WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1970 7 Eastern Schoo!s To Pool Library Collections Resources To Expand There's a new kind of population ex plosion sweeping the country these days, only it's libraries, not hospitals, which are groan ing under the burden. New books are being published at the rate of more than three an hour, according to recent statistics from officials at the Uni versity library. "Last year alone there were some 22,000 new titles published just in the United States, plus seven or eight thousand new editions," reports Charles H. Ness, assistant director for library public services. With that kind of output, not even the largest and most affluent library could hope to maintain comprehensive collections in every field of knowledge. The building space alone would probably take up half of the Penn State campus." But what may be impossible for one university, could be "cake" for seven. And so, the University and six other schools along the Eastern seaboard have formed a consortium aimed at -providing . vastly ex panded library resources through an elab orate system of interlibrary loan and co operation. Labeled the Mid-Atlantic Research Li braries Information Network (MARLIN), the consortium includes the University, the Uni versity of Delaware, the Johns Hopkins Uni versity, the University of Maryland, the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, Princeton Univer sity and Rutgers University. "The idea for the consortium evolved from the realization that most academic li Workers' League Plans Speaker, Forum, Rally The Penn State Workers' League Club will present Tim Wohlforth, national secretary of the Workers' League, at 7:30 p.m. on April 18 in S-209, Human Development South in a rally to gather campus support for its program. Frank Casden, league member, made the announcement at the Workers' League meeting Monday. He said dormitory forums to discuss the Workers' League perspective also will be held every Monday at 7 p.m. in 217 Hetzel Union Building and a rally in support of National Workers' League programs will be held at 2 p.m. April 14 in the HUB Ballroom. Casden said the Workers' League is working on a national level to involve labor in the anti-war movement. Plans include a mass labor rally to end the war on April 15 in Washington. Workers' League national is making the following demands, Casden said. _ . . —"lmmediate, unconditional withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Southeast Asia. —"Fight inflation with a full 'escalator clause' in every con- —"Fight racism by demanding jobs for all. —"Fight unemployment by fighting for a 30 hour week at 40 hours pay. —"Build a Labor Party break from the twin parties of war, inflation and unemployment." At the meeting, Casden also spoke about the Vietnam War "in the context of the current crisis of international Capitalism." The Workers' League Plan for ending the war includes the involvement of labor in the anti-war movement. "Only the working class has the power to bring the war to an immediate end," Casden said. Walker Award Nominations Cut-off Date Set for May I The date of May 1 has been fixed as the cut-off date for recommendations for the second Eric A. Walker award to be presented to an outstanding student at the University. - Established last May under the auspices of the Ad ministrative Committee on Student Affairs, the honor is ac corded each year to the graduating senior adjudged to have contributed most in enhancing the reputation of the University through hard work beyond the classroom. The first winner was Robert E. Emery of Longmeadow, Mass., gymnastics star, senior .class president, and a ,pre medical major. The award consists of a trophy ....resented to each in dividual winner and the inscription of that student's name on a larger. permanent trophy. "The College Council presidents, who make the final decision on the award, plan to make this year's selectipn dur ing the first' part of May," reports John J. Swords, assistant to the vice president for Student Affairs. "Any senior who will be graduating in June or who was graduated subsequent to last June. is eligible for the award." Swords says letters have been sent to the presidents of all student organizations on campus soliciting their help in collect ing names of nominees for the award. In addition, trustees, alumni, administrative personnel, graduate students 'and , graduate faculty are asked to submit recommendations they might have to Swords in 111 Old Main. The nominations should include the name of the student, his college, major, date of graduation and a brief summary of his or her activities and accomplishments that might be instrumental in helping the College Council make its decision.

Carl Jackson, director of University li braries, and one of the originators„ of MARLIN. "A growing interdependence is necessary so that libraries can meet the increased needs of a growing number of scholars. Increased budgetary pressures, rapid growth of pub lishing, and mounting demands of faculty can be alleviated only through cooperative ar rangements like this." Relying on such established services as teletype, which now connects four MARLIN members, and the University's already suc cessful "Flying Books" program, the consor tium is developing new concepts for making its combined resources easily accessible to each of the other members. "Barring unforeseen delays, it is possible to borrow an urgently needed book and have it delivered to us by commuter airline within 24 to 36 hours after the request is made," points out Ness. "The other day we received a 'Flying Book' from Princeton within 24 hours after a faculty member requested it." The consortium is also concerned about improving conventional delivery services. As an example, the University and other MARLIN members will soon receive and deliver books on interlibrary loan by United Parcel. At the same time, the development of an elaborate network of computers and tele facsimile copiers to link each instittition is under study. Survey Reveals Increase in Number Of Blacks Elected to Public Office WASHINGTON (AP) —Blacks in in creasing numbers are being elected to public office in the United •States but in proportions still far below their per centage of the total population, a survey by two private organizations showed Yesterday. The survey listed 1,969 black office holders—the largest number in the nation's history—but said the figure represents only three-tenths of one per cent of the more than 500,000 elected of ficials in the country. Blacks make up about 11 per cent of the total population. Blacks hold elected office in 41 of the 50 states, . and are in positions ranging from U.S. senator to justice of the peace and school board member. The survey, completed Feb. 21. was compiled by the Metropolitan Applied Research Center of Washington and New York and the Voter Education Project of the Southern Regional Council in Atlanta. Comparisons with the previous year's figures showed a gain of about 100. • Court Levies Fine WDFM Schedule On Drug Charges . 6:28 a.m. Sign On 1 4:30 a.m. Rock, news at :15 Michael A.

But Vernon Jordan, who headed the Voter Education Project, said that as late as 1965, just after passage of the Voting Rights Act, the list of black office holders in the South totaled just over 75. The survey showed that of the 1,469 black office holders. 564 or 38 per cent live in the South, mostly in small towns: while 62_ per cent live in the North and West, mostly in cities. According to the survey, there are 48 black mayors, 57f; other city officials, 362 school board members and 168 state legislators. Also, 114 black judges and magistrates, most of them outside the South, and 99 other black law enforce ment officials—constables, marshals and sheriffs—most of them in the South. In Congress, there are nine blacks in the House and one senator. Edward Brooke (R-Mass.).
