The fruits of this committee's labors is the annual Summer Read-ing Li.sl. I'his list is compiled year-ly to help interested cadets to se-lect a sununer reading program without going Ihrough Ihe "trial and error" of picking a book at a moment's notice while browsing in a bookstore. Thus, a cadet may save time and money by choosing books recommended for college slu-denls. Variety of Topics Covered As in reccnl years, the books on this year's list,cover a variety of topics, .Ml hooks on the list are al.su available in paperback, which allows men to make substantial savings. Books may also be bor rowed through Ihe Keydet Book-slin- e as in past years. Compilation of Ihe reading list is not the end of the conimittee's activities. Kach bloc of Ihe list is covered by a panel discussion dur-ing tlie academic .Near, Six Itlocs of Hooks Committee meetings are not closed to members of the fai-iilty.
