Engineering books remain together
By Beth Behrens Kansan staff writer
Ground-breaking ceremonies yesterday for the Spahr Hall addition ensured that the engineering book collection will remain intact.
Carl Locke, dean of engineering,
said the engineering library, built in
1984, was already too small for its
collection. Locke said that on the day
in 1988 when the building was named,
the librarian told him that part of the
collection would have to be moved.
He said Charles Spahr, overhearing
the conversation, returned to the
University a week later to discuss
donating money for the addition.
The library was named for Spahr, a civil engineering alumnus.
Locke said part of the engineering collection was to be moved to Watson Library until phase two of the project, and Technology had been completed.
Phase two of the building and renovation plan is the renovation of Hoch Auditorium, where the engi- neer collection would have been moved.
Locke said the most important aspect of the addition was that the engineering library would be permanently located next to Learned Hall.
Spahr donated $600,000 for the addition last year, Locke said.
David Kraft, chairman of the building committee, said the addition would add about 900 square feet to the original 1,500-square-foot building.
Council debates Regents Center's structure
Kraft, who was dean of engineering when the original structure was built, said the added space would make the building large enough to be used as a long-term library.
Dave Evans, architect for the addition, said the construction would be completed during the summer of 1990.

Function may have to follow the dictates of form when construction at the new Regents Center is complete, but it will aid the University council yesterday.
Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said planning for the building had started with no specific curricular goals in mind.
"We are dealing with something that was not carefully thought out before the event."
The center, to be built at 127th Street and Quivira Road in Overland Park, was conceived as a center for research and graduate studies.
Brinkman said a University building committee met with architects bi-weekly to review plans for the center.
Elizabeth Banks, associate professor of classics, said the meetings suggested that there were clear cur-
circular goals driving the design of the center.
Brinkman said communication had been weak between his office and those planning the building.
"No one has ever given me any kind of document saying, 'This is what it is.' " Brinkman said.
Banks said KU faculty should try to get involved with approving designs for the center.
"It itse to me that things are going backwards," she said.
For example, Banks said, the library at the new center would be smaller than the current Regents building, which would have to house more books.
She said the current planning system could be an administrative attempt to exclude faculty from having say in the construction of the center.
In other business, the council unanimously voted to amend a charge to the University Senate committee on
human relations to study minority involvement in campus groups and living organizations.
The original charge had been approved last week by the University Senate executive committee.
The SenEx version instructed the human relations committee to study the efforts of fraternities and sororites to promote multiculturalism and make recommendations as needed.
Banks proposed creating an educational program and deadlines for greek groups to increase minority involvement. The amendment would deny the groups' recognition if they did not make an effort to increase minority membership.
The amended version instructs the committee to submit its report to the University council by Feb. 1, 1990.
Banks said that she wanted the charge to call for concrete action and that the original version had not.
"It was just wishy-washy," she said.

What's Your Idea of Cruel and Inhuman?
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights prohibits the infliction of cruel and inhuman punishment upon prisoners.
But what's your idea of cruel and inhuman?
Electrocution? The body burns bright red as its temperature rises. The flesh swells and the skin stretches to the point of breaking. Sometimes it catches on fire. The force of the electrical current is so powerful that the eyeballs sometimes pop out and rest on the cheeks. Witnesses hear a loud, long sound like bacon frying; the nauseate smell of burning flesh fills the room.
Or how about lethal injection? Where sometimes surgery is required to cut into a deeper vein to inject the fatal dose of barbiturates, where ten minutes of excruciating pain and lingering consciousness can pass before the prisoner dies? Or the gas chamber? A slow, convulsive death by asphyxiation as the brain and heart are deprived of oxygen.
The death penalty. It's not a punishment. It's a crime.
