Economics books will be catalogued
By DAWN SHARP Staff Reporter
A grant awarded to the University of Kansas libraries will be used to catalogue a Watson library collection of books. The experts say it is the best in the United States.
The $245,000 grant was awarded to the University under the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare's "Strengthening Research Library Program," Jim Neely, business and economics bibliographer, said last week.
Marilyn Clark, chairman of the library collection development council, and Neeley wrote a proposal to HEW seeking the grant.
Neeley said that although most major libraries in the United States submitted proposals, only 25 received a grant.
The $245,000 grant will pay the salaries of a full-time, five-member team that will catalogue the library's 14,000 economics books published after 1850.
The team will work for two years to complete the project, which begins Oct. 1. Neesel said.
Kenneth E. Carpenter, curator at Harvard University's Kress Library of
Business and Economics has said KU's collection of books on economics was "unmatched elsewhere."
FORTY PERCENT of the KU collection is not duplicated in the Kress Library. Because KU has books that many other libraries do not have, the Kress library contains collections of other libraries if they are on the interlibrary loan system, Neely said.
Libraries on the loan system enter a list of their holdings into a computer system that is based in Ohio. This system is based on the network to have access to the list
If a library wants material that another library has it could get a list of which libraries had the material and request it from them.
To manage the interlibrary loan system, a computer terminal will be purchased with part of the grant.
All other expenses, including paper and office space, will be absorbed by KU, because "the library had to show what it was willing to do," Neely said.
The economics books previously had not been catalogued by subject and title, because the library staff was inadequate to complete the task, Neiley said.

Humanities program bridges Business, LA&S
It is essential today for businessmen to be able to communicate clearly and effectively with their co-workers and the public.
Bv JENNIFER HOLT
Stan Keporter
Recognizing a need for business students to acquire a broad background in these sciences was the reason College of Liberal Arts and Sciences last year developed a program that created new humanities courses linked to the business sciences, the plan of the school of business, said this week.
Moral Issues in Business was offered last week at the American Institute and business school changes offered under the $285,796 grant awarded by the National Endowment for Humanities, Tolleson
This semester, approximately 124 students are enrolled in humanities that compose the program designed especially for business majors.
The courses, Morals issues in Business,
Business and the Humanities in the Hispanic World, Topics in American Business History and Humanities 500-On
the Course. The course is sponsored by a special grant the School of Business received in summer 1978.
TOLLEFSON, Robert Pichler, dean of the School of Business, Robb Cobell, dean of the School of Science, Richard DeGeorge, University Professor of philosophy who drafted the grant proposal.
The grant was the first given to a business school by the NEH and the first humanities grant ever given to a business school, Tolffson said.
Tolleson said the program would attempt to build a bridge between the two schools. The four administrators hope to provide a resource for schools could examine and incorporate, he said.
He said the approximate cost of the program last year was $105,000. He added that this year's program would cost $95,753 and an estimated $60,000 the third year.
This is the second year for the program.
"From a survey I conducted of the class, I found that four students out of 19 were business majors," Debicki said. "This number is more than I anticipated and I am proud of it." A few students are interested in business, but are not necessarily business majors. "But are
About half of the students in the 55-
member class were business majors,

into business-related careers.

He said his course was designed to create student awareness of the general features of Latin America and Mexico. Students will get a brief historical look at colonial times and modern history, and also a brief look at the culture, culture, social patterns and class attitudes.
"I am slightly disappointed in the number, but this was the first time it was offered, and it was offered at the same time as other business courses, he said.

He said the course would give a historical background instead of the more contemporary business courses.
Sponholtz said the course would explore changes in American business brought about by modernizing processes.
Lloyd Spohnboltz, professor of history and instructor of the American Business History course, said only eight or nine of the 29 students in his course were business majors.

Program cuts crime in Oread neighborhood
The Oread Neighborhood Association's anti-crime program is reducing crime in the Oread district, Nan Harper, anti-crime program director, said yesterday.
"Before our anti-crime program was started in the Alcoa Neighborhood, our area had only 7 percent of the total population of Lawrence and 7 percent of the land area,"
but 26 percent of all residential burglaries occurred in the district." she said.
Ron Olin, analyst for the Lawrence Police Department, said that from Sept. 20, 1978, to March 31, 2015, the law enforcement in the Oread district decreased 28.2 percent. The anti-crime program was started last year.

PART OF THE anti-crime program is a block watch program, Harper said.
"Although the program started in September of last year, people were not aware, if they had ever heard of Harper said. "It took us many months to build confidence in the association, the group."
The anti-crime program's parent organization, the Oread Neighborhood Association, was formed in 1976 in response to a series of rapes in the district.
She said the block watch program was an especially effective way of combating crime because it motivated neighbors to work together to protect each other's property.
She said when people got to know each other they watched for suspicious things in the neighborhood.
"I have heard of people living practically next to each other for 30 years who had never met," she said.
Block socials have served to draw Oread residents and to remove fear and paranoia, according to Harper.
"We have held all 12 black socials this year. This allows neighbors to get to know each other, and unite against crime in their neighborhood," she said.
TENNIS?
GOLF?
"It was the dope capital of Lawrence. There were race problems here. It served as the center for the student anti-war movement."
"TEN YEARS ago, Oread was pioneer land for a family," Harper said.
"It had a terrible reputation. Everyone in a planning position in town assumed that Oread would eventually be filled with highrises and dorms.
"Now," Harper said, "we're seeing real changes in the neighborhood."
