Libraries need more funds
By DOUG CUNNINGHAM Staff Reporter

A $197,000 increase next year in the University of Kansas libraries' acquisitions budget will keep the libraries from losing purchasing power, but more money is still needed, KU librarians said yesterday.
"We'll be pretty much able to keep up on our current purchases," said Richard Ring, head of collections development at Watson Library. "But we'll probably still have some minor shortfalls."
Jim Ranz. dean of libraries, said although the budget increase would make it more likely students would be able to find the material they needed for their classes, it did not represent progress in library purchasing power.
"These are difficult times," he said.
"There was a real possibility that the library was going to take a giant step backwards."
KU ADMINISTRATORS have responded about as well as they could have to the financial needs of the library, Ranz said. He said Chancellor Klass had tried to put extra money into the library acquisitions budget.
"It's just that inflation has eaten it all up and then some." he said.
The $197,000 budget increase is an addition to this year's library acquisitions base budget of $13. million. Grant Howard, acquisitions librarian.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said he hoped an additional $100,000 in funds could be found to add to next year's acquisitions budget, but he could not say if that would be possible.
The library actually spent $1.9 million this year on books and periodicals, Howard said, because of a
one-time transfer of $80,000 from general University funds to the library. It was done to avoid a major periodicals cancellation.
TWO YEARS ago the library canceled subscriptions to 800 periodicals because of a large budget shortfall, Howard said. Even though the budget had increased you before, it did not keep up with the rate of inflation.
The current inflation rate for library materials is about 15 percent, Howard said.
"Library materials have typically inflated at a rate higher than the U.S. Consumer Price Index," he said. "But increases in these prices increase has become extremely rapid."
The average price increase last year among science publishers, Howard said, was 19.4 percent. Many publishers depend on short-term borrowing and have been hit hard by high interest rates, he said.
The average book now costs $73 and the annual periodical costs $74 a year. Howard said.
"Books that cost $100 are not all that uncommon anymore," he said.
Ranz said that if the University was to maintain a research-quality library, budget increases must not only keep up with the rate of inflation but should surpass it.
"We ought to be buying a lot more books than we presently are," he said.
BECAUSE KU library purchases have not kept up with student and faculty demand for the larger number of books and journals being published, but it is important to interlibrary loan system to see if some other library might have the material.
KU's libraries are the third highest in the country in loans through the interlibrary loan system. Ranz said.

Quasar technology in astronomy, for example, has experienced large growth in the past 10 to 15 years. It is library-oriented and can subscribe to any new journals in the field, he said.
Increasing library funding is a must. Davidson said.
He said that the library should be subscribing to more journals because of the growth in the number published and areas covered. Instead, the library subscribsions since the cancellation of 800 percals two years ago, he said.

Ann Eversole, director of the office of student organizations and activities, said she does not think she will approve will pose a problem.
If the location is approved by the Student Organizations and Activities Events Committee next week, a spring sale of the all-sports ticket package will be April 19, 20 and 21 in front of Wescoe Hall, Richard Konzem, ticket manager, said yesterday.
THE ALL-SPORTS ticket package was introduced this year and was designed to remedy the declining student season-ticket sales.
She said she had not yet received a request, but added that she had spoken with an athletic department official by phone. She said the events committee would have to approve the request.
In addition to spring cleaning and spring training, the KU athletic department is adding a new event—a spring sale.

Parking board ponders permit discounts

Owners of cars and motorcycles have a special parking problem on campus; they have to pay for permits to park there. They also must only drive one to campus each day.
The Parking and Traffic Board used to allow people who own more than one car to purchase a permit for one car at the regular price and purchase ad-hoc equipment rate, with a stipulation that they only park one car at a time on campus.
That system caused a problem.
"Historically, what's happened is
both cars have come to campus," Tom Mulinazzi, chairman of the parking board, said yesterday.
That system caused a problem.
Yesterday Ron Shore, printing services employee, brought the problem to the board's attention at its regular meeting.
"As long as a person pays for one permit, there's no way he is ripping the University off," he said.
THE BOARD AGREED that motorcycles were different from cars, because motorcycles took less parking space.
"You're actually doing the University a favor by riding the motorcycle," Mulinazi said.
"We'd like the idea of allowing the

The parking rules and regulations for next year need to be submitted to the University Senate executive committee by April 9, he said. The rules would then have to be amended if the proposal is adapted.

But the board could not make the decision to give the discount at its meeting.
Don Kearns, director of Parking Services, was not at the meeting, and Mulinazi said he wanted to discuss the idea with Kearns before deciding.
Mulnazzi said he would meet with Kearsna today to tell him that the board was in favor of a regulation allowing parking permits only for purchase parking permits for cars
