'Books For Asia' Makes Progress By NOMI BOHKNSTKIN Kmcrald Staff Writer Near the checkout stand in the library there is a square wooden box with the words "Books for Asia ’ printed on it Usually this box is empty But appearances arc deceiving Since last May. the t nu ersity has sent 1101 books to universities, colleges, seminaries, and libraries throughout Asia. THIS PROGRAM under the sponsorship of Head Librarian Carl Hintz was started in 1956 It lieginning resulted mainly from a combination of students' d ires to Kelp and many letters received by the University lib rary from libraries destroyed dur in.; the war that requested books, said ILntz Kach summer the University library packs the books collected during the school year and sends them to the Asia Foundation in San Francisco for distribution ACCORDING TO Hintz. the reason the Asia Foundation was chosen to distribute the books is because the Foundation is able to sent! hooks to all countries in Asia including Pakistan, Ceylon, India, Japan. Korea, and others "Hooks are sent only to insti tutions. such as universities, col leges, and libraries,” said Hintz Since its start, the University has sent 6974 books and 5327 journals to the Foundation UNTIL TWO years ago when the box was installed, books were collected during a drive held at the end of spring term Calls from people desiring to donate hooks during the year led to the installation of the box in the library, which is emptied twice a day.

Lund, associate pro fessor of geology, will speak on customs of Pakistan and show color slides at a Browsing Room Lecture Wednesday. Lund, a member of the Univer sity faculty since 1957, spent the 1961-62 academic year as a Ful bright lecturer at the University of Karachi in West Pakistan. The stay in Pakistan was part of a round-the-world trip for Lund and his wife. ‘‘Nowhere in our trip around the world did we find so many people who live the way their ancestors did 100 years ago,” said Lund, in reference to Pakistan. One major problem of Pakis tan is lack of education, said Lund. Only about 25 per cent of the people are literate. Lund noted a big gap between the educated and the uneducated in Pakistan. Lund reecived his B.S. in geol ogy from the University in 1944 He received his Ph.D. in 1950 from the University of Minnesota Lund taught previously at the University of Florida Lund has written a number of articles for scientific Journals. He also belongs to several honoraries. including Phi Beta Kappa of which he is vice president of the University’s chapter. Wallace S.

Jeff Bresee, Chairman Barbara Taylor, Secre tary Baha’i Fellowship * * * No Morality Emerald Editor: Different groups are in con flict as to what student conduct should be. There is a great deal of confusion because no one can find a criterion for determining the correctness of ethical judg ments. This is because ethical judgments have no objective validity and therefore they are neither right nor wrong. They are merely sentiments. Really, because we cannot es tablish the correctness of ethi cal judgments, there can be no morality and consequently no personal character, which is the state of affairs anyway. Michael Scott Junior, Social Science Burgess Hall and remaining Tuesdays and Thursdays wili be used for repeat performances. Club Intime, to resemble a nightclub, will be pre sented on Wednesdays.

Advertisement Vital Statistics If all the Dairy Queens bought in the last four years were to be stacked on top of each other, after you got one or two stacked up they would begin to fall down. Pretty soon they would all melt, unless you were doing it in a big freezer. Of course, if you were doing it in a big freezer, you couldn't stack them very high anyway. Better to eat them. They are better that way. “Sew much more for the money" . with the smartest Fashion Fabrics and ALL of America’s fashion pattern serv ices.
