, but the Lady Mocs couldn't get near the bucket for nearly eight minutes. Meanwhile, a charged-up MTSU squad closed in, taking a 45-42 lead. Rogers finally turned the UTC momentum, sinking a lay-up on the fast break. With 11:23 to go, Chairs hit a 12-footer as the Lady Mocs overtook MTSU, 48-47, and never looked back. Irby, Horsey and forward Chris McClure added tough defense to halt MTSU as UTC claimed the important SC contest, 67-56. With 16 points and 15 rebounds, Chairs again paced scoring leaders. Gandolfo added 11 points, three from the men's three-point range. Irby added 10 and Porter and McClure sank 10 each. Top rebounders, behind Chairs, were Horsey with 12 and McClure with 11.

Virginia Military Institute. each game. UTC broke on top in the first half and had several five point leads, but fell flat late, allowing Marshall to lead at intermission, 39-38. Marshall opened the second half as aggressively as they closed the first, with three straight breakaway baskets to strengthen a lead that they would never relinquish. UTC cut Marshall's lead to two points twice, but could get no closer. The Herd played tough, inspired defense, forcing UTC to rush shots. The Mocs looked confused and undisciplined on offense, at one point missing seven straight shots, six from deep outside. Poor shot selection combined with a lack of power on the boards caused the lack of scoring in the clutch, ultimately leading to the Mocs' defeat. UTC's offensive impotency was typified by their ability to score only 5 points in the five minutes. Ironically, Marshall couldn't capitalize either, leading by just two points with 56 seconds left. The Mocs missed several shots, fouling after each one, which allowed Marshall to attain a nine-point lead. Skip Clark made a three-pointer as time ran out to make the margin of defeat a shade more respectable, but UTC was totally outplayed by a hustling Marshall team. Gerald Wilkins led all scorers with 20 points, while Stanford Stri ckland tallied 17.
