LIBRARY WILL BE DEDICATED JUNE 10;	One of the most significant milestones in UMTs
COLUMBIA DEAN IS GUEST SPEAKER	history will be marked Sunday, June 10, with the
dedication of the Otto G. Richter Library. As announced by Dr. Archie L. McNeal, director of libraries, the ceremony will begin at 3 p.m. with an invocation offered by Dr. Fred Cole, pastor of the Coral Gables Congregational Church. Following remarks by Dr. McNeal, Thomas R. Reese, UM vice president and director of financial research, will deliver an address on Otto G. Richter, whose generous bequest made possible construction of the library which bears his name. After addresses by Dean Jack Dalton of the School of Library Science, Columbia University, and Dr. Jay F.W. Pearson, the ceremony will close with a benediction delivered by Dr. Cole. All faculty and staff members are cordially invited to attend.
Incidentally but importantly, the two bare spots on the southern corner of the Library will be covered in ample time for the ceremony. A third batch of some 60,000 tiles has been manufactured by the Mosaic Tile Company of Zanesville, Ohio, to be applied to the approximately 1,600 square feet of remaining uncovered space. As explained in VERITAS, March 5, the arrival of tiles for the library was delayed by a strike at the plant which caused the kilns to be shut down after some of the tiles had been produced. It now appears that the total production for the library will total some one and one quarter million of the 2x2 inch tiles.
COMPLETE WITH JAUNTY NEW LOOK,	Sporting a dashing new mustache and a relaxed air,
DR. PEARSON ZIPS BACK INTO OFFICE Dr. Pearson strode into his office last Thursday
morning back from a vacation tour of Europe with Mrs. Pearson. In reply to a somewhat surprised glance from Mrs. Ruth Wert, quipped he: "Well, a chancellor has to look different from a president, doesn’t he?" Quizzed by VERITAS’s inquiring reporter, UMfs President said that he and Mrs. Pearson had a very enjoyable trip, listed his itinerary as including Lisbon, Naples via Rome, Athens, Istanbul, Vienna, Zurich, Interlaken and both Berlins - East and West. At ten a.m. Wednesday the Pearsons boarded a Pan Am jet at Frankfort and at 11 p.m. Wednesday they were back in Miami. Commenting on the trip said Dr. Pearson, "We had a wonderful time. We were impressed with the Isle of Capri, the Bosporous and the Acropolis. Vienna was wonderful. We enjoyed taking the train up to 11,700 feet on the Jungfrau. In Berlin we met Ralph Renick and his group and had dinner with them. We had a fine visit to East Berlin — it only took an hour and a half to get through the East German guards. I was amazed to see more changes had been made in East Berlin than in West Berlin during the three years since I had been there

TIME MAGAZINE, N Y TIMES REVIEWS	Notable recognition of the writing talent shown by
PRAISE TALENT OF UM NOVELIST GORAN Sylvester L. Goran, humanities, in his second novel,
"Maria Light," is given in reviews in the current TIME magazine and in the May 20 N Y Times. Both publications print Author Goran’s picture along with the reviews. Says TIME: "Already a good novelist, Lester Goran will become an important one when he can draw his major figure as well as he sketches the small ones." Wrote N Y Times Reviewer Ihab Hassan (prof, of English at Wesleyan): "This is a novel possessed of humor and a naive kind of integrity. One feels that the talents of Lester Goran, acquainted as he seems to be with the realities of pain and the constancies of hope, deserve a more ambitious expression."
