Dr. Coles is an authority on the problems of poverty and racial discrimination and
is perhaps best known for his studies of conflicts and anxieties among black A
children in segregated schools, and the effects of integration on them. Children of
Crisis: a Study of Courage and Fear (1967) (Vols II & III of which won a Pulitzer
prize) presents the results of his work on this subject. Among his other works are:
Still Hungry in America (1968); The Middle Americans (1971); A Farewell to the South
(1972) and with Jane Hallowell Coles, Women of Crisis: Lives of Struggle and Hope I
(1978).
The Library Associates is a group of library minded alumni, faculty and friends of
the University. Membership is open to anyone contributing $10.00 or more in funds
or library materials. The group, which has grown to approximately 600 members in
the past three years, helps to develop the UK Library collections and to sponsor
programs. Past speakers at annual meetings have included Elizabeth Hardwick, Cleanth
Brooks and Donald Hall. Members of the Executive Committee who planned this year's
programs are: Mr. Morris Beebe, Dr. Joseph Bryant (President), Mr. Samuel Cassidy,
Mr. Joseph Duncan, Mrs. Joseph Graves, Sr., Mrs. Jerome Hopkins, Mrs. A.D. Kirwan,
Mr. William Marshall, Mr. Burton Milward, Mr. Thomas Parrish (Vice-president), Ms.
Patricia Renfro and Mr. Paul Willis.

The results of this effort are impressive. As of Friday noon, March 2l, l36 assignment
slips were completed. This represents about 5,466 shelves holding 163,980 books; this
is approximately 33% of the entire book collection. However, there are still 56 slips
that need to be completed. I would encourage the completion of these slips within the
next week or so. When the remainder of the slips have been turned in, better than 50%
of the collection will have been shelf read.
If you wish to volunteer see Larry Greenwood. Thanks again.

g FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES, MARCH 5, 1980
g After waiting in vain for delivery of some magazines he subscribes to, a Dearborn,
E Mich., businessman is attempting to force a showdown with the United States Postal
§ Service. He is holding 16 pieces of other people's mail delivered to his home by
  mistake.
A J. Kenneth George said he would surrender the mail if postal authorities produced the
T December and March issues of Playboy magazine that he says should have been delivered
to his post office box. The sore point wasn't just those two issues, he said.
Others that got through were "dog—eared" and showed signs of a good poring-over, he
contended. But when he confronted postal clerks over the matter, he said they told
him, "We don't make mistakes."
Officials have warned Mr. George to hand over the hostage letters or face Federal
charges of obstructing the mail.
SPRING CONFERENCE

l FROM DEPARTMENTS I
Frances Williams reports that Acquisitions department has set up a
coupon exchange within the department. Anyone having coupons they wish
to share should bring them and deposit them in the exchange box in the
Department. Department members then browse through them taking the
coupons they can use. This is working well in Acquisitions and other
departments may want to try this.
Agriculture had a February party in librarian Toni Powell's home
for two departing staff members. Susan Marler, serials technician and a
veteran of some six—and-a-half years' standing, left us in January for a
position with Jerrico, inc. Janice Miller, our interlibrary loan
technician, left in February, after two-and—a—half years, for extended
transcontinental travel. These were wrenching losses. On the positive
side, Virginia Sinai has joined the staff as the circulation/reference
person, and Joyce Gilmore, formerly in that key position, is now in
charge of the serials department. Ag's LSO representative, who finds
that each spring brings new, ever more sobering revelations, welcomes
the latest one, whatever its tidings.
FROM LSO
The first LSO-sponsored function was apparently a success. On
March 18th we sponsored a Newcomers' Reception in the Solarium. Out of
,the 29 invitations issued to new staff members, 6 did not attend. Of
these 6, two are leaving the system, one was ill, and three did not

 respond. The reception coincided with the ACTS Educational Committee's
{ tour. of King Library and the shelf reading. About 100 thirsty, hungry
{ people attended and everyone seemed to mingle. Credit for this
‘ reception goes to Betsy Peters, who arranged the reception, to Barbara
A Randolph and Sandra Muenks, who helped with the serving and the
clean-up, to Terry Warth who helped with the tables, and to Paul Willis,
who paid the bill. We hope to repeat this reception again in the fall.
The LSO is trying to organize a softball team to go against the
powerhouse players of Special Collections. Joyce Welch in Acquisitions
Department has agreed to Captain our team. If you're interested in
playing on this team contact Joyce.
