Alumna Helps
India's People
To Know U.S.
By PHOEBE FELDMAN
As director of the U.S. Informa-I
tion Service Library in New Delhi,
India, University of Michigan
alumna Elizabeth Robb helps
northern India's inhabitants to a
better understanding of the Unit-
ed States.
Miss Robb. who spent 15 years
in American library work before
she got the New Delhi director-
ship, finds'that the position is an
all-inclusive one.
During March, Miss Robb and
other library officials aided a
delegation from the India Min-
istry of Information study meth-
ods of handling reference ma-
terial.
* * *
EVERY MONTH, library offi-
cials answer an average of over
100 letters asking about U.S. life.
Monthly, too, over thirty times
that number of North India res-
idents come to the library them-
selves to read American newspa-
pers and periodicals.
According to library officials,
books on U.S. forestry, medi-
cine and aeronautical engineer-
ing are the ones in biggest de-
mand.
Miss Robb, who attended three
other colleges and universities in
the U.S. besides the University,
finds that she still remains di-
rectly connected with American
higher education. Acting in con-
junction with the Indian Minis-
try of Education, she also helps
select the Indian students com-
ing to this country under the
Smith-Mundt Act to do advanced
study.
DISCUSSING a library which
the U.S. Information Service re-
cently founded outside New Delhi,
Miss Robb remarks that:
"It maintains a service sim-
ilar to the circulation by the
mobile libraries in rural areas
in America," she remarks. "Mes-
sengers with supplies of books
ride bicycles from town to town
depositing books with the heads
of each (town), who then loan
them out."
But probably one of the most
interesting parts of her job is
planning the classical record con-
certs which are held weekly in
the library.
Periodically, Miss Robb plays
some American folk and popular
music. And on the record, Milton
Berle wows 'em in New Delhi too.
The Women's Phy.ical Edtca-
Lion Department is plauniik;,
;omething brand new on canpus
a "Play Day" strictly for the en-
joyment of Michigan physical ed-I
ucation majors from here and sur-
rounding colleges.
"Play Day" will be held from
9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday,
April 30, when, if the weather is
sunny, guests will participate in
softball, tennis, golf and archery.
Chairman of the day is Betsy
Bousfield. Her assistant Nancy
Somers, remarked, "I hope that
physical education majors will
have the opportunity to discuss
the programs offered to them at
their respective schools and that
they will enjoy meeting majors
from other schools."

MICHIGAN STATE, Michigan
State Normal, Western Michigan,
Central Michigan, Wayne Univer-
sity, Adrian College and the Uni-
versity of Toledo will all send ap-
proximately 15 women majoring"
in physical education to the Mich-+
igan "Play Day."
Registration will come first
when guests receive a name-
tag and are assigned to one of
four teams. Following this Dr.
Margaret Bell, chairman of the
Program of Physical Education
for Women, will welcome every-
one to the Michigan campus.
At 10 a.m., the four teams com-
posed of students from each of
the seven visiting schools and
Union Presents
Mi hiaIn, will match wits in the
LaIOUS spoIts planned.
LUNCIIEON will be served at
noon ni WAB when everyone will
get together for sandwiches and
salad after which they will be
entertained by the Michigan ma-
jors.
Entertainment will include a
midget comedian act, a dance
duet by Virginia Seput and
Edith Daniels, a dance number
centered around "The Dark
Town Strutter's Ball," group
singing, mixers and square
dancing.
At 1 p.m. the squars will start
again with each team taking part
in a sport which it had not par-
ticipated in previously. Everyone
will thus have the opportunity to
take part in all activities.
* * *
TEA WILL BE SERVED at 3:30,
interspersed with a general ex-
change of ideas concerning the
day and questions which may still
have gone unanswered.
Tennis Ball
There will be a meeting of
the publicity committee of
Tennis Ball at 4 p.m. Monday
in Room 3D of the Union.
Central committee members
working with Miss Botsfield and
Miss Somers include Betty Kar-
keet, invitations and registra-
tion; Virginia Seput, general
schedule organizer and Vivian
Frazier, who located officials
and equipment.
Sue Rose planned the lunch-
eon and entertainment; Marilyn
Heiman is handling the tea and
Phyllis Seput is in charge of
publicity, decorations and the de-
signing of a program.
* * *
RAIN WILL not bring a halt
to "Play Day" because the com-
mittee has spent as much time
in preparation for an alternative
indoor program which would in-
clude badminton, basketball, gym-
nastics, bowling, ping-pong, ar-
chery, golf and progressive games.
Each of the seven schools who
are attending, will bring several
faculty members who instruct
physical education. They will
spend the day watching the games
and in discussion groups.
Last year the department held
a program similar to this, but in-
vited high school students who
were interested in physical educa-
tion. This is the first time other
colleges have been invited. It i
hoped that such a plan will con-
tinue as a Michigan tradition.
