A discussion between the Uni-
versity of Chicago administration
and community and campus or-
ganizations will be held next week
to discuss alleged university dis-
criminatory practices in apart-
ment renting.
Participants include members of
the university administration and
faculty, two members of the Con-
gress of Racial Equality, two
members of student Government,
representatives of the Hyde Park
Council of Churches and Syna-
gogues, the Urban League, the
Hyde 'Park-Kenwood Community
Conference and Alderman Leon
Despres.
Discussions were proposed after
incidents took place regarding stu-
dent concern on the university's
real estate policy.
Members of CORE and student
government presented the results
of six notarized test cases on
apartment discrimination to the
administration on January 16.
In each case, Negro and white
students applied for apartments
in university owned buildings. The
Negro students were allegedly re-
fused apartments that white ap-
plicants were subsequently offer-
ed.
An official statement of policy
was made by George W. Beadle,
president of the University of Chi-

cago on January 22. "Whenever
the university acquires a building
because it is threatened with de-
terioration, (the primary reason
for such acquisition), it does not
make abrupt changes of practice
with regard to occupancy, because
maintenance of a socially practi-
cable rate of integration is essen-
tial to the prevention of further
deterioiation," the statement said.
Sit-ins were held outside of
Beadle's office on. January 23 by
CORE members. They decided to
protest publicly until the admin-
istration agreed to implement a
program of non-discrimination.
The sit-ins ended February 3 aft-
er the administration threatened

AUTOMATION - In the future electronic equipment may revolutionize the inside of the Univer-
sity's libraries. Appearing the same on the outside, the General Library may someday house auto-
matic indexing devices and store microfilm reductions of books instead of the books themselves.
Students may read books on television screens and charge them with IBM cards.

Besides, by the time the library
invests in the films and the view-
er the equipment takes up as much
space as the actual storage of the
original material.
Prof. Wagman asserted that
often times the equipment and
reduction filming devices may cost
as much as buying a new building
to increase storage space.
However, use of microfilm is
helpful in storing information for
little used or decaying books. A
new process of high reduction
photography still in the laboratory
stage can store 10,000 pages on
less than a square foot ofr film.
This is one of the more promising
new processes, Prof. Wagman'
said.
Electronic Sorters
Such equipment as electronic
card sorters and machine indexing
may some day be as efficient as
the hand card catalogue, but for
the present speed and accuracy, at
,reasonable cost, can best be
achieved manually.
Computers may assist in stor-
fig of texts, abstracts and bibio g-
raphies but the expense in codify-
ing words into computer code is
extreme. Although computers can
speedily locate material from lim-
ited "supplies, often a computer
takes hours to wade through vast
supplies of material found in min-
utes manually, Prof. Wagman
said. Automatic translators and
Indexes may be useful in libraries
of the future.
Another drawback is the use of
expensive machines is that if the
equipment is not in constant use
money is being lost. Also the speed
in which equipment becomes ob-
solescent is another problem li-
braries face, according to inves-
tigators.
But library problems cannot be
solved entirely even by the devel-
opment of new, efficient ma-
chines. There is a great need for
trained library scientists, Prof.
Rudolph H. GJelness, chairman of
the library science department,
said. ,
Recently criticism has arisen
because American universities do
not offer advanced degrees in doc-
umentation, but Prof. GJelness
contends that the present doctor-
ate program in library science ac-
complishes this purpose. Any stu-
dent in library science can spe-
cialize in 'documentationaduring
the course of his work towards his.
Ph.D.
NSA To Start
Exchange Plan
A student exchange program
with Tougaloo Southern Christian
College, Jackson, Miss., is being
started ba the United States Na-
tional Student Association, Ken-
neth Miller, 1'64; chairman of
Student Government Council Stu-
dent Concerns Committee, said
yesterday.
Founded in 1869, Tougaloo was
the first privately endowed col-
lege in Mississippi for Negro stu-
dents, Miller said.
Students accepted for the pro-
gram will spend one week at
Tougaloo between March 5 and
May 20.
Miller said that the purpose of
the exchange is to give students
a better understanding of the
South and the problems of Negro
education. The program should
also. give Tougaloo's: students a
chance to meet people with -dif-
ferent educational and cultural
backgrounds.
Applications are available in
Rm. 1546 SAB and must be re-
turned by next Monday, he added.
