DEADLINE FOR ARTICLES APPEARING IN NEXT WEEK'S STAFF BULLETIN IS FRIDAY NOON . -· - 4 ­ ~ .. USES OF XEROX MACHINE CLARIFIED ... , : .~ . Constant use of the Xerox 2400 copying machine located in the General Of~ice has prompted clarification of the most efficient and economical uses of the machine by College Business Manager Donald S. Nelson. He pointed out that when 50 or more copies of an original are needed it is more economical to utilize offset printing available in the Duplicating Room (Room 109, Administration Building). If, on the . other hand, . the copies are needed immedi~tely, use of the Xer~x machine wo~ld be more efficient. · After commenting that the best interests of the college are served by utilizing avai1 able equipment to the greatest advantage while economizing when possible, Nelson also called attention to potential violations of federal copyright laws. "It is an in­ fringement of a copyright for anyone, without the permission of the 'copyright owner, to reproduce copyrighted material for distribution to anyone, regardless of whether the material reporduced is sold or distributed free," he said. Attention has been called recently by the United States Treasury Department to the severe penalties (felony) which are fixed by federal statutes for copying, printing, or photographing, without legal authority, documents relating to the Nationality Code. Instances in which state employees, without criminal intent and not realizing the seriousness of such an act, have, as an accommodation, made photographs, photo­ stats, or copies of naturalization and citizenship papers have been reported. SALE OF SPRING QUARTER PARKING PERMITS BEGINS Parking permits for the Spring Quarter are now available and may be purchased from the State Cashier located in the foyer on the lower level of the Administration Building.
