The personal library of the
late Dr. Newton J. Friedman,
rabbi of Temple Emanuel in
Beaumont, has been donated to
the Lamar library by his family.
Dr. R. Blain Thomas, director
o f library services, announced
that the gift was presented in
memory of Dr. Friedman by Mrs.
Newton J. Friedman and her
sons, Dr. Gary K. Friedman,
San Francisco, Calif.; and Jef-
frey A. Friedman, a student at
Southwest Texas State Univer-
sity.
Dr. Friedman, who was active
in Beaumont community affairs,
had taught government and soc-
iology classes at Lamar Tech,
and at the Lamar Extension Cen-
ter in Orange. Dr. Gary K.
Friedman is a graduate of Lamar
Tech.
He was author of two books,
“The Life of Joseph Nasi,* and
“The History of Mahon, Georgia
Jewry.* Numerous college stu-
dents knew Dr. Friedman, and his
personal library aided many un-

Variance
Is Granted
Olin Corp.
Despite 62 violations of the
Air Control Board's regulation
on sulDhur level in one week.
Oct. 14- Oct 21, 1969, Olin,
Corp., Beaumont, was granted
another variance, Feb. 18.
The ACB meeting in El Paso
refused a further extension of
variance to Jefferson Chemical
Co., which had been operating
under a variance since May 29,
1968. Jeff Chemical announced
no immediate plans for the dis-
posal of their waste problems.
The variance extended to Olin
Corp. will expire Aug. 18, 1970.
At a hearing held in Beaumont
Dec. 12 and conducted by ACB
attorney Dan Burleson, many La-
mar faculty members and stu-
dents appeared to argue against
any further extension of variance
to Olin Corp. Lamar feels it-
self to be one of the chief vic-
tims of Olin waste materials
because of the plants close loc-
ation to the college.
Board member Henry LeBlanc
of Port Arthur received no clear
answer to his query as to why
Olin Corp. required so much time
to deal with its violations of
the board’s regulation.
reference works.
Special titles include Simon
Dubnow’s “History of the Jews in
Russia and Poland from the Earl-
iest Times Until the Present
Day;* Sir James George Frazer’s
“Folklore in the Old Testament;"
Louis Ginzberg’s “The Legends
of the Jews;" Phillip Goodman’s
“The Purim Anthology;" Meyer
Waxman’s “A History of Jewish
Literature;* and Issac M, Wise’s
“Reninis censes.*
Some of the materials are in
Hebrew, but the larger portion
of the estimated 500 volume col-
lection is in English, Dr. Thomas
noted. The volumes will carry
memoral bookplates bearing Dr.
Friedman’s name.
The collection strengthens the
holdings of the Library in rel-
igion and philosophy, and in ad-
dition to answering immediate
student needs, it will provide a
foundation for possible later col-
lege programs in religion and
philosophy, Dr. Thomas added.
The Friedman gift is the fourth
significant collection donated to
Lamar Tech. It ranks with the
Dr. David Worth Roberts col-
lection, added in 1966; the Clin-
ton T. Duff collection, added in
1968; and the Paul H. Cook col-
lection, added in 1969.
Lamar Tech's library is now
nearing the 200,000 volume mark.
In the last six months, 12,000
volumes have been added, Dr.
Thomas said.
