Computer Classifies Volumes By JANE STOWE Staff Writer Computerized system is the key phrase in reclassifying volumes in McKissick and other University libraries. According to K. G. Walter, as sistant director of TEC services in the library system, reclassifica tion to the Library of Congress system should begin on a large scale soon. The Library of Congress sys tem of classification eliminates much confusion and time wasted by use of the Dewey Decimal sys tem. Library of Congress vol umes were introduced at the regional campuses on Jan. 1, 1968, and four months later on the main campus. To date, only 1,811 volumes from a total of 26,272 in McKis sick have been converted to Li brary of Congress catalogue call numbers. Walter said the delay is due to waiting for the computer ized system of reclassification to be fully developed. This process should be completed within a year. The computer is expected to save half the time necessary for re classification. Walter said that wi'h the com puter the rate of production of Library of Congress catalogue cards for all 12 libraries will in crease by as much as four times the present rate.

Holland's address to the USC chapter of the Young Amer icans for Freedom Feb. 25. Holland, who is an associate di. rector and professor of the Inter Spies Noi Carolina At this very moment, interna tional agents are scouring the USC campus for secret codes, plans and, at times, just another agent. This top secret information was divulged by Dr. Paul W. Black. stock, professor of the Interna. tional Studies Department, in a talk to the International Relations Club Feb. 27. What's this spy business all about? It all involves a new course, taught by Blackstock, that attempts to give students an insight into the fascinating field of intelligence. According to Blackstock, the new course "op erates on the assumption that people (taking the course) have reached the ability to carry on in dependent research." For their first assignment, stu dents are asked to break a mono alphabetic cipher. They then have to look for their code names as they appear in The Gamecock per Language B For Childre By CHUCK KEEFER Staff Writer Rasheed, Aiska, and Niana are children with a definite problem; they speak French. This isn't so much of a problem in itself. Their problem is the fact that they are living with their grandmother who speaks only English. The children, three to five years cld, have been in Columbia since the end of November. BIRD SPECIAL IETTI Salad rea Butter ATURDAY 5-8 P.M. Invited Too! COLUMBIA, S.

"It is absolutely astonishing how easily data will show up once periodicity is established," Con mented Iflackstock, but he warno., that once an agent is captured he must "subject himself to the usual rubber hose treatment." This one course does not pro. vide enough training to become an immediate success in the spy world. Bflackstock said many world leaders who got their start as agents received training as Jesuits.

NATO has served as the foun dation for the unification of Europe itself, its alliance with the United States, and has provided the reawakening of hope so neces sary after Worli War 11. Holland said, contrary to De Gaulle's belief that alliances are a thing of the past, they have never been more necessary. "The world has grown too dangerous with nu elear weapons and too small with conmun wat ions." Commenting that "Gen. De. Gaulle would fit perfectly into Loui5 XIV's court," H o 1 1 a n d stated that DeGaulle "can't look beyond the immediate require ments f France. He must look bievond these requirements if he wants to be a nodern-day states man." Through his attacks on NATO, 1)>-Gaulle has halted the unifica tion of Euro,pe. Holland declared that this was only temporary. The Czechoslovak ian crisis has rea%%akened the United States to the- threat of Russia, a threat that makes unification e v e n more nevtessary. Should Russia ever dominate Europe, Holland said, their combined output would give ,he Soviet Union an economic pre ponderance over the U n i t e d States. How long will NATO last? Hol land said the Unite(d States is in Europe now because of the un settleid Germnan problems. "Until Gsrmany Is reunited. American presence in Europe is essential." Problem idmother informed of the situation through the United Fund. She got in touch with D>r. Speers in the department o)f foreign languagvs and made a request for French speaking stu dents who would be willing to help. An announcement was made in the Frvnch classes calling for vlunteers. So far, eight students have responded. The Volunteers spend an hour a week trying to teach the children basic English. They have also supplied the grandmother with a bo,k if basic French and a list of translations for frequently used saings. If any French speaking stu-. dients are interested in helping with the children, contact Mrs. Kay ilirkeli at 777-4813. r Men's ERN BOOTS SRiders ;Iers ything EVY'S ?
