Þjóöbókasjóöur stúdenta:
Stúdentar við Háskóla íslands
afhentu í gær stjórn Lands-
bókasafns íslands - Háskóla-
bókasafns fyrsta framlag í þjóð-
bókasjóð stúdenta. Framlagið var
700.000, krónur og var það afrakstur
söfnunar meðal stúdenta sjálfra og
innan Háskólans.
Þetta er fyrsti ávöxtur þjóðarátaks
stúdenta til eflingar hinu nýja
þjóðbókasafni sem opnar í þjóðar-
bókhlöðunni 1. desember. Markmið
þess er að efla kaup á nýjum vísindari-
tum í öllum fræðigreinum, en athugun
stúdenta hefur leitt í ljós að íslendin-
gar standa öðrum þjóðum þar langt að
baki. Stúdentar vildu ganga á undan
með góðu fordæmi og hafa á undan-
förnum tveimur vikum safnað fé í
eigin röðum og innan Háskólans m.a.
með sölu á barmmerki átaksins. Á
myndinni sést Brynhildur Þórarins-
dóttir afhenda Einari Sigurðssyni fyrs-
ta framlagið.
National Library Fund:
Brynhildur Þórarinsdóttir afhendir Einari Sigurössyni fyrsta framlagiö.
Students at the Icelandic
University in Reykjavík recently
handed over their first instal-
ment to the newly established
“Students’ National Library Fund” in
the amount of $14,000, which stu-
dents had collected among them-
selves and within the University.
This is the first fruit of a national
drive among students to strengthen
the new National Library which will
be officially opened on December lst.
The fund is intended to enable the
library to buy more professional mag-
azines in the various disciplines.
Students have found, that Icelandic
libraries are lagging behind their for-
eign counterparts in this area. The
students wanted to take the lead and
have for the last few weeks collected
for the fund within their own ranks
and within the University in
Reykjavík. One of their ways to raise
funds was bv selling a lapel pin. On
the picture Brynhildur Þórarinsdóttir
is handing over the first instalment to
Einar Sigurðsson, director of the
Library.
Fjórburarnir sex ára:
Fjórburasysturnar Alexandra, Bryn-
hildur, Dilja og Elín Guðjónsdætur í
Mosfellsbæ verða sex ára á þriðjudag.
Þær fengu hver sitt úrið í afmælisgjöf.
Systurnar eru byrjaðar í skóla og eru í
Fyrsta bekk í Varmárskóla. Þegar spurt er
um hvað sé skemmtilegast í skólanum segir
Alexandra að sér þyki mest gaman að púsla,
uppháhald Diljár er að læra heimilisfræði
en þær Elín og Brynhildur hafa mest gaman
af að perla. Þær eru byrjaðar í sundi og leik-
fimi og þykir það skemmtilegt. Stundum
fara þær líka í sund með pabba sínum, en
þá ekki nema tvær í einu.
í skólanum hafa systumar kynnst nýjum
krökkum. Þær sögðust allar eiga sömu
vinkonuranr, “og við eigum líka sömu
frænkumar,” bætti Brynhildur við.

BILLBOARD
in lceland
National Students Council of the University of lceland has initiated a
national campaign in support of the new National and University
Library, which will open on the National Independence day,
December Ist, in commemoration ot the 50th anniversary of the Republic
of lceland. University students have aimed at collecting a substantial
amount of money to be used to meet the deficiencies in the Library's col-
lection. It is obvious to everyone that a good, scholarly library is the neces-
sary foundation of research and scholarship in lceland.
A recent study has shown that the lcelanders are far behind other
Western nations in the funds allotted for the purchase of new scientific
publications and our objective is to change this through the current
national campaign. A number of respected university figures and digni-
taries sit on the Honorary Board of this campaign, its official Protector is
the President of lceland, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir.
In the light of the above, we ask your support. A special bank
account for the National Book Fund has been established in the National
Bank of lceland, West Side Branch (account no. 11294). Contributions
may be made directly to this account.
Your support will be greatly appreciated. This is a cause for the good
of everyone, a strong library is a necessary condition for the independent
survival of lcelandic culture in the contemporary context. We very much
hope foryour response prior to December Ist.
Further information can be requested at the office of the National
Union of lcelandic Students, 101 Reykjavík, telephone 621080 or 621081.

The quadruplet sisters six years old:
Alexandra, Brynhildur, Diljá and
Elín Guðjónsdóttirs in

sixth birthday on October 25th. The
sisters all got a watch for a birthday
gift. They are attending grade one in
Varmár-School. At the school
Alexandra likes to do puzzles, Diljá
likes to play house, and Elín and
Brynhildur enjoy doing crafts. They
are also leaming swimming and gym-
nastics and enjoying it. Sometimes
they go swimming with their father,
but only two at a time.
In school they have made new
friends. They all have the same friends
and Brynhildur added that they also
have the same cousins.
Bear or Horse?:
Many people were startled when this picture first appeared in the
horse magazine “Eiðfaxi” and felt that the animal looked like a bear
or a muskox, but on second look it was definitely a horse. His name
is Rector and he lives at Holtsmúli in Landsveit. Seen here with Rector, the
young lady on the farm, Elín Sigurðardóttir. Rector was her first riding
horse. He is now 22 years old. Sigurður Sæmundsson, farmer at Holtsmúli,
said that his hair began to grow longer as he got older and for the last few
years his hair got so thick, that he had to be sheared in the spring as he was
not shedding his winter coat. Rector was once a stallion and took part in
horse shows and races. He is now retired and enjoys life among the younger
foals at Holtsmúli.
