the floor. On this visit, one of many, she was looking for books about newborn babies.
Nine years ago, a fire caused by faulty wiring destroyed the building and 15,000 books, but the Book Barn was rebuilt and restocked with the same optimism as it was in 1969, said Margaret Stevens Baker, one of five volunteers at the Book Barn.
Now the Book Barn faces rising utility posts.
Enter the increase in utility costs, the Northeast Kansas Library System had to make a decision on whether or not we were a service worth keeping." Barker said.
Barker said some international students from KU had said they found treasures at the Book Barn that they'd never find anywhere else.
"It certainly is a treasure hunt," Barker said.
Satellite dish could top Wescoe this spring
By JEANINE HOWE
A satellite dish for Wescow Hall may be installed this spring, after more than two years of delays, the director of language laboratories said Friday.
Staff Reporter
Ermal Garinger, the director, said the $4,000 satellite dish would provide the laboratories with live programming to supplement their collection of video-
The satellite dish will be used primarily by foreign language classes, but programs also use the satellite dish.
The first request for a satellite dish was made by Gingerer in January 1983. The dish was approved by University administration and was delivered in November 1984. Cold
Garinger said he was frustrated by the delays because it took almost two years to get the request approved. Language laboratory requests for courses must first be furnished at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences before being approved by the administration.
weather has prevented its installation since then.
"WE HAVE HAD two graduating classes since we've put in that proposal that didn't have the advantage to what I consider a valuable instruction resource," he said.
On Wescoe's roof, the satellite dish can receive signals from 14 communication satellites above the United States, Canada and Mexico. Garinger said each satellite has up to 24 channels, thus providing up to 336 stations.
"I'm excited for the potential it has as a
teaching tool," Garinger said. "There's a lot we don't need that we will receive, but there is a lot we need that we can receive."
Cheryl Riess, graduate teaching assistant in Spanish, said watching programs filmed in other countries would help students better learn the language of those countries.
ANOTHER GRADUATE teaching assistant in Spanish, Lynne Shapiro, said, "It won't be a substitute to visiting a foreign country where you won't be able to, it will be very enriched."
Lonnie Welsh, assistant director of construction for facilities operations, said crew members will have to cut through the surface of the roof, set reinforcement rods and pour concrete to make a mount for the dish.
Welsh said he hoped the dish could be installed by May.
Before the dish was approved, Garinger
said, University planning officials debated the look of the dish on Wescoe's roof. Garinger said such a cosmetic concern was "ridiculous."
He said the only alternative location ever considered was beside an existing dish used by KANU-FM on the ground west of the main facilities operations buildings on campus. That location had several disadvantages, he said.
First, Garinger said, the potential for vandalism existed if the dish was mounted on the ground. Second, the project would have cost an additional $2,000, because the dish would need 1,500 feet of cable run from Wescow.
Finally, Malott Hall would have blocked signals from one of the most useful satellites that will beam to the dish.

Planning and an active role by our city government could get these jobs. It will mean working together for our common interest
Lawrence is a great place to raise a family, but it would be even better if more of our children could remain here and earn a decent living once they've grown. They can if we bring business and industry here to provide jobs with a future.
My experience in working with diverse community groups has taught me the importance of cooperation and shared goals. Wouldn't you like to see a little more light and a little less heat from your city commission?
