'. Paperwork Floods World of Science By JUDITH BLEIER It is becoming increasingly more difficult for the scientist to keep up with the ever-growing flood of published scientific infor- mation, and it appears as if more and more researchers are being buried by their own knowledge. The problem takes two forms: how to translate the tremen- dous number of scientific journals and reports into different languages and how to catalog the information once it has been published. Major difficulties in translation do not only concern the scientific field; they exist in every academic enterprise. Translation Problems One simply cannot translate, word for word, from one language into another. Some words have several different trans- lations when transformed into a foreign language; others have no precise equivalent. In the scientific world this problem is especially acute since exact definitions are often demanded. Devising a common language for scientific data does not seem to be a pratical solution to the problem; it is simply too late. Outside of the use of Latin in the biological sciences, there has been little success in trying to apply a common codification to an academic field. Machine translation is still in its infancy, although it is -probable that in the not too distant future the automatic trans- lator will become a standard piece of equipment in the research fields. At the University, however, machine translation of scientific material is still almost non-existent and practically everything which is translated is done by hand. Marriage Broker The Office of Research Administration provides for much of the translation of scientific material which is done at the Uni- versity. While not participating directly in the enterprise, ORA acts as a sort of marriage broker between two interested parties: one who needs material translated and one who is willing to do Vtedious work. ORA gets requests from private industry as well as the Uni- versity itself, and attempts to keep up-to-date files of all faculty members who have indicated a desire to take on outside jobs in this field. "We make no recommendation concerning fees," Assistant Editor Rudolf Schmerl, who manages the project says. "These arrangements are left to the persons involved. But, since the service is entirely intra-university, the arrangement is advan tageous to both because the fee is generally lower than that charged elsewhere and because the translator has the opportunity to use his proficiency and earn extra income." Swamped Scientists The second part of the problem concerns the scientist who is swamped by an enormous amount of published information and yet has no logical way of .finding specific data to aid him in his research. . Although scientists complain of having too much to read, at M the present time it is becoming so difficult to discover just what has been done in the past that it is often more economical to re-do an experiment than to find out if it has already been done. r In a recent New York Times report, Senator Hubert Hum phrey (D-Minn) noted that $200 million a ..year is being wasted in this manner in the electronics field alone. . Need New Catalog It appears that in addition to the use of automation in trans- lating material, an index or catalog of scientific data and re- search projects is called for. An information storage system which can file both fact and documentation seems to be the only way out of the problem. In recent years both private, and governmental groups have accepted the challenge to begin cataloging the available scientific information. AC'S Constructs 'Memory' Such work is being done in Columbus, Ohio, where the American Chemical Society is constructing a memory system which will contain every known fact about fluourine compounds. One of the largest systems has been developed by Interna- tional Business Machines Corporations for the Central Intelli- gence Agency. Units, the size of office desks, store 990,000 docu- ments apiece, which appear in miniature on film strips. Another large system, that of the Armed Services Technical Information Agency, is attempting to keep at hand all research results obtained by the Army, Navy or Air Force. TO OVERSEE FINANCES: Con-Con Passes Proposal .P For Ste Contr Board By CAROLINE DOW The State Board of Education may be making recommendations on budgets for higher education by next year. The constitutional convention passed proposal number 47 last week, instituting a State Board of Eduaction to supervise, coordinate and assist in financial recommendations for all public eduaction in the state of Michigan. No Limitation. Although this board may not limit any powers given to the state colleges and universities in the constitution, the board may assist in coordination and make suggestions to the legislature on budget needs for the schools. Regent Eugene B. Power of Ann Arbor, temporary chairman of the newly formed (voluntary) Coordinating Council for Michigan Public oHigher Education, believes that OSA Study Group By ROBERT WAZEKA University counseling policy has received