THE MICHIGAN OAILY TIIURSDAY, MAY 1, 1947 W IN . r T ___ - ._ _ __ HELP FOR SCHOLARS: Leading Research Libraries Develop Book Exehanoe Plan The libraries of the University of Michigan will cooperate with other leading research libraries in the nation in a newly developed plan to insure fuller coverage of books in specialized fields so as to meet more completely the particu- lar needs of scholars. "The Farmington Plan," as it is known, is designed to make available in the United States all works of research value published in foreign countries. It is the in- tention of the libraries participat- ing to apportion among them- selves the responsibility for ob- SLID Party To Celebrate Re-Activation The Student League for Indus- trial Democracy will sponsor a "week-end coming-out party" Sat- urday and Sunday to inaugurate its renewed active role on campus after a lapse of over 12 years. A "potato pancake party" will be held at 8 p.m. Saturday at 713 S. Division Street. Refreshments and games will be offered. All stu- dents interested in SLID have been invitednto attend, meet the mem- be~rs and find out about the or- ganization by Bill Gamzon, pub- licity chairman of the group. Aaron Levenstein, noted econo- mist, will speak to the group on "Labor Looks to the Future" at 3 p.m. Sunday in the Union. A dis- cussion period will follow the talk. The Student League for Indus- trial Democracy, which was active on campus until 1935, seeks to en- courage cooperatives, democratic public control and ownership of social legislation, civil rights, edu- cation and international organiza- tion, and aims at the preservation and fulfillment of the democratic way of life, according to Gamzon. "The SLID is not a political party, affiliated with any political party or supporter of any politi- cal party," Gamzon said. "We are trying to make democracy 'a living reality in every aspect and reach of our common life', and for these reasons we do not allow totali- tarians such as racists, fascists or communists to join our organiza- tion," he added. taining books in specific fields; each library will then be free to draw on the stocks of any others in the association through the agency of inter-library loans. 50 Libraries Participate The action was taken in Wash- ington, D.C., by a meeting of rep- resentatives of the nation's 50 largest research libraries. Dele- gates from university, college, spe- cial and certain public libraries with research interests partici- pated. At present the Farmington Plan is in its tentative stages. There- fore, only books will be obtained which are in the Latin alphabet and the proponents of the plan are limiting the present program to the countries of Sweden, France and Switzerland as areas for ob- taining books. Only books printed after January 1, 1948 will be ac- quired. Outline of Plan According to W. G. Rice, Direc- tor of the General Library, the process will work like this.: Each participating library will be given a list of several hundred fields from which it will select several in which to commit itself to obtain all pertinent works. The number of fields will depend on the expenditures each library is in a position to make. After the options ,have been made, a committee will designate book dealers in foreign countries who will purchase all important books and send them to their client libraries in this country. Once the books are in the hands of a research library their titles will be cataloged and reported to The Library of Congress in Washing- ton. Here titles will be filed in a union catalog which will then show the holdings of all the asso- ciating libraries. The procurement of books in any field will not be an exclusive ac- tivity of the library specializing in that field. Libraries will be per- mitted to buy books in any field they wish but much duplication among libraries will be avoided by each library taking advantage of the' extensive collections of the others. In addition to eliminating a good deal of duplication, it is hoped that the action will strengthen the entire library sys- tem, Rice said.

'JOE' THE QUEEN?: May Day History Dances By, Soviets Refuise To .Let t Diej T Today is May Day, a day as- sociated with dancing and merry- making and May Poles. According to the book, "Anni- versaries and Holidays," some au- thorities carry back the origin of May Day to the Druids. Others say that it originated with the old Roman flower festival, which fell within the period sacred to Flora, goddess of flowers, when flower dances and processions were held. In early England, May Day was considered one of the most im- (Contiiucc front Page 1) portant festivals of the year, but, as in the case of the Twelfth- night revels, it became so wild that the Puritans banned it. In the United States a damper was put on May Day by an early New England governor who cut down the Maypole after the col- onists celebrated the day in the English fashion. Probably one of the biggest May Day celebrations today will take place in Moscow where the tra- ditional p a r a d e through Red Square emphasizing national de- fense will be held. The Soviets plan to combine politics with fes- tivity by decorating the city with portraits of Russian heroes in ad- dition to having spring bazaars with colorful booths and outdoor folk dancing and ensemble sing- ing. In Ann Arbor, nothing unusual will happen concerning May Day, and the only extra noise to be expected is the riveting at the potential General Service Build- ing. pa Psi; Phi Mu Alpha; Psi Up- silon; Sigma Nu, 7-9; Sigma Phi, 6:30-10:30; Theta Chi; Theta Xi, 7-10; Zeta Beta Tau, 6:30-9.

Liberty 21 Steps from State Street Phone 5975 ART CINEMA LEAGUE PRESENTS $(f Now the driver, on the other side of the column, is at bat. With a pneumatic rivetinghammer, which looks something like an overgrown hand fire extinguisher, he forges a new head on the rivet to com- plete the operation, all taking considerably less than a minute. In a few seconds the rivet is cool and the weld, made tighter by the contracting metal, is strong enough to outlast a new fountain pen. A coat of red lead to protect them from rust covers the rivets when they are well cooled. Cosmopolitan Riviters The four rivet gangs working on the General Service Building are cosmopolitan. One gang is from Pittsburgh, two are from Montreal and one is from Detroit. H. "Smokey" Burke, a native of Pittsburgh and an all-around iron worker for 27 years, is foreman of riveters. The son of an iron work- er, Smokey started in early to learn riveting. He has quite a few scarred decorations about his Irish head and face commemora- tive of the learning process. "You have to be brought up with it to be a good riveter," Smokey says. Of Rosie and other women riv- eters popular during the war, Smokey speaks politely but with- out great admiration. "They're all right in airplane factories working with three-six- teenths-inch rivets," he said, but added that they wouldn't do in jobs like the current one. New Hammers Henry Robinett, of Pittsburgh, who has been with the company since 1903, says that while rivet- throwing and the four-man gang has remained essentially the same for as long as he can remember, th re has been a big improvement in riveting hammers, a process that used to be done by hand. The new air-driven sixteen - pound hiaminer is a lot easier to handle than the bulky oldstyle models, he A suspicion that deadly-accur- ate rivet-throwers might be good baseball pitchers was thwarted by Mr. Robinett, who has seen enough of them to know. Remem- bering only a few riveters who have played much baseball or even pitched horseshoes, he indicated that it was quite a different story for riveters on the diamond. "A lot of them couldn't catch a balloon out there," he said.s _. tICIGAN o rA v I r Rs A/YA'AIP, lQiP, A EMffl tA!ftT.Qlr Ir I I Playing Through Saturday Continuous from 1 P.M.
