Private money pays for copiers
By BRUCE HONOMICHL
Staff Reporter
The KU library system increased the number of coin-operated copies in Watson Library this semester, but in doing so had to sidetep a more expensive contract the state had signed and turn to private funds.
Rather than leasing copiers through the state contract, the library system used money from the KU Endowment Association to buy three more copiers for Watson.
"The money to lease the copiers, $14,600, would have to have come from revenues generated by the copiers." An assistant to the dean of libraries, said Sally.
and that meant that copying charges would have had to rise, she said.
"Had we taken the contract copiers — and we need more coin-operated copiers — it would have been at a much higher cost than for acquiring the business cost we did get," Shawbaker said. "But 'the next time the funds aren't available, available as they were this time?' We would have to go with whatever Topeka says. If the copiers are more expensive, we'll still have to go with them."
ON JULY 1, a new state contract went into effect requiring state agencies using coin-operated copiers to replace rented copiers with copiers the state had contracted for, Shawbaker said.
A letter this week from Shawbaker to State Librarian Duane Johnson said, "The denial of these requests would have resulted in a total additional cost of $180,000 per copy." We not taken steps to purchase these copiers through private resources.
"We essentially had two choices; lease the contract machine at a much higher cost or buy the IBM copiers and sourcing sources. We, of course, chose the latter."
THE LIBRARY SYSTEM spent $9,300 picking up the purchase options. Along with the three copiers in Watson, the copier that was in the Science Library in Mallott Hall was purchased, and a rented copier in the Engineering Library was bought and moved to Spencer Research Library.
Two copiers in the Law Library, in Green Hall, and a copier at the Johnsor
County Regents Center were to be moved to Watson. The Regents Center and the Engineering Library now have leased Pitney-Bowes copiers, Shawbaker said.
THE LAW LIBRARY, which is administered by the School of Law and is not part of the KU library system, decided to follow the state contract and leased two Pitney-Bowes copiers, Shawkaker said.
"With no copiers, students are more likely to begin tearing pages out of books," she said. "That's what happened before copiers came along."
Also, the state plan has forced the University of Kansas Medical Center to rent three Pitney-Bowes copies that at base rate cost $86 more a month than the copiers the Med Center was renting.
A spokesman in library director's office at the Med Center said yesterday that the base rate for each coin operated Pitney-Bowes copier now costs $138. The Center is $123 a month. The IBM copiers that had been used cost $237 a month.
However, the IBM only allowed the library to make 5,000 copies per month at no cost, while the Pitney-Bowes said 15,000 copies, a spokesman said.
WASHINGTON — The AFL-CIO named five corporations yesterday to a "dishonor roll" of the most antinion companies — Litton Industries, Procter & Gamble, Fabereg, Indiana Desk Co. and Capital Cities Communications, parent company of the Kansas City Star.
By United Press International
Howard Samuel, head of the AFLCIO Industrial Union Department that issued the list, said at a news conference that he would press a media campaign against the five and seek congressional passage of legislation to prohibit major labor law violators from obtaining government contracts.
"The stridently anti-worker activities of these companies are not serving the cause of good labor unions," Samuel said in a statement.
Union names five to 'dishonor roll'
LITTON INDUSTRIES RECEIVED the brunt of the attack. It has engaged in union-busting campaigns that " routinely include interrogating, threatening, spying on, harassing, suspending and firing union activists," the department said.
"I think they've captured the championship from J.P. Stevens." Samuel said, in reference to the textile firm long the main target of union wrath. Stevens was not included on the list.
Samuel said J.P. Stevens was no longer carrying on the kind of campaign that it used to have and had signed a contract with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers union covering several thousand workers.
Litton spokesman Ray Noble said of the "dishonor roll" designation. "We don't feel good about it, of course."
“Our attitude is not one of union-busting. It is one of economics,” he said. “If we shut down and move in, it would due to union busting or labor strife.
Spokesmen for Procter & Gamble and Capital Cities Communications.
THE DEPARTMENT CITED an "anti-labor history" of Capital Cities Communications at several of its newspapers, including the Kansas City Star; Fort Worth, Texas, Star; New York, New York; Times-Leader; Oakland Press; Pontiac, Mich.; and Belleville, Ill., News-Democrat.
"They would like to leave the impression with the American people.
Procter & Gamble was cited for the failure of its Soap Division to reach agreement on a contract with the United Steelworkers union, even though the company as the bargaining agent for 400 workers at a Kansas City, Kan., plant.
impression with the American people .. that they are 99.44 pure and clean, like Ivory soap," said Steelworkers official Buddy Davis. "However, their industrial relations policy is a law-busting policy."
Faberge was attacked for closing plants beginning in 1965 in St. Paul, Minn., and Ridgefield, N.J., and moving operations to Racofield, N.C. In the attempt to rid itself of the (Oil) Chemical and Atomic Workers) union."
