THURSDAY. AUGUST 17. 1961 Tanganyika Training Directed by Iverson Tanganyika Peace Corps volunteers will launch the sec ond phase of their training program next week with a "vaca tion" in Puerto Rico, under the direction of Robert Iverson, on leave from the University. The 43 geologists, civil dergo three weeks of rugged out door training in Puerto Rico. Iverson has been directing the first phase of their training pro gram 60 hours a week of classes. "Practical experience" in suvey ing and mapping imaginary roads in the hills outside their training center at Texas Western College in El Paso is another part of their training program. THE THIRD PHASE of their training program includes seven more weeks "on the slopes of Ki limanjaro." The famed Mt. Kili manjaro in Tanganyika will be their last stop before the volun teers head for the interior of Tan ganyika to map and build "feed er" or secondary roads. These roads will aid the communica tions in the country and help farmers in getting produce to the markets faster. Before Iverson began direct ing the training program on June 26 he spent a week in Tanganyika to make the final ararngements with the government for the-proj ect. Iverson visited the campus last week and spoke to the Philippine volunteers. He said that "the guys are lonely because there are no women in this project for Tan ganyika." Next week the Tanganyika and Ghana Peace Corps volunteers will meet with President Kenne dy in a special reception in Wash ington. THE CLASSES THE volunteers are currently attending include a study of the Swahili language, East African culture, U.S. history and world politics. Arthur Young, a 1955 graduate in civil engineering from the Uni versity, was selected for this Peace Corps training program and project and has been training with the group at Texas Western Col lege. Minder Heads 2 Commitees Thomas L. Minder, engi neering library, was appoint ed chairman of two commit tees at the meeting of the American Society for Engi neering Education. These two committees will study ways and means of integrating communications and information searching with the practice of en gineering and the training of en gineers. A MONTH EARLIER, at the convention of the Special Li braries Association, he was chosen chairman of a committee of that association to study the same problem. As chairman of com mittees in two separate organiza tions, he said that he expects to make the study a joint effort. Minder said that the lack of training in the art of assimilation of information is making engi neers out-of-date soon after grad uation. Libraries should be alert to this situation, he said, and be sensi tive to the changes and creative impulses of engineering. Minder said ,"they should cease to be pas sive storekeepers, become more aggressive, and force information into engineering practice not wait for the user of the library to ask for something he never ap preciated or understood." REORGANIZATION of techni cal libraries along more flexible lines with engineers having more say in the basic character of an engineering library is needed, Minder said, with the library be coming an integral part of engi neering. —Americans bought more new books last year than were owned by all mankind before the 20th century.

IBM Donates Gifts The University has received ,two gifts from the International Business Machine Corp. to the de partment of electrical engineer ing. The gifts were a power supply unit and a memory unit for the University's computer. The power supply unit is one of several necessary in a compu ter. It changes current from AC to DC. The memory unit is one of the most important in a computer. It stores the facts which are fed to it, and can repeat the facts when instructed to do so. Both units are being installed in the University computer "Penn stac," according to Dr. Harold Tarpley, professor of electrical engineering, who is in charge of the electronic brain..
