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.

braries can no longer be self-sufficient," says
W. 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.

However, it was noted that accurate
comparisons with earlier years could not
be made because records were not kept
outside the South until recently.
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

tion runs April 30. May 1 to 2 and 5 to 9, at the Pavilion.
The production of "Medea" which will involve slide
images, a complete musical score and sung musical segments,
also will feature a professional actress as guest artist to play
the lead. Her name will be announced shortly by the depart
ment.
"Medea" runs May 14 to 16, and 19 to 23 at the Playhouse.
"Open Ended Moonsong" is written by this year's
recipient of the Samuel S. Shubert Fellowship in playwriting.
It will play May 28 to 30 at the Pavilion.
