Kim Roddis, assistant professor of civil engineering and member of the University Senate Library Committee, said faculty members needed to be aware of the severe cutbacks that the libraries faced. She gave a report yesterday to the University Council about the erosion of the purchasing power of KU libraries.
KU libraries may cut subscriptions by 800 journals because of high cost
Roddis said the weak U.S. dollar made it costly to purchase journals printed abroad. Also, professional societies are turning over publication

David Shulenburger, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, presented the new mail-in fee payment system. Posters detailing how the system will work will be posted on campus next week, Shulenburger said.
■ Frances Ingemann, presiding officer of University Council, said that the Board of Regents would meet at 9 a.m. April 16 at the Summerfield Room in the Adams Alumni Center. The meeting will be open to the public.
In other business brought before the Council;
KU libraries may cancel about 800 scholarly journal subscriptions because of soaring costs.
of their journals to commercial publishers, who increase subscription rates.
In Faculty Council, business included:
Sending back a recommended policy concerning letters to faculty about annual merit raises. The dispute involves whether the letters should include the highest, lowest and average merit raises given in a faculty member's department. Some faculty think doing so would foster discontent among others in the same department. The policy was sent back to the Faculty Executive Committee for further discussion.
Tim Miller, assistant professor of religious studies, asked that faculty support the rights of graduate teaching and research assistants to organize a union. The University Senate Executive Committee will consider the request next week.
