Money for Regents libraries sought in proposed $11 million state plan
By Staff and Wire Reports
The seven Board of Regents schools would receive about $1 million a year for five years through a proposed $11 million state library improvement plan announced Wednesday by the state librarian.
The librarian, Duane Johnson, said that the state library would seek money for the improvement program in the fiscal 1985 budget.
The Lawrence Public Library would
receive about $50,000 a year under the same plan. Johnson said
Johnson said that interlibrary requests showed deficiencies in collections within the state and that in 1982, only about 77,000, or 60.4 percent, of 128,000 interlibrary requests were filled around the state.
"This condition could have a negative effect on the state's educational system, the research capability of higher education and industry, the development and support of human services and job training," Johnson said.
Jim Ranz, KU director of libraries,
said "Weavenn't really decided what to do with our share of the money.
Probably, we will strengthen our periodicals collection. The schools still have to decide how to divide it."
Johnson said that a rough estimate of KU's share of the money would be about $250,000 annually.
Wayne Mayo, head librarian for the Lawrence Public Library, said that the money would probably be used to improve the number of books in the library's interlibrary loan system.

EPA expands toxic waste list
WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency, in an effort to restore credibility to the Superfund cleanup law, announced yesterday that it would add 139 toxic waste dumps to the list of sites awaiting action under the $1.6 billion program.
But a top EPA official, Lee Thomas, warned that there was no fast solution to the nation's enormous problem of hazardous chemical contamination.
original waste-dump list unveiled last December, the EPA said the number of sites now slated for rehabilitation under Superfund totaled 546.
After making adjustments in its
"This does not mean that builderozs will be pulling up at the new sites tomorrow to implement complete construction of a new administrator for solid waste.
He said, however, that the EPA had authority to take immediate action to prevent conditions at individual dumps from deteriorating. The agency also authorized 189 such actions, 59 of which are at sites named on the Superfund list
"Clearly, the irresponsible abandonment of hazardous wastes in years past has proven to be one of the costliest disposal practices ever. It also impacts environmental impact on public health and environmental degradation." Thomas said.
REP. ELIOTT Levitas, whose work subcommittee is investigating Superfund, said Congress would have to rewrite the 1980 hazardous waste laws to provide for an expanded toxic cleanup program
'EPA officials have testified that there are not enough dollars in the fund to clean up the 406 sites in the first list

ONLY RED HERRINGS EMERGE FROM NCAA CONFAB
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is the organization which supervises the activities of amateur athletes in college and university sports. As the dictionary describes an amateur as "one that engages in a particular pursuit...for pleasure rather than for financial gain," it is impossible to consider the two-day NCAA Division I meeting at the Hyatt Regency Hotel of more than 150 conference commissioners, athletic directors, faculty representatives and football and basketball coaches as either concerned with or made up of amateurs. Why? Because these NCAA potentates whined and whined and whined ...about money.
Although NCAA rules don't permit any type of payment to so-called student-athletes, Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight, whose unrestrained style is a matter of record, characteristically suggested giving each basketball player $50 a month for the nine academic months. Although Mr. Knight estimates "It would cost a little less than $2 million to finance all Division I basketball schools that way" he feels that this — dare I say it — salary would "relieve the financial pressures on the athletes." Despite his concern about "the financial pressures" "student athletes are now forced to endure. Mr. Winkler managed to note 75 percent of the coaches at a rent-well-attended college athletic Association of basketball Coaches supported the expansion of the NCAA Division I basketball tournament from 52 to 64 teams without even mentioning the additional student-athletes to whom this move would presumably bring suffering.
Because some college athletes are hounded by agents desiring to represent them in their dickering with the professionals, Michigan's Bo Schembechler, who chaired the football coaches meeting, suggested finding "some way that a student-athlete could make a decision on turning pro without jeopardizing his (amateur) career." (Although a student-athlete can hire an agent or lawyer to listen to offers by professional teams, that student-athlete would lose his college eligibility if his lawyer-agent were to solicit offers.)
David Maggard, University of California athletic director and chairman of the athletic directors meeting, was more explicit than Mr. Schembecher when be admitted that because "the athletics in some cases are not very well prepared to deal with player-agents." We should think that would allow the student-athlete to seek legal counsel at his own institution at no charge. ("Who, do you suppose, would foot the bill?")
Perhaps the well-fed wailters of the NCAA were overly grasping this year because the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals voided $281.1 million worth of their television contracts by upholding its earlier ruling that the NCAA's college football television plan violated the league's rules for players to amateur a mechanism which contracts with a letter-of-intent, boosts eligibility and athletic scholarship, and succeeds only at the gate, the NCAA long ago established a behavior pattern of which this violation of the Sherman Act was just another expression.
