THE MICHIGAN DAIlY TUESDAY, _TUESDAY . .:.. ..,._..,, ,z TEXTBOOKS TO LEND: 'U' Library Aids Students ' By WALTER VOGTMANN Perhaps little known, yet one of the University's greatest services to students in financial need is the textbook leanding library. ' Since its founding in 1937 through student gifts and the fi- nancial help of alumni, the library ias provided textbooks for hun- dreds of needy students-students who otherwise could not have con- iinued their study at the Univer- pity. * * * HOUSED IN Angell Hall Study Hall, the library's textbook lend- ing services are available to any University student whose restrict- ed financial status shows evidences of genuine need for the services. The genuine need of a student is determined by either a dean, concentration adviser, academic counselor or appropriate official of his college, who may recom- mend the student for the library Penefits. Books are charged to students for one semester with the privilege of renewing the loan for another semester, provided the. books have not been carelessly handled. DURING THE PAST 12 years of its operation one of the library's problems has been to keep its textbook collection up to date to meet with changing text require- ments of courses. It has done this in part by selling those textbooks which have become obsolete, using the proceeds to purchase books in current use. But its chief problem has been in meeting the students' require- ments for various courses in the University. * * * . THE 1,873 VOLUMES in the li- brary at present cover only a frac- tion of the course textbooks cur- rently being used in the University, and consequently it. frequently fails to fulfill student requests. However, it has tried to ac- * * * * -Daily--Wally Barth TEXTBOOK LENDING LIBRARY-Lillian Rickel, University li- brarian, takes inventory of the 1873 volumes in the Textbook Lending Library. The library, founded in 1937, on the gifts of students and alumni, aids needy students with books. * * * * quire the texts for the more pop- ular courses Sometimes it makes ,special purcases to supply spe- cific' texts which are urgently needed. But because of a small fund, such practices are neces- necessarily limited. And now with the enrollment of veterans attending the University on the GI Bill rapidly declining, the library anticipates an evenj greater demand for its facilities. SINCE ITS founding the library has mainly relied on the book con- tribution it has received from stu- dents and faculty members. Also, several alumni helped by the library in the past have sent in money helping the library col- lection. The library was patterned after the Yale University textbook lend- ing library, which has a collection of about 60,000 volumes. NSA To Hold Conference Next Spring (Continued from Page 1) The 1950 summer travel pro- grams were announced by Er- skine Childers, NSA interna- tional vice president. Childers attended the meeting to help plan the regianal international program. Childers will attend the London ^onference of Western national tudents union Dec. 21-22, which wlil consider tactical means for he reform of the Communist- lominated International Union of 3tudents. IUS now has represen- tatives of approximately 54 na- tional student groups. IN AN KEYNOTE address to the conference, Childers said that NSA was built on two basic convepts- meeting the material and educa- tional needs of students. Materially, NSA is providing students with programs such as the Purchase Card System and foreign travel, exchange and re- lief programs, Childers said. Educationally, the Association is concerned with the development of of student government, aca- demic freedom, the Student Bill of Rights, and improvement of col- lege curricula. HE EMPHASIZED that NSA has been continually growing, and has achieved these basic accom- plishments: 1. Expanding membership (to 325 member schools in the United States in three years) and the con- solidation of NSA programs. 2. National recognition as the voice of the student body of the nation by government and educa- tional leaders. He pointed out this recognition has been shown by NSA's only all- student seat on the U.S. Commis- sion for UNESCO, and invitations by the National Education Associ- ation, the American Association of Colleges, and other national edu- cational and civic groups to par- ticipate in their activities.

SpweedGrop To G iVe One-Act Play ill Today By BOB SOLT Students attempting to buy pen- icillin without a doctor's prescrip- tion for treatment of colds or strep throat will encounter firm resistance from Ann Arbor's phar- macists, a recent Daily survey showed. Most of the local druggists, who are expecting an increase in the number of students asking for penicillin during the coming win- ter months, will require a written slip from a physician before selling the drug. * * * OF 12 DRUG STORES on the campus asked to sell penicillin without a prescription, 11 would not dispense the drug unless med- ical authorization could be fur- nished. Their position was indicated by one druggist who pointed to the caution printed on the label of a penicillin container which read, "To be dispensed only on or by presription of a physician." Only one of the local drug stores visited sold a lozenged from of penicillin without prescription. "THE USE of penicillin and similar drugs in few and small doses may not by itself be dan- gerous," one University pharmacist said. "But too frequent use of these drugs for minor ailments could make the human organism im- mune to them at a time when the drug's powers are needed, most." Several pharmacists opposed selling penicillin without a doctor's prescription because of uncertain- ty as to how the drug may react. They said that intramuscular injections administered by phy- sicians kill only part of the germs. Self treatment, administered ex- ternally is sometimes ineffective and often harmful in treating a cold, they agreed. PHARMACISTS also stated that intermittent use of penicillin and other drugs on the advice of a physician is just as effective as trying to combat an ailment with large, sudden doses. Explaining the legal aspects in- volved Chief Pharmacist Arthur J. Gibson of the Health Service said that "the Federal Food and Drugs Bureau has laid down no specific and clear-cut law forbidding the sale of certain types of penicillin." Dr. Gibson emphasized that control over the sale of penicil- lin is an "ethical and profession- al responsibility of pharma- Icists." As for the caution printed on the penicillin container, Dr. Gib- son said it is placed there by the manufacturer of the drug to pro- tect himself from legal suit.. But the concensus of opinion among pharmacists was that stu- dents should be. hesitant to buyl and use a drug whose effects in some cases are not certain to even well -trained bacteriologists.
