Trees to Be Memorial To Students Slain Here
DilZeera said that because the planting of the trees would probably not be possible until the committee is formed, the selection of the committee.
The bill calls for a Senate-appointed committee of five members to negotiate with the Department of Buildings and Grounds to determine the order, type and setting of the trees.
The bill would continue a program of tree planting started in 1970 when four trees were planted on the KT campus in the fall to guard students killed by the National Guard at Kent State University.
The four trees were planted near the northwest corner of parking lot "X".
DIZEREGA'S BILL also called for plaques identifying the trees to be placed with the trees.
The cost of the project was no to exceed $400. The funds wil

Bill O'Neill, Ballwin, Mo., senior and Student Senate treasurer, agreed with Dilereza that the planting should continue. The students should be planted particularly in memory of the students killed in
Lawrence in 1970. He said that if a memorial was established to the Kent State students, one could also be established local students.
Two students were killed by Lawrence police in connection with a Donald J. Dickwell, a black freshman, was killed in a fire law enforcement on the day of July 11.
Harry "Nick" Rice, a white freshman, was killed in the 1200 block of Oread Street July 20, when police dispersed a crowd.
Dilereza said the committee to organize the planting would probably be chosen by the Student Executive Council.

Watson Shows Age with Leaks, Erratic Elevator, Lack of Space
By JEANNETTE HARTMAN Kansan Staff Writer
1865, when the University of Kansas library was first formed, it was a library without books, staff or space. Today a hole in the roof, an erratic elevator and a bookcase, 48-year-old Watson Library.
Strolling through Watson Library, one finds several signs of middle age. In the 8th floor, there are shelves covered with newspapers and plastic. One of the two nearby explanatory signs shows that many shelves have been damaged due to a water leak. For assistance in locating a book missing from this range of shelves, please come to the library.
DAVID W. HERON, director of libraries, said the leak had sprung during the last rain season. The books were damaged. A dozen books were ruined. The cost of those books was $3,000.
This is the only elevator that can be used to deliver books to the west stacks on the first and second floors.
Of the two elevators in Watson, one is 48 years old and the other is eight years old. The newer, hydraulic elevator now wears an unattributed sign saying, "This is not erratic but not dangerous."
Chris Macey, Lawrence sophomore, who reportedly was in the elevator at the time it slipped, refused to comment.
HARVEN JOHNSON, received a report said Tuesday, that she had received a report that the newer car had slipped several moves on Sent.
A tallly表 at the circulation area of a large elevator showed that Tuesday four people complained of it; another plained by mid-afternoon. The sheet records only the number of complaints, not the nature of the complaint.
Three student assistants at Watson said that although none of the students had reported when it had slipped, they had heard reports that it happened at Watson.
One student assistant said that one patron had complained to him that the elevator had slipped down. He reached the eight floor he reached the eighth floor.
Heron said, "I suspect some of the animals did aiding in wild stories which someone has overheard. One elevator has a wobble which is hard to see."
HOLLY D. MILEY, supervisor of utilities for Buildings and Grounds, said that the maintenance contractor had worked on one elevator but that he did not see the specific nature of the work.
"I know it is in working condition," Miley said.
Because all elevators have professors, professor of architecture urban development, said that he hadn't heard of an elevator.
He said that a hydraulic elevator has a safety device that acts to slow the elevator down as it exceeds a certain speed.
Hydraulic elevators are moved by pressurized fluid which occupies an area at least as long as a hydraulic cylinder. Morley said that if a hydraulic elevator failed totally, this lift would have to be ejected suddenly. He said that the chances of failure were not totally falling were remote.
SPACE IS another problem for Watson. According to Heron, there is space for two to five laptops, but they are necessarily all in Watson. Spencer Research Library, for example, has as space available, he said.
To overcome a lack of shelf space in Watson, Heron said, there are no shelves or cases sacrificed. According to the American Libraries Association, there should be readers stations in the library for people to body. This means that ideally there should be 4,500 seatable books, although seats, although departmental libraries add somewhat to the need of the library system, Heron said.
