Union reports, honors Balfour

The Kansas Union governing body reviewed committee reports at a meeting Saturday, and concluded the meeting with a tribute to William Balfour, its president.
BALFOUR HAS BEEN president of the Memorial Corporation Board since January.
After all regularly scheduled business had been completed, Greg Bengston, SUA president for 1975-76, read a statement on behalf of the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation Board of Directors honoring Balfour, who said Friday that he would resign as vice chancellor for student affairs.
The board is the governing body for all programs and services offered by the Union. It includes students, administrators, Union staff, faculty and alumni.
The board's four standing committees reported Saturday.
Praising Balfour's dedication to the University, Bengston expressed the board's appreciation of his ability to "affect the people in such a genuine and sincere manner."
The Fiscal and Financial Affairs Committee reported that food service, recreation, concessions and bookstore sales had increased during the past year.
Total sales volume has increased 16 per cent over last year's sales.
Craig McCoy, Memorial Corporation treasurer, supported SUA for its "efficient, responsible' budgeting and significant improvement in accounting practices
Libraries resist anti-copying bill
If a copyright bill being discussed in Washington becomes law, it could hinder the development of the University of Kansas library system, says Robert Malinowsky, assistant library director for reader services.
Malinowski was quoting from a speech he will give at the University of Western Michigan tomorrow about the past and future of science libraries.
He said the bill would forbid photocopying of any copyrighted material.
The American Library Association is lobbying against it.
The bill would hurt the libraries, Malinowsky said, because they now photocopy many journal articles so that individual departments can have copies.
By buying only one copy of each book or journal, and shelving it in a centralized building, KU libraries can save money, he said.
"THE COPYRIGHT law could throw a monkey wrench in all this," he said.
Malinowinkly outlined the history of special libraries, which he said were seen at first as paperbacks.
"Every department felt the had to have their own library," he said, and "it had to be done."
He said special libraries worked well as subjects were divided into strict categories.
In the 1950s, however, research became interdisciplinary, he said, so that a person writing a thesis in chemistry, for example, might want to cover areas such as biology or math, and someone studying the new field of ecology might cover several fields.
It became too costly for specialized libraries to buy copies of books that were available elsewhere on campus, he said, and they were amplified by the "paper explosion" of the 1960s.
"THE NUMBER of journals being published got out of hand," Mallowsky said, "and everyone thought we had to subscribe to them all."
Centralization of the KU library system would be relatively simple, he said. A new university library would house collections including science, technology and music materials, and it will be built near the faculties it will serve, on campus, beside the military science building.
Malinowski's speech is part of the Alberta L. Brown lecture program at the University of Western Michigan. Four universities are here and in various fields of special library scholarship.
He was chosen to speak because he is on the board of directors of the Special Lunar Council.
What college women are being pinned with.
As a woman ROTC student, you'll compete for your commission on the same footing as the men in your class.
There are 2 years, 3 years, and 4 years. All of them are available. A young woman, an adult woman, or a child who is grown up, is also qualified to graduate from his scholarship, which will cover the cost of tuition as a caseant. Tuition is covered by a reimbursement plus $10 a month for reimbursed fees.
A women's place is definitely in the Air Force and our pinning ceremony will be the highlight of her college experience.

The Personnel Policies and Practices Committee has been working on updating and clarifying existing guidelines for Union staff and rewiring the employee handbook, Jess Santaularia, committee chairman, said.
The committee plans to revise and condense the employee handbook and to write a smaller handbook for temporary employees. Santaluaria said this would reduce printing expenses for the University and increase the handbook's readability for employees.
BOB GRANT, chairman of the Merchandising Policies and Practices Committee, recommended that a survey be carried out to determine the service to develop unused profit potential.
But Warner Ferguson, Union associate director for financial affairs, said many food service improvements would begin this summer, and suggested the committee wait and examine the effects of such improvements before beginning a survey.
Jan Corbett, chairman of the Program Concept and Building Use Committee, said her committee was evaluating the Union's policies for allocating office space to organizations. She said several student offices would be relocated during the summer.
"There is a continuous demand for office space by student groups and it is a difficult task to pass judgements on these requests," Corbett said.
ROSALEA POSTMA, SUA president for 1976-77, presented SUA's proposed $22,419 operating budget for next year and it was approved by the board.
The board also accepted a resolution from Ed Rolfs, Student Senate Satellite Union Task Force chairman, that "the surplus funds in the Union addition and annexation bond accounts, amounting to three-quarters of one million dollars, be used for construction of the satellite union facility expansion of the main Union facility."
Frank Burge, Union director, reported on the progress of the renovation of the Union exterior canopy and main lobby. He said the work was completed in 2015 and space and make the Union more functional.
Regarding the progress of the satellite units, Burge said the task of matching space and service needs with the mission presented a difficult and complex problem.
"THEERE WILL be minimum interruption of the efficient use of the building during renovation," he said.
He recommended that University administrators authorize Union management to spend some of its internal funds to hire a new team of engineers. The satellite union as it is now designed.
