BY DAN HAWTHORNE Kansan Staff Reporter Attention Freshman Women CWENS (honorary sophomore organization) is now accepting applications for 1975-76 members. Selection based on activities, scholarship and leadership. Contact Pam Horne, Dean of Women's office, 864-3552, this week. Technology threatens bookbinders contained mostly newspapers, periodicals, doctoral theses and extremely old materials but that more materials were becoming available. Microforma are various types of cards and films that contain miniaturized one central computer that would contain the card catalogue, system. Miniaturizing all of the material in a library into computers is considerably farther away than the card catalogue and thus makes use of the economics involved, Malpowsky said. Microfilm is one type of microform that can contain more than 1,000 pages of print on a reel of 35mm film. Another type of microform, called microfile, can contain several printed pages on three-by-five or four-by-five inch cards. "I would imagine that material contained on microforms in a sealed room with just the right temperature would last almost indefinitely," Hawkins said. "This would be the best way to store really important material and keep it in perfect condition." Microcards, a third type of microform, are three-by-five inch opaque cards that aren't transparent but are in other ways similar to microfiche. director, Rene Clair Tues., Feb. 18—Woodruff "It is a good deal easier and cheaper to mail a reel of microfilm than a bulky volume," Hawkins said. "This makes interlibrary loans much easier." SUA PRESENTS Hawkins said microforms also could eliminate many of the space problems that the University's libraries were encountering.

Superman Films She said one of the advantages of her surgery was that she had much more time to prepare paper bags. Helyar said the present methods of information gathering might not account for the demands of the market. Malinowski said complications with copyright laws might present a formidable obstacle to any mass conversion of books onto microforms. Hawkins said one thing preventing greater usage of microforms was a general decline in the use of computer. Bob Malinowsky, assistant director for public services at the University's libraries, gave one reason for this lack of acceptance. Le Million He said, though, that computers might eventually become the ultimate microform, containing a complete library that would be available at the press of a button. "It is unlimited what you can automate in a library," he said. "It all depends on how much you want to get away from the aesthetics of curling up in bed with a book." Hawkins said more than a quarter million books and periodicals are stored on microforms in small rooms in the University's libraries. Several computer-based card catalogue systems are already in operation at some places in the country, Malinowsky said. These systems contain a complete list of all cards available on a library. The last appears on a television screen at the press of a button. Monkey Business Gunga Din with Cary Grant and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Sun, Feb. 23—1-30—75c "For example, a scientist often can't afford to spend the time searching for information when a new problem arises while he is in the middle of an experiment," he said. "I don't think my major breakthrough to be able to find some specific bit of information in a hurry." He said complex computer networks countries. These would involve each library by one. Hawkins said she could foresee the day when everyone would have his own portable microform reader at home, much like everyone has a television set today. For that reason, Malinowski said, there would always be books. He said curling up with a piece of microfilm just wasn't the same. -ATTENTION All Seniors and Graduate Students Order Your Graduation Announcements Malinowski said if others developed the system first, then KU's libraries could just plug into them, thereby saving a great deal of money. at the Kansas Union Bookstore She said the University's microforms Wednesday, February 19 Representative will be here February 19 only!
