THE MICHIGAN DAILY HEADQUARTERS IN MODERN BUILDING: Press Publishes Many Scholarly Works at 'U' OH PLEASE-Registration at the University is a mechanical process in which it seems no amount of pleading can help any student get into a class which has the "filled" trademark-in- scribed upon it. To the bewildered freshman trying not to be stuck with a noon English 23 class through to the most aloof senior who "absolutely will not take a Saturday class under any circumstances," the process is one of the constant heart failure until all classes are duly recorded. By KATHLEEN MOORE The University Press is a Uni- versity department concerned with scholarly publishing. The University Press annually publishes a wide variety of books. Books written by scholars which appeal to the general public, and books written by scholars for use of fellow-scholars in highly- specialized fields of interest ap- pear regularly on its publications list. New Quarters in 1956 Before the University Press moved into its present quarters, a modern building at 412 May- nard completed in the spring of 1956, its offices were scattered around the campus: in the Gen- eral Library, the Rackham Build- ing, and in an old building on Maynard Street. The Press now shares its quar- ters with the Official Publica- tions Office, which issues all of- ficial bulletins including the Time Schedule used by students during registration and the Publications Distribution Service which handles the billing, shipping, and accounting for all publishing de- partments on campus. Preparing Comprehensive History The University Press is current- ly preparing the publication of a comprehensive history of the modern world. Four of the 15 volumes dealing with practically every area In the world will be re- leased this fall. They are "Latin America: A Modern History," by J. Fred Rippy; "Russia and the Soviet Union: A Modern History," by Warren B. Walsh; "The Near East: A Modern. History," by Wil- liam Yale; and "The Far East: A Modern History," by Nathaniel Peffer. The other 11 volumes in the set will be released during the next three years. When finished the University's history of the modern world, written by leading his- torians, will provide Americans with a"firm grasp of their (other nations') historical past" accord- ing to Allan Nevinsco-editor. Salk Vaccine Reaffirmed Prof. Gordon C. Brown of the School of Public Health reaf- firmed yesterday the potency and safety of the Salk polio vaccine. Referring to the polio outbreak in Detroit, Prof. Brown said, "The record of the vaccine is good in this current epidemic. The serious cases have not been completely vaccinated."! The professor is one'of. a group studying the viruses which caused this outbreak. He revealed many of the non-paralytic cases which outwardly have the appearance of poliomyelitis are actually being caused by viruses other than polio, including mumps. "The other viruses are so simi- lar that it is impossible to make a clinical differentiation between them and polio," Prof. Brown said. "It is not surprising so many people are hospitalized even though they have had the three shots," the professor continued. "Polio vaccine does not prevent these other diseases." Of those cases which turned out to be polio, the majority of the people did not have any shots at all, Prof. Brown noted. "There hasn't been a single confirmed case of polio in a completely vac- cinated person - one having had all three shots," he said.

Two recently established series have had a. bearing on the sharp rise in sales: The Ann Arbor Paperbacks be- gan to appear three years ago. All the boolts in this series are re- prints of intellectual boks of in- terest to students and the general public. New Science Series The other series, the Ann Ar- bor Science Library, begun last fall, deals with specific areas in the field of science. Written for the general reader by leading sci- entists, its topics range from a study of "The Senses" by Wolf- gang von Buddenbrock to a study of the tides in "Ebb and Flow" by Albert Defant. Among the books written for a highly specialized audience are the "Middle English Dictionary" edited by Hans Kurath which has been in preparation for 30 years. The work, which is published in many parts, is useful only to ex- perts in Middle English. v H. Ashley Weeks, of the Uni- versity business administration school, is author of another very specialized book, "Youthful Of- fenders at Highfields." The book is a survey of the effects of a new sort of psychology in the treat- ment of juvenile delinquents, and. is useful to scholars in the field. The University Press publishes a vast variety of scholarly books of all types. Many, including the forthcoming "Religion - and the State University" by. Erich Wal- ter, provide both interesting and informative reading for the gen- eral public, and. specific informa- tion for study by scholars in the author's particular area of com- petence. 1 PETITIONS NOW AVAILABLE for SENIOR POSITIONS on the GARGOYLE announces. 200 SUBSCRIPTIONS.
