A very effective joint presentation of the above position was made by Marc Gittelsohn of UC Berkeley and Fay Blake of UCLA. The motion was approved without opposition when Loren Owings (UC Davis) called the ques­ tion. It now goes to the CLA Board of Direc­ tors for its approval. University Librarian J. Richard Blanchard (UC Davis) moved that the adopted motion be called to the attention of the Coordinating Council for Higher Edu­ cation, the chief officers of academic institu­ tions in California, and other state committees as appropriate. This, too, was approved without opposition. Obviously, it will take a sustained effort to implement the position. This effort is aided by the similar position adopted by the Academic Senates of the California State Colleges at their October 20 meeting. There is also a similar movement in other parts of the nation supporting this move, as witnessed by City University of New York’s Harold D. Jones in his report of “How the East Was Won.”— Charles Shain. ■ ■ CAN YOU HELP WITH DONATIONS OF BOOKS FOR ASIAN INSTITUTIONS?