both an endorsement and a recommendation from the Office. of Student Affairs Study Com- mittee. The recommendation specifically was that the Vice-President for Student Affairs establish a liaison with all counseling agencies on campus. The committee hoped that such a procedure would increase the exchange of information among the several committees and would resolve the conflict between counseling and disciplinary re- sponsibility, especially in the resi- dence halls. The endorsement was of the "excellent" general statement con- cerning the University's philosophy toward counseling. This philosophy was set forth in a pamphlet en- titled "A Guide to the Resources for Student Counseling and Advis- ing at the University," published in 1958. The general statement sets forth the purpose of University counsel- ing as helping the student to be- come an intellectually and socially well-integrated individual who is able to solve for himself the prob- lems he will face in his future life. Academic advising forms the basis of the counseling structure. But this advising must adhere to two basic principles. The first is that it should both help and encourage the student to obtain the maximum educational benefits available to him, and that, Bucks its existence is justified only as it measures up to this standard. The second principle is that the initiative for seeking advice rests with the students. The general statement displays the feeling that the student should be left free to make his own choices and that often great benefit can come if the student works out his particular problem by himself. The statement goes on to define various aspects of counseling such as career counseling, personal Counaselin counseling, and financial counsel- ing. The general statement also set boundaries in which it was neces- sary for the University to define its ideal function. The boundaries, as enumerated, are: 1) The University's prime con- cern is the intellectual, growth of the student; 2) The University is concerned with the student's social, religious, and personal well-being; 3) The University cannot as- sume long-range treatment r sponsibility for those who flue out of school; 4) Counseling should be an a: not a substitute, to decision-ma ing by the student; 5) A counselor's own consult tion with specialists is often pr ferable to referral of the stude to another agency; 6) A counselor, in aiding a st dent, must often act out of t direct sphere of contact betwe student and counselor.

The Security Council decided against putting her latest com- plaint on its agenda. Only four council mniaers gvoted to take it up. The other seven abstained. Seven affirmative votes were re- quired. Those in favor were the Soviet Union, Romania, Ghana and the United Arab Republic. The absten- tions were the United States, Britain, France, Nationalist China, Chile, Ireland and Venezuela. Same Vote Earlier, by the same lineup, the Council turned down a Soviet mo- tion to let Cuba speak in the pro- cedural debate to take up the case. This upheld its precedent against hearing outsiders before adopting its agenda. United States delegate Francis T. P. Plimpton called the com- plaint an attempt to misuse United Nations processes for Communist "cold war against the free world." He said similar Cuban charges had been "thoroughly considered and Nehru Party Wins Election By Big Margin NEW DELHI (/)-Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's Congress Party virtually clinched victory in India's national election last night, but Communists capitalizing on local grievances picked up scattered strength.

The Assembly had a Cuban com- plaint accusing the United States of "new plans of aggression and acts of intervention" against Cuba. African Suspension In Addis Ababa, the UN Eco- nomic Commission for Africa ap- proved a recommendation that South Africa be suspended until it abandons its racial segregation policies. The vote was 27 in favor with 5 abstentions - Britain, Belgium, France, Portugal and Spain. South Africa is boycotting the meeting. The recommendation will be forwarded to the Economic and Social Council for ratification. Gust Sees 'Tough Battle' For GOP in Fall Balloting By ANNE SCHULTZ and ROBERT SELWA Warning that United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther is the "single most effective politician in the United States next to Attorney General Robert Kennedy," constitutional convention dele- gate Rockwell T. Gust (R-Grosse Pointe Farms) predicted last night, that Republicans are going to have a "tough battle" in the fall state election. "This is the year we're hoping for," Gust told the Young Re- publicans. "This is the year we stand a chance." But, he said, Re- Student Groups Given Quotas For 'U' Parley s The Conference on the Univer- sity steering committee has taken the first step in the selection of student delegates to the confer- ence. The committee has assigned quotas to the various student groups on campus and has sent letters to organizations represent- ing these groups asking them to select delegates. Panhellenic