More room needed in Med Center library

Earl Earley, library director, said the library was so near capacity that only one copy of each journal or book could be kept on the shelves.
Clendening Library at the University of Kansas Medical Center is running out of space.
The library's capacity is estimated to be between 120,000 and 125,000 volumes. The library now houses 122,537 volumes and about 100 new acquisitions each year.
"WE HAVE TRIED to use space outside the library, to compact things inside, and have tried to use a different form, such as microfilm." Farly said.
He said the library had two mobile buildings that served as warehouses for some materials, but students must order the materials from these sources 24 hours in advance.
The 24-hour delay is inconvenient for many health professionals who come to the library from out of town.
"It's just not a good arrangement, but there is nothing we can do about it." Farley said. "The only expansion area we had was the reallocatable buildings."
Two years ago the library bought some electric compactor shelves from the
statehouse library in Topeka. The shelves can store twice as many books in the same space as regular shelves, but they cost four times as much.
THEERE ARE NO aisles between the shelves, but they can be moved electrically on tracks in the floor, creating an aisle and access to the books.
"Potentially if we had space what we would be doing is investing that space for gifts that come in and extra copies," Farley said.
He said the library had receded the point of discouraging new material and not taking anything unless there was any immediate use for it.
In addition to having a shortage of space for books and journals, the library also need more space for students. Farley said the library had 219 reading spaces for 2,300 students.
The Kansas Board of Regents requires 30 net assignable square feet of reader space for a number equal to 25 percent of the students, and 75 square feet for a number equal to 10 percent of the faculty. Clearly, we only aboutly allot 33 percent of the required space.
Although the library has received funds to develop plans for a new library, the Kansas Legislature has not appropriated funds for construction of a new library.

KU debate teams are accustomed to meeting teams from the East, such as Georgetown and Harvard, but debating from the Far East was a new experience.
By JEFF KIOUS Staff Reporter
Kawasaki and Takahashi, both college seniors from universities in Tokyo, are on a seven-week tour of the United States that began Feb. 10. The two-woman team was trained at the 20 universitys, including KU. The topic of all 20 ablest has been nuclear power.
Takahashi, 22, said she had not experienced much difficulty with the English language during the debates. She said that
Two members of the KU debating team, Timothy Chung and Mark Houdt, Houston, Texas, freshman, met two college women, Keiko Takahashi and Sushiko Kawanishi, from Japan in a debate.
THE TOUR was sponsored by the Japanese-English Forensic Association, accordiing to Takahara. The United States and Japan visited Japan to Japan in May for a two-month tour.
Japanese debaters at KU
They argued that no nuclear accidents had occurred so far and that radiation poisoning could come from different sources such as TV sets.
THE JAPANESE队 took the negative side of nuclear power was needed because the United States' high demand for energy required a 'mixture of different energy sources'.
In their constructive arguments, Herbel and Gilley said solar energy was safer than a nuclear power plant. They also said that the risks of radiation are beyond bounds of people through radiation poisoning.
The Japanese team will leave tomorrow for a debate with Colorado State University. Then the two will travel to California for debates with California State-Northridge University Poly-Pomona. After their visit to California the two women will return to Japan.
The KU team took the affirmative position and supported the propositions that solar energy be used, that current energy sources are used and that nuclear power be phased out.
English was a compulsory subject in Japan and that she had spoken it since she was 10
