Mewen said. He said the committee's report should help do this. Also, the University should encourage individuals and industry to give major pieces of their own work. The new federal income tax law includes in industries to support universities, measured as Another source for funding could be cooperatives with industry. Meyen said. Utilities customers, like residential customers and hospitals, supplied." From page 1 As a result of an additional KPS pipeline this year, the supply of natural gas was greater this year. Allison said the rising gas prices, a product of deregulation, would probably follow the same pattern that gasoline prices followed a few years ago. "People will stop using so much at these high prices and a surplus will occur," he said. Even if natural gas prices decrease in the near future, chances are still great that the utility will have to ask the Kansas Logistics department supplement funds to pay their fiscal utility bills. "They say we can get $5 percent of our books on 8-inch shelves," Ranz said. Libraries That just is not the way books come, especially the larger literature volumes, he said. From page 1 Narrower airlines also would create a problem for students passing in the open stacks, he said. Ranz also said students might be forced to request library books and wait a night before receiving them because books would have to be stored in basements and downtown storage. "It is not a matter of us being uncooperative or things differently, it just wouldn't work," he said. State Sen. August Bogina, R-Leneca, said he supported the study, and said it would have a large impact on the Legislature's funding for the proposed science library. "The Legislature is paying more than $100,000 for this preliminary draft and I think we should stick pretty close to it," said Bogina, a member of the Senate Ways and Means KU subcommittee. "It's a total waste of money otherwise." Another concern KU officials have is that the independent auditor building contains feet between beds. State Sen. Paul Hess, R-Wichita, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, agreed that the study would have a strong impact on the state because that he knew nothing of its violating a state code. Hess said that funding a Wichita State University library was a priority in the Legislature right now, and that KU's science library might not be built for two or three years. "That doesn't mean we don't think the situation at KU is important," he said, "but there may not be any planning on KU's library this session." Ranz said that even if the Legislature did approve money for the building this year, it would take a year to draft a plan, and two more years to construct the building. "We've got enough space for three more years and then we have to start placing books in stores." The New York firm suggests that inadequate facilities are now satisfactory, he said, and that the "spartan" allocation of space leaves no room for future improvement. "The new library would look like a Motel 6, striped, tight and uncomfortable."