Association, Inter- fraternity Council, Inter-Quad- rangle Council, Assembly Associa- tion, International Student As- sociation and the Graduate Stu- dent Council will each be allowed four representatives. Inter-Cooperative Council will be allowed two delegates. In addition Student Government Council members will be invited the state board may accept the' recommendations of the coordi- nating council, as the board itself may be "very busy" governing elementary and secondary educa- tion. Greater Power This State Board of Education will have greater powers over com- munity and junior colleges than the four year institutions, accord-' ing to Con-Con Education Com- mittee Chairman Alvin Bentley (R-Owosso). The constitutional limitation of the Boards powers to overrule the constitutional powers of govern- -ing boards does not apply to community colleges. This limita- tion will not apply because the community college boards are not mentioned specially by name in the constitution, Bentley said. As part of the community col- lege proposal, a board of eight members appointed for eight-year terms by the governor has been set up to advise the Board of Education on coordination stan- dards and budget allocations. publicans face Reuther's "insidi-7 ous, insipid, and beautiful politicalr machine" in their bid for their first gubernatorial victory after "14 years of starving in the des- ert." College Effort "Money and organization are the ways a party wins tight elec- tions, together with the efforts of college students," Gust told the YR's. "If we win, you 'will be the margin of victory," he declared. Gust said this was the case when he narrowly won election to the constitutional convention from a predominantly Democratic sena- torial district. Ringing Doorbells "Young people ringing doorbells selling my candidacy to the people turned the trick." he commented. Gust said he is seriously con- sidering entering the race for Re- publican nomination for lieuten- ant governor, But he will not make a decision until after the constitutional convention is over. Commenting on the convention, Gust said it is progressing more slowly than it could be and should be, and it will not complete its work before May. Opposes Provision The delegate said he opposes the tentatively approved provision for search and seizure because it is unconstitutional and a political "hot potato" that will lose Negro support for the constitution. Gust described students as more politically serious and politically effective today. * --- 1 Allen Aims Legislation At 'Minority': Would Require State Personnel To Take Oath of Allegiance By JUDITH OPPENHEIM By a vote of 94-6 the House of Representathes yesterday ap- proved a bill which would require all personnel paid entirely or In part from state funds to take a loyalty oath. Rep. Lester J. Allen (R-Ithaca), chief sponsor of the bill, said it l aimed primarily at a "very smll minority" of college instructor who "tell the students that capital- ism expoits the masses and so- cialism is better." Seeing "nothing more objection. able in this oath than the pledge of allegiance," Allen said later ii is necessitated by the minority o professors who, according to com- plaints from his constituents, tell students that capitalism concen- trates wealth among a few people and penalize objecting student with lower grades. Economic Freedom Agreeing that Communismn an' Socialism "are all right in theory,' Allen believes students should be taught that they do not work ou in practice and "here under capi- talism our citizens enjoy more political and economic freedom than anywhere else in the world.'. He believes the oath is an effe- tive measure, even though "sub- versives would not hesitate to take it," because if a man who ha 'taken the oath advocates Com munism or Socialism he is liable t prosecution for perjury. Rep. 'Joseph A. Gillis, Jr. (D- Detroit) pointed out in the House that the 'University, Michigar State University and Wayne State University have required oaths o loyalty to the United States and the Michigan state constitution for 25 years. Old Bridge MSU President John Hanna said the oath "is a bridge crossed years ago which has never be questioned by a member of th MSU faculty." Prof. George Peek of the politi. cal science department and chair. man of the Uiversity chapter o the American Association of Uni. versity Professors said that on the whole, the AAUP takes a dim vie of loyalty oaths. "The oaths do not do any good,' he said. "Communists will not hes itate to sign them, and many loya men are irritated by them." Wide Range Commenting that universities ar designed to encourage a wide rang of expression of opinion in searc of truth, Prof. Peek said a loyalt oath is contrary to their funda. mental purpose. _He said that in view of Gov CARL WHITE ... scores' winner WISCONSIN HOPEFUL: New 'LaFollette' Seeks Statehouse By KENNETH WINTER "The proof of the pudding will come on the second Tuesday in September-I'll find out how well I've learned my poli sci," Robert LaFollette Sucher, '45, said recently.
