Reader New Copyright Bill May Affect Students Just two days before the semester begins, a professor frantically calls the univers ity library to request 25 copies of an article to be put on reserve. He has neglected to order the book or journal from the publisher or perhaps he simply 'wants■ to write off the expense to the school instead of charging his students for the original. Or maybe 25 copies of the original were unavailable. The library pays for the copying machine, the paper, the administrative details, but it pays no one for the educational material which it reprints. In fact, the material that is so valuable to the students in the class is absolutely free. But it Congress passes the copyright legislation now being considered by committees in both the House and Senate, the library would be liable for a $50,000 fine for reprinting those 25 copies. The new law will protect authors and 'xams Closing Date for Application 9/22/75 11/12/75 10/10/75 1/9/76 9/11/75 11/10/75 10/16/75 10/18/75 12/13/75 11/1/75 1/31/76 10/11/75 12/6/75 11/8/75 of student activities.

Last year, a substantially similar bill was passed in the Senate but the session ended before the House considered its own copyright legisgation. Committee sources in the House predict that a new copyright bill will be voted on within the next year. The new law as proposed would allow the free duplication of copyrighted material “for purposes such as criticism, comment, mres reporting, teaching, schol arship, or research.’’ This “amorphous doctrine” of “fair use,” as the Supreme Court called it last year in ruling on a copyright case, varies from case to case depending on such intang ibles as “the nature and Research Award Given :Dr. Sabir Dahir, associate professor of engineering at Capitol and Professor J.J. Henry at Penn State-Univer sity Park have won a research award contest sponsored by the United States Department of Trans portation. ' The award will sponsor research on friction and wear of highways. The specific program is entitled “Alterna tives for Optimization of Aggregate and Pavement Properties Related to Fric tion and Wear Resistance.” The DOT award is for $99,250 and extends from July 1, 1975 through March 31, 1977. Dr. Dahir, a resident of Middletown, has a well established reputation in highway surface design. A former professor at the Christian Brothers College in Memphis, Tenn., Dahir has taught in the engineering technology prodram at Cap itol since 1971. V D Lecture Held On October Bth, at 12:00 noon in the auditorium two V.D. films followed by a lecture were scheduled, according to Roberta Mleod, coordinator of student activ ities. Only seven people, all members of the staff at the Capitol Campus, were present to hear Dr. David R. Halbert of the Hershey Medical Center. Since the turn-out was poor and the films could not be found, Dr. Halbert answered questions for nearly one and a half hours. According to Gary Banks, Pennsylvania of Health, venereal disease is increas ing. Although this rise can be attributed in part to population growth and co operation in seeking aid, it is only through information and knowledge that the current increase can be checked. Michael Barnett Staff Writer purpose” of the work, the anount copied and the financial effect of copying on the potential market for the material. Fair use does not include what the bill calls “system atic” reproduction of copy righted material. Library copying for inter-library loans and reserve copies would probably fall under this category of “system atic” reproduction. In testimony before the House Judiciary Subcomm ittee on Courts, Civil Liberties and the Admini stration of Justice this summer, educators claimed that this bill would be devastating to the teaching process. “Educational users need special protection over and above that provided commercial users,” Bernard J. Freitag, a National Education Association rep resentatve said. “They have a public responsibility for teaching. They work for the people--not for profit.” The benefits of using reprints-access to materials that would otherwise be too costly for most libraries and students to afford-would be lost if the bill were approved, the educators argued. Prov iding resources from a wide range of journals and collections gives the stud ent a broader view than if one textbook were assigned for each class. But writers and publishers have a different perspective. While cheap reproductions mean less money from student pocketbooks, they also mean less money in the author's bank account. In many cases, this is a substantial financial loss for the writer. “(Librarians and educ ators) are asking writers to ignore their own economic difficulties and act like good socialists, spurning the profit motive and resigning themselves to a diminished income, while the rest of the country continues to act like a clutch of hard-nosed capitalists," author Michael Mawshaw wrote in the Chronicle of Higher Educat ion. 37ie HALLMARK CARDS STATIONERY GIFTS CANDLES PLANT HANGERS WOODEN WARE Open Thur. & Fri.
