University Daily Kansan, June 22, 1983 Page 3 Regents OK projected plans for libraries By MICHAEL PAUL Staff Reporter Hopes of KU librarians were raised Friday when the Board of Regents approved recommendations of $255,000 for preliminary planning of a new science library and $220,000 for acquisitions for the Watson and law libraries. Although the Legislature's approval of these requests is uncertain, KU librarians are certain of the need for additional library space and acquisi- JIM RANZ, dean of libraries, said yesterday that a study completed in 1975 by a University committee of need leaders indicated a need for a science library. The reasons a new library is needed were the same then as they are now, he said, but the passage of time has made the need greater. Leonard Richardson, science librarian, said that the current science library on the sixth floor of Malott Hall needed more space. "What frightens us the most is that probably in two or three years we'll be able to fly." She said that overcrowding would necessitate a rearrangement of the stacks which, in turn, would make the library more difficult to use. But space is needed for more than books. "WE NEED MORE reader stations for the undergraduates and the graduating students." In fact, all of the University's libraries need more reader stations, Ranz said. The libraries on campus now have seating for 2,000 students, Ranz said, but national standards suggest that the library has seated for twice as many students. The new library would not only alleviate overcrowding, he said, but would also provide room for the engineering, business and pharmacy libraries, and some of the social science and other departmental libraries. Because the proposed library would contain so many different libraries, Ranz said, it would be built near the Military Science Building, a location close to the schools whose libraries will be in the building. The library would cost $24 million. THE OTHER RECOMMENDATION The Regents approved included $10,000 for acquisitions at -Watson Library and $40,000 for acquisitions at the law Library. Clinton Howard, in charge of acquisitions for Watson, said that inflation had reduced the number of books and periodicals that the library would like "There has been an increase in the book budget each year," he said. "But the problem is that in most years it's not sufficient to meet the rate of inflation." Howard said that the $180,000 the Regents approved was about 9 percent more than the amount in the base budget. He said that since the funds will not be applicable until fiscal 1858 it was difficult to determine whether they Inflation has also affected acquisitions by the law library. PETER SCHANCK, law library director and professor of law, said that a law library needed to have current publications. "Lawyers can't act on last year's law," he said. Because of that need, he said, the library budgets 80 to 85 percent of its funds for subscriptions to periodicals, serials and loose-leaf services. He said that whenever acquisition funds were inadequate, the library had to cancel some subscriptions. Schanck said that the $40,000 the Regents approved for the law Library was about 16 percent more than the 184 base budget. He said that he was pleased with the increase and that the funds probably would allow the library to meet any of our needs. "The library to increase its collections. BUT IT IS not only inflation that is making acquisitions difficult. Ranz said that the acquistions fund should be increased for two other reasons. He said that there had been an increase in the number of scholarly books that had been published. And he said that as the programs offered by the University became more complex, more recursive, about these programs were needed. Ranz said that because the library had been unable to adequately increase its collections, many students have had to use the interlibrary loan service. Last year KU ranked fourth nationally in a study on requesting materials from other libraries. He said students made 15,20 requests last year, strong evidence that the libraries were not meeting the needs of the students. KU public safety director to take job in Arizona After 18 years of service at the University of Kansas, John M. Thomas, director of public safety, is resigning. A similar job at the University of Arizona. In 1876 Thomas received the additional responsibility of overseeing police and parking services at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. crime_prevention_programs_had_expanded Thomas said he regretted leaving his staff in the public safety department. Thomas, 39, said he was leaving because of an opportunity for career advancement, a higher salary and the location of his future employer. For the past 13 years, Thomas, as director of public safety, has supervised the expansion of campus police and parking services on the Lawrence campus. Thomas, his wife, Roberta, and daughter, Kristine, will leave Lawrence this summer for Tuscan, Ariz., where Thomas will head the 60-member University of Arizona police department. Thomas said that one of the most significant events during his years as director of public safety was last year's enactment of a state law that defined and expanded the authority of police agencies at Board of Regents schools. authority to county or city police when crimes cross boundary lines," he said. "We can now follow leads off campus, if the crime originated at the University," Thomas said, "and we have also established concurrent patrols with the Lawrence Police Department." "There are a lot of good people in the department," he said, "but I can't pass up this chance." He said that during that time the training of campus police had improved and bicycle theft and other Judge voids '82 law that links draft, aid THE RULING REQUIRES student aid administrators to remove the question about whether the student has registered from financial aid applications by June 30. They must also inform students who have not registered in these forms that they do not have to answer the question. By MARY ANN COSTELLO Staff Reporter "Our jurisdiction has been expanded so that we no longer have to defer The injunction prohibits the defendants — the Selective Service System and the U.S. Department of Education — from enforcing the federal law in any U.S. district until their resume is resolved in Alsop's district. Last Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Donald Alsop placed a permanent injunction on a 1982 federal law that linked draft registration to eligibility for federal student aid. Glen Ford, a spokesman for the Selective Service regional headquarters in Great Lakes, III., said the Selective Service would seek a stay on judge Alsop's decision and appeal it to the U.S. Supreme Court. Students who apply for federal financial aid this year are not required to indicate whether they have registered for the draft, a waiver or other benefit. If the court grants the stay, students may have to answer the draft question until the issue is resolved. Alsop ordered the injunction in two separate Minnesota court cases A TEMPORARY INJUNCTION was placed on the law last year in a case brought by the Minnesota Civil Justice Court to stop a public Interest Research Group. brought against the Selective Service System and the Education Department. He said that last year he received a letter from the Department of Education after the temporary injunction became effective. Jerry Rogers, KU director of financial aid, said Monday that he was not aware that the injunction had been made permanent. He ruled that the law was unconstitutional because it was a bill of attainer, defined as any legislation that declares a certain group of people guilty without benefit of a trial. Rogers said the letter suggested that students should voluntarily answer the question so that processing of loans would not be delayed in case the temporary injunction was lifted. Allop said it also violated the Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination. He said that on all the applications he had seen the draft question had been answered. ROGERS SAID THAT he recently received about 25,000 blank application forms with the draft question printed on them. To conform with the recent ruling, Rogers said, the financial aid office probably will cross out the draft question.