Last year 66,000 books were acquired. This figure varies from year to year. Heron said, for example, in 1986-1989 89,000 books were added.
“INFLATION has cut into the purchasing power of the library.” Heron said, “but at the same time circulation has increased.”
Thirteen intersections in acreage covered by the city's multitude of improvements, according to a consultant's report received by the City Commission.
In 1970-1971, the number of books borrowed went up 10 per cent. In 1971-1972 the number of books borrowed increased 15 per cent.
"This is the largest percentage increase we've ever had," Heron said. "It puts more of a strain on space; the service is less efficient and it spreads out of its spread funner, but it is encouraging in terms of education."
Heron said that the relation of students to the number of books was not relevant, while the relation of the number of books to graduate degrees awarded or the number of faculty positions major undergraduate fields was.
"one graduate student writing his doctoral thesis will use as examples what he has learned. "There are various reasons for this: a freshman's reading is more prescribed and get more paperback books."
HERONSAID that too often the amount of money given to a student is greater than the number of students without sufficient reference to the expenses of training students at even levels and in different fields.
There are two committees studying the library. One is a committee which acts as an advisory body to the librarians. Robert Hoffman, professor of systems and ecology is chair.
The solutions to some of these problems create questions.
I THINK its obvious that we were a problem of crowding, not just the students, but departmental libraries scattered over campus. These libraries are vast.
Within the library system there is another committee directed by the director of reader services, which is concerned with the care and maintenance of the library. One problem concerning the committee is the expansion of the art library at the expense of the reading room. The director of Watson, Heron said. Heron also said that nothing could be done until after Wescoe Hall was built.
Hoffman said that this committee hadn't met yet this year. He said that he had talked about
"It is an interesting question how to expand the library," Heron said. "It has a good location which is central to town and can be accessed substantially twice. The additions were fairly intelligently
and fairly satisfactorily done."
TPERE IS some question about whether or not it would be good to build a new library, Heron said. The present location is in a school and the sites for building are left on the central campus. Another problem is what the University wants with the present building.
One alternative, Heron mentioned, was to build an undergraduate library which is basically "a big, elegant study hall with rooftop small number of tables, ideally two dozen of ones in the main library."
"This is just speculation."
Heron said, "It is assuming we can get money which now doesn't seem as if it will be very easy."
OTHER ALTERNATIVES IN the library exist a existing library system. For example, Heron would like to encourage the library to communicate with users.
The books would be chosen with undergraduate courses in mind.
The commission contracted Bjorn of Topkena in 1970 to study traffic problems in Lawrence. The $2,812 grant in 1970 would be to receive a federal aid for the provement of the intersections of Iowa Street with 15th and 19th streets.
THE STUDY reported a three-peat of the best scores among the ranking between the intersections of 9th and Iowa counties in the State. The highest and least-located streets.
The intersection of 18th and 19th
Mid-Western and the highest priority rating. The study rated the priority of intersections using three factors: (a) color, (b) height, (c) goldmark.
General improvements suggested for all the intersections and streets, new approaches, channelization and modernization of traffic signals. The average cost of impact improved by 30%. The study was listed by the study as $81.65.
The study specifically proposed widening of all approaches to 19th century traffic control. The study would entail widenng Massachusetts to 66 feet and 19th to 52 feet. Also recommended was the establishment of a traffic control in compliance with standards set by the 1711 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Standards.

The study did not favor physical improvements for the eleventh ranking intersection, 11th and Massachusetts Streets. Pavement markings and an aerial signal were suggested, at $15,300.
Tied for twelfth place were 68 and Tennessee Streets, at $20,650,
68 and Vermont Streets,
$19,483.
An increase in traffic congestion and traffic accidents in Lawrence led to the study, "The influence of conditions on important arterial streets to determine street and traffic improvements."
The study stated that traffic volume increases over major metropolitan areas and next 20 years should be at least 40 points, causing more delay and congestion.
