"It's like Social Security," he said, "it's making it, in few years, it could be in a million."
Davidson was concerned about the lack of the ability to add new journals.
"Physical science, mathematical science, computer science—they are all exploding with new information. But how can you stop research in an area to get these?"
"The problem is we are not able to pick up any new ones," he said. "These new journals are sitting on the market and they are important, but they don't have any copies of them." And we already cut the ones we don't need.
DAVIDSON EMPHASIZED the University's need was not only to maintain the current system but to improve it.
"The chancellor recognized that it's necessary to step up our college's library," he said. "The problems differ from discipline to discipline. A great university can not afford to lessen."
George Woodyard, associate vice chancellor for research, graduate school and public services and associate dean of the graduate school, serves on the board as always concerned with the state of the library.
"It's important to keep up with acquisitions," he said. "Therefore, we are always concerned with keeping periodicals good for the graduate school.
"We are under constant pressure to keep pace,
let alone make any gains."
WOODYARD SAID everyone wanted a high quality leather hardback adidas
"Anytime you have to cut, you feel damage somewhere along the way." he said.
Robert Lineberry, dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences declined to comment because he said he didn't know where the source was.
Davidson explained what he believed was the main problem.
Rent increases too high, residents say
"We want to have good students," he said,
but unless they are given good tools to do the job,
they'll never learn.
By JANICE GUNN Staff Reporter
Members of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association said last night that an increase in their rent, proposed Monday by the housing department, could make living at Stouffer Place too expensive.
The increase, if carried forward, will raise single-bedroom rates from $125 to $140 a month, and two-bedroom rates from $140 to $160 a month. It is a 12 and 14 percent increase, respectively.
J. WILSON, director of housing, said that building a new apartment increase is not enough to cover all cost increases.
But last night at the association's first meeting of the year, several members questioned the increase and how it would be used.
Brian Liebel, association president,
"Some people question whether this is low-cost
Other association members expressed the same doubt at the meeting, that was held in the second session.
The main concern of the members was that they actually were paying too much to live at Stouffer Place and that Wilson did not consult the residents because he made decisions affecting Stouffer residents.
housing or and not whether they're getting their money's worth."
"It costs us more to live here than the kids in the dorms, and this is supposed to be low-cost housing," Kathleen Dewispelaere, an association member, said.
OTHER ASSOCIATION members said that the rate of increase was higher than inflation and they wanted to know how the increase was going to be spent.
Wilson said that he computed the rate of increase by looking at the past year to determine how much more Stouffer Place would need to operate.
He said that the increase actually would not even pay for the rising costs. Based on full occupancy, the increase would bring $600,000 more year, the increase in costs amounted to $100,000.
ALTHOUGH ELDER took it upon himself to determine the fate of the plants, he does not have a plan.
"This rate necessitates that cost be pared considerably, and maybe the rate of inflation be reduced."
"No, I only have two personal plants," Elder tried to explain. "I just wanted them to be because I hadn't been done."

Elder said that in the past, recovered plants were just allowed to die down in the evidence room.
Elder said he suspected that the practice would continue as long as Malone liked the idea
In order for Elder's scheme to work, he had to get permission from District Attorney Mike Malone to move the plants from the evidence room to the district attorney's office.
other major decisions that affected Stouffer residents.
"I have yet to receive just a phone call Wilson telling me what is going on," Liebel said. "He never asked us for our feedback on lock-out policy or new rent rates. We also wanted to help select the new managers, but he did not consult us on that either."
But, association members said that Wilson neither asked them when he proposed this rate increase.
He said that the buildings had a lot of maintenance costs that add up quickly and that part of them are paid for by the building owner.
"But I got this wild idea that there was no reason they should have to die." Elder said. "And anyway, if we let them die, there would be nothing for the judge to look at during the trial."
WILSON SAID, "I'll be happy to talk to those people about the rent rates, I have nothing against them."
Association members said that their top priority was to obtain a working relationship with Wilson because in the past, he did not favor their organization.
Mature friend Erie's request.
"Actually, we were very selfish and just wanted the evidence to look good," Malone joked.
John Lazakovski, an association member, said that their relationship with Wilson was bad because of a past disagreement between the association and Wilson.
"The members of the association who started it, asked him for an account of the expenses we paid for in our rent, and when he refused to let us see it, there was a big bifurc." Lazaskoits said.
LAYNE PIERCE, the association representative, said, "In the last three years, we have never seen a break down on how the money is spent."
But Wilson said that in the past he was cooperative with the association and he did give them a break down of the expenses for Stouffer Place.
Wilson said that the problem was that the association's members wanted to see a more specific report of the expenses than the housing office kept.
