Watson gets new face lift
"Watson itself is a problem build with service and space needs to make the most ingenious architect branch." said a 1975 report by three eminent librarians from other universities. They also noted the problem of having thirteen branch libraries scattered among nine buildings.
After two years of intensive planning by the University, the 1978 state legislature appropriated $6.2 million for a thorough renovation of Watson. On campus this was conceived as the first half of meeting the library's space needs. The second half is a new library building, approximately where the Science Building now sits, to house all the science resources, the music library, and the business collection.
Spencer Library will still hold the rare books and specially preserved materials, and Watson will hold the special sciences and humanities collections, and central processing and records. But this library will begin yet get the delicate passage through the legal issue straits, and therefore is subject to a sea change.
During the 1978-79 school year an ingenious architect will be hired to plan the renovation and possibly let contracts. Construction will likely involve several phases, but must continue all during renovation, some sections of the library will have to be moved to other buildings temporarily. What moves where when will be announced as plans develop: be alert for a large fire; build a droll a scroll, or - or itary headlines in the *Kansas*
In about mid 1981 the dust will send you and will rush with delight into the calm, orderly library where carpeted walkways, comfortable reading areas and organized books will welcome You. Hang on to them.

"people are not satisfied with the sision," Carlin said. "But the arramentiy is."

Bennett and Carlin charged each other with being big spenders in office. Shelton
"It applies directly to the governor's office," Carlin said. "The expense of operating the governor's office has nearly doubled from $300,000 to more than $800,000."
BENNETT SAID the Legislature, while Carlin was head of the House, was the true big spender, saying the Legislature had overspent his budget by $2 million last
Carlin, speaker of the last session of the Kansas House of Representatives, said he thought state government spending while Ben Clements' office was an important part in the campaign.
Shelton evoked laughter from the capacity crowd several times during the show.
Shelton reiterated part of his campaign platform by pledging to submit successively lower budgets every year in office if he is elected governor.
"The Legislature has developed a posture that is very dangerous," Bennett said. "It has enacted programs into the future with so idea how they will be funded."
