Screenshots of articles

Sept. 23rd 1966 Tiger Times “Construction Nears Hallfway Point”

Sept. 30th, 1966 Tiger Times “City official close Fairfax”

Oct. 7th 1966 Tiger Times “RCC blocks street”

ibid “RCC Library expands” & “RCC student police force will aid parking problems” Library hours are here as well as the head librarian Bach discussing books moved to the house on the alley in which Cheri Jo was murdered and the hours it was open. If you’ve read my other stuff you know that I think it’s a possibility that explains a lot, particularly the missing time, that Cheri Jo may have been allowed to study here or to retrieve books needed for the bibliography she had lost for her paper on the Electoral College.

Older articles from Sept. 23rd, 1965 Tiger Times, “Construction: A Way Of Life at RCC” & “RCC Library Plans Near Completion”

ibid an “Editorial” on the difficulties of parking and the differences for day time vs. night time students.

The September October Nightimes 1966 “Librarian recalls African safari” This is an article about Ross Sullivan champion Winifred Turner. I’m sure she discussed with Ross how man is the most dangerous game 😉

ibid “Night library use declines: Bach” Bach clearly required his staff to take notation of books lent out and students numbers using the building but only one librarian recalls he “might have seen” Cheri Jo, even though she checked out books. Hmm …

ibid “City okays college’s proposal to barricade Fairfax Avenue” and the famous CJB (? some questions have raised if this is really her) photo. The comparison is day vs. night.

April – May 1967 Nightimes “Library urges visits to Harvard” Talk of the annex in the alley Cheri Jo was killed. The article talks of storing books there and urges to use it to keep down overcrowding in the small library. There is a picture of the small library on pg. 2.

ibid An article on custodians breaks up the above story but may be of interest to some researchers.

ibid Harvard annex article continued and talk of the new library. Note the last paragraph states the staff was “Five professional librarians and six non-professional librarian-clerks” plus “100 hours of student help per week”.
