Reached for comment by the "Reporter", Head Librarian Joe Meyers in dicated that "because of the costs involved in electricity for the lights and supervsory personell, right now it is either one or the other." He went on to point out that "it's not as easy to open the library as people think it is. And with the cut in the hours of the student workers, there is a shortage of personell to run the library." The Library Committee had planned to have a meeting today to discuss the issue of extended hours, but has not found two representatives from the student body to serve on that Committee. "It is important to have student input and there is no point in having a meeting until we get the representatives," Myers continued. Dr. Malcom Wynn, a his tory professor, chairs the Library Committee and stated that a meeting is "likely to be held next week." Wynn sent a memo to the Dean's office on November 4 requesting two student representatives and has yet to get the two students he asked for. As soon as two students are added to the Library Commute, a meeting will be held and a decision on the extension of library hours will be made. Meyers reminded the students that the library will be open until 1 a.m. starting Monday of Finals Week. Finally, he asked for more student opinion, on the managing of the library and commented that all Library Committee meetings remain open to everyone.

P.6 P. 7 P. 10 P.M Hobin performance great while it lasted By ELAYNE SHIELDS Features Editor The clouds drifted away, the awaited cool weather arrived and the much promoted Todd Hobin Band appeared at the base of Hulley Tower last Tuesday. Scheduled to play two sets, the first of which began as planned at 5:30 p.m., the band was cut short at 7 p.m. after several townspeople complained to the DeLand police about the excessive volume. The concert, sponsored by Union Board, came about after several of the board members attended a college activities convention in Georgia and returned with glowing reports about the band's music. According to Todd Hobin, the lead singer, the group has been together for almost six years. He explained that he held auditions to choose the other members. Asked about his career in music, Hobin said he "believes it was predestined." The band's second album, entitled "Passion and the Pain," is due to be released soon. The title cut was performed to an enthusiastic audience of about 200 which stayed around after finishing supper to brave the increasingly chilly night air and listen to what the group had to offer, appeared to have found a new band whose music they could enjoy. A majority of the songs were Hobin's origional compositions. Hobin commented on the unexpected early finish of the concert, saying, "I consider myself an artist. Long after these people are dead and gone, I'll still have my albums. "We really like doing this (the concert). It's a tremendous high. When someone comes and stops you, you get angry and really hurt. All the work that went into the concert by both students and us.. .it doesn't seem right to have someone from the outside come and stop the show. Rodney Ellis, director of the Carlton Union, commented, "At lest the crowd had over an hour and a half of great music and everyone seemed to enjoy it." Troy Templeton, president of the Stetson Union Board, remarked, "An unfortunate situation, but we've learned a lesson and hope this doesn't have to happen again."
