New copyright law might not cut library services
By DAVE ALFORD
Staff Writer
Plans have been made to prevent a new federal copyright law from diminishing the services available to KU students through Watson Library's interlibrary lending service, Marianne Griffen, director of interlibrary lending, said recently.
The new law, which takes effect Jan. 1, will create additional paperwork and a need for more extensive planning by the interlibrary service staff, Griffen said. It will help with the reading and research material available to students and faculty at KU, she said.
'The new law, officially known as Public Law 94-533, restricts the number of copies that can be made annually from periodicals or books. It also makes old. It states that it will be illegal to make more than six copies annually of any magazine or journal that is less than five years old or make more than six copies annually of short excerpts from longer
THE LAW WILL place additional restraints on the amount of copying that can be done by the interlibrary loan department. The library must also require to keep records of all photocopy

Dayan said, however, that slight changes could be made in the working paper, which is under review by the Arab countries. The paper was continually approved the paper last week.
"I think that it is a reasonable working paper, and I don't think we will be able to change what is in this paper," he told fundraisers at a meeting in Jerusalem.
The Israel leader predicted that all the Arab nations except Syria would accept the war.
TELV, AIV, Israel (AP)—Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan said yesterday that the U.S. Israeli working paper for reconvening a Geneva peace conference on the Middle East represented Israel's final negotiating position.

"We're very short of space here and we have up to 7,000 requests annually," she said. "Now we are required to keep records of photocopying requests for five years. We need to keep half loans and half photocopying, that means a lot of additional record keeping."

Triangle fraternity and the Little Sisters of Aresta took second place, with 'Hawk Evans' winning.
The library will be allowed to make copies of unpublished works for the purpose of preservation or security, to copy published works to replace damaged copies and to make copies of out-of-print works that cannot be obtained at fair market prices.
The two-dimensional moving or non-moving parts competition first prize went to Alpha KappaLambda fraternity and Delta Deltadelta sorority for their "Kick'em to the stars"* entry. Second prize was won by Beta Theta Pi fraternity and Delta Gamma sorority for their "Buffaloes Bow to the Stars."

Griffen said about $3,000 had been set aside by the libraries' Collection committee to purchase additional material might be needed to comply with the new law.
"Last month was a busy month. We had about 800 requests for materials." Griffen "About 100 of those requests were on the sheet," he said, "the quickest and cheapest way to fill an order."
Griffen said she eliminated part of the requests she gets for photocopying work by checking to see whether the materials were available in KU's library system.

New York firm offers medical students loans
KU Medical Center students probably will ignore loans available from a New York corporation in favor of lower-priced loans through a Kansas program.
United Student Aid Funds (USAF), a New York-based corporation, recently announced it would make available $7.3 million in loans for medical, dental and osteopathic students during the first half of the 1977-78 school year.
Only one KU medical student has applied for part of the $43,602 available to KU students, Rosetta Tobias, director of Med Center financial aid, last week.
USAF charges 10 per cent interest for its loans. Loans from a nonprofit Kansas corporation, the Higher Education Assistance Foundation, expected to be available in early November, will carry a 7 per cent interest rate.
ROBINS SAID the one advantage of USAF loans was that students who
dropped out of school would not have to repay their loans.
Robins said 99.1 per cent of KU medical students made it through medical school.
USAF stands to lose very little money on loan defaults, she said, because the dropout rate for medical students is comparatively low.
The foundation probably initiated the fund in response to current decreases in the availability of student financial aid, Robins said.
Part of the funding for USAF comes from the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, which long has been associated with philanthropic activities, she said.
Robins said the USAP money probably would be more in demand on the east and west coasts, where medical school tuition generally is higher than in the Midwest.
