More library terminals unlikely in near future
By CYNTHIA HRENCHIR

The computer age has invaded the KU library system as much as is feasible for the next few years, said librarians, associate dean of libraries.
Currently, three libraries check out books through computer terminals—Watson, the Malot science library, and the art library.
"But unless the libraries have a certain volume of circulation to warrant a terminal," said Glinka, "it is unlikely they will be receiving one."
SO FOR THE next few years it is unlikely that libraries like the engineering library at the Satellite Institute in Strong Hall will receive terminals.
Watson Library's terminals were installed August 1979. The art library followed in September 1980 and the library began using them December 1980.
The benefits of the computer system are twofold, explained Charlee Glinka, circulation supervisor at the science library.
"It's quicker to check out books, which makes the patron spend less time standing in line," she said, "and it also standardizes information."
Before the computers, checking out a book at Malott meant filling out a three-

"They have a lot of room for error," she said. "One number switched and the book was lost."

GLINKA SAID that the terminals were quick and efficient.
"Basically, if you watch the thing, it will tell you what you are doing," she said.
"We use the program they developed for Watson, which I think is really good," she said.
"I feel I can really trust the system." She thought the system was hard to use incorrectly.
The science library has 300,000 books, nearly half of which came from the now-extinct Marvin Hall architecture library.
Shortages caused by 'European powers'
Glinka had no idea how many items had been placed in the computer system by her staff, but her work on entering journals was about half completed.

Poverty specialist criticizes food aid
The almost $2 billion worth of food aid sent to poor and developing countries from the West each year does more harm than good, a study indicates of poverty and economic dependency in West Africa said yesterday.
FOOD AID CAUSED other problems in Africa, she said, especially for very young children when the Nestle Company began marketing their controversial infant formula.
"We should stop food aid except in emergency situations where food aid could do some good and be the difference," he said. Harrell-Bond told about 50 people at
Barbara Harrell-Bond, who has reported on English-speaking West Africa for the American Universities Field Staff since 1978, said only 10 percent of the money spent for field was used for the African's benefit.
"They advertised artificial feeding as superior to breast feeding, making the children lose immunizations from their mothers' milk to endemic diseases, and lack nutrition," Harrell-Bond said.
States generously offered to provide flour mills, and now the people eat white bread and the city population ate white flour. It was never a part of African diet."

"We are more malnutritioned than pre-colonial Africa," Harrell-Bond said. "They convinced people that food is better for people when it is not."
She said that the colonies in Africa receiving food aid, and considered by the United States and other Western countries as poor, were "abundant societies" before they were colonized.
"It was not drought, not disease and not overpopulation that caused these countries to be poor," Harrrell-Bond said. "It was the European powers who created the shortages assessed taxes on the countries."
She said another problem with food aid was that many times, the food sent was inappropriate or much to late help to the people.
HARREL-BOND used the 1976 Guatemala earthquake as an example, saying that the country's grain had not been badly damaged
because the earthquake came during harvest. And although the country needed salt and sugar to survive, the crops sent basic grains in had surplus.
In African countries, the inappropriate food sometimes caused malnutrition when there had not been any before.
"The introduction of bread brought technology. The United
She said the food aid sent caused problems for the Guatemalans. The price of native grains were forced down; people stood in lines waiting for bread. Many work needed to be done; and local leadership faltered.
"They don't need us as much as we need them for our economy," she said.
