Director of Libraries Receives Fellowship
Thomas R. Buckman, director of KU libraries, has been awarded a Guggenheim fellowship for the 1964-65 academic year, the foundation announced yesterday in New York.
He will study the organization of the book trade, particularly problems of book distribution in Scandinavia, the Soviet Union and several developing African countries. The basic study will be in Sweden, with shorter comparative work in other areas.
"The problem of effective book distribution which is basic to cultural and educational development is critical in the United States and in many of the emerging nations of Africa, Latin America and the East," Buckman said.
The Western European countries have been especially successful in meeting this problem, and their example may prove relevant elsewhere, he said.
Buckman came to KU from California in 1956 and served as head of the library's acquisitions department until he became associate director of libraries in 1960 and director of libraries in 1961.
He received the B.A. in speech and drama from College of the Pacific in 1947, studied Scandinavian and European literature at the University of Stockholm in Sweden

from 1948-51 and received the M.A. in Scandinavian area studies and the B.S. in library science from the University of Minnesota in 1952 and 1953 respectively.
He has published articles, reviews and translations in a number of scholarly publications and has been secretary-treasurer of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study.

Can you avoid living in "Jamsville"？
It won't be easy. By 1980 most Americans will live in 40 large metropolitan areas—each with more than a million population. To keep your community from becoming a "Jamsville" will take people with ideas — ideas that can help cities move more traffic swiftly, safely and economically.
Some of the ideas come from them and women of General Electric who, in effect, form a "Progress Corps."
In major cities, they're helping to develop balanced transportation built around rapid rail-transit systems . . . and they're providing advanced equipment to power and control the trains. They're also developing a TV monitoring system that enables a single engineer to control miles of auto traffic . . . a jet engine
that speeds commuters in a hydrofoil ship over the waves . . . and another jet engine to lift travelers over traffic via turbocopter at 150 mph.
Traffic is only one of many problems General Electric people are working on. Their numerous projects, in this country and around the world, demand a variety of talents: engineering, finance, marketing, law, physics and many others.
If you'd like to join the "Progress Corps" after graduation, talk to your placement director. He can help qualified young people begin their careers at General Electric.
