Heron said the University will need a new library in the next decade. He said Watson Library built in 1928, has had three additions since then, and that "it is not an ideally designed building."
"Statistically, it's rather short of seating space," Heron said. "We should be able to seat 4,300 in the entire library system. We have seated for 2,500. This is somewhat more accurate than there are often too many times when this building (Watson) is terribly overcrowded."
Another problem the library has is a shortage of personnel.
"This year the work load is going to increase," Heron said, "and there will be fewer, rather than more, people working here." The library also has a briefing problem. There are currently about 250,000 books in Wilson which are only briefed and not fully catalogued. To the user of the card catalogue, briefed books are not as useful.
Heron said the library needs more employees to speed up the briefing work.
"I Increasing doctoral programs also mean greatly increased burdens on the library."
Between 1969 and 1970, the number of masters degrees awarded at KU has increased 182.2 per cent, the number of doctoral degrees at KU has increased 36.4 per cent, and the library budget has increased 12.5 per cent.
The root of the libraries' troubles is the refusal of the Board of Regents and the state legislature to allot more money for books, library operation and expansion of facilities. In 1964-69, the total expenditure of the library was $2,143,586. In 1960-70, the total was $1,299,221. Heron said expenditures for 1970-71 would probably drop below $2,000,000.
Heron said the administration has been advocating a new system of budgeting, called formula budgeting, used widely by other institutions of higher education. He said that the library submitted a formulated budget two years ago, (1984-90) in which it requested $250 million. This budget was turned down by the board of Regents (it never made it to the legislature).
The annual report for 1968-70 summarized the success of the formula budgeting technique for that year: "It went down in flames with the rest of the squad, but some day when the weather improves it should fly better than the old magic carpet."
With a shortage of employees and operating funds, another economy instituted by the bank is underway.
"This is a problem this summer," Heron
and "I work with work during the week can'
be done."
Heron said that the library would be closed on Friday evenings during the coming school year, and that the library would be forced to curtail its hours of service a total of five to ten per cent during the year. He added that the state schools were having the same problems.
The University of Kansas library system is not facing an immediate crisis. Libraries at KU will continue to operate. But they will be overcrowded, understaffed, and the quantity and quality of resource materials will continue to decrease in future years unless the university more financial aid from the Board of Regents and, ultimately, the state legislature.

Kissinger Reveals Details of Trip
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Henry Kissinger's trip to China was so secret that even one of the two Secret Service agents who went with him didn't know the destination.
Kissinger revealed that and other details of our Peking trip during a tainship at Sunday air Force One as President Nixon and his party returned from California. Nixon called on congressional leaders of both parties and congressional discussions of his uncommon China tour.
On arrival in Peking the Chinese kept their promise of strict secrecy, even to the point of whisking him away from the airport in a large plane and rear windows hidden by thick silk curtains.
who has been active in civil rights and political campaigns for several years, had never discussed the ACLU post with Cardinal John Cody or church authorities.
Kissinger declined to discuss what type of aircraft was used on his clandestine trip, or even what route he traveled. But he said one of the two Secret Service agents with him was kept in the dark—until he spotted a Chinese aircraft, presumably on the flight into China.
The agent, Kissinger added, nearly dropped his teeth.
Once he began his 20 hours of talks with Premier Chou En-lai, he said, the Chinese leader proved to be better informed about some Nixon's more recent statements than he was. He said Chou immediately started peppers him with intelligent questions about an off-the-cuff briefing Nixon held on newsmen in Kansas City July 6.

He also brought back memories—as the S. tatle team training team before him—of a great time.
Kissamer tell he has no illusions about an immediate friendship forming between Nixon and Chou; but he said there seems to be mutual respect already.
The following morning Chou sent him a copy of Nixon's remarks, in English, with his personal notations on the margin and a note reading "please return, our only copy."
Kissinger said he had to admit he had been traveling and was out of touch, save for press reports.
Although no date for Nixon's visit has been announced, Kissinger said diplomatic negotiations were underway to make sure the groundwork will be well laid. White House officials said Nixon will probably go late this year or early in 1972.
Docking Fights AEC
TOPEAKA (UPI) - Gov. Robert B. Decking Monday made a last ditch effort to halt the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) funding for the nuclear wash dump near Lyons.
"I do not believe the AEC has made every effort to determine the safety of the Lyons project. Many of our state's prominent scientists, knowledgeable in the technical complexities and potential dangers of storing radioactive wastes, have joined me with me in conducting a laboratory test to determine the safety of the Lyons project before proceeding with site acquisition and construction." Docking said in the letter.
The governor's office released the text of a letter sent by the Kansas governor to all 100 members of the U.S. Senate. The Senate will consider the request today.
The governor said the AEC "for the most part has ignored our concerns" and gave a verdict.
Docking asked the Congress approve AEC funds for research on the project, but defer the requests for funds to acquire land and fund a project until all safety tests are completed.
The AEC wants to take over an abandoned salt mine near Lyons in central Kansas for the nuclear waste dump. Radioactive waste would be delivered by a national nation would be deposited at the facility.
Spencer Closed This Week
Spencer library has been closed due to a 12,500 volt cable broken by a construction worker at the site of Wesco Hall Tuesday, July 13.
There has been a generator installed to keep the library at a cool temperature. It is not known how well the generator will provide the library until the cable is repaired.
Spencer contains many old documents, manuscripts and rare books which might be destroyed if not kept in a controlled atmosphere. There are no lights in the library.
The closing of the library has caused an inconvenience for approximately 40 students and 45 faculty members who are using the library this summer. Three of these have been provided with space near a window in the library to continue their studies. Two are doctoral candidates and the third is a faculty member.
Most of the staff employed at Spencer library have been transferred to Watson Lane Library.
The Cason Construction Co. and the cable would probably be repaired by the end of this
