Mistreated books on display
By JANE NEUFELD Staff Reporter
Fires, floods, mice and men are a few of the culprits in a book exhibit opening today at the Spencer Research Library.
The enemies of books" is a display of books that have been damaged by the forces of nature, inherent defects and human abuse. Books displayed are taken from Spencer Library, a rare books library.
Bill Mitchell, associate special collections librarian at Spencer library, surprised the students to show people how they should treat their books.
"one of our chief functions in this library is to make sure that the things we have will last for other people to use," Mitchell said.
SOMETIMES people don't realize they are harming their books, Mitchell said.
"There are people who hurt books out of a sort of ignorant benevolence," he said. "They think they are doing something that will help the book, but they are really ruining it."
Mitchell said that the collection showed written in books, pages repaired with adhesive tape and damaged with unintentional damage to books.
The collection also has books that were harmed when they were used to press flowers and store newspaper clippings. Mitchell said the acids in the flowers and the newspaper ate the book pages.
"The problem with newsprint is that basically they just grind up a tree to make it look said." "Well, as well," he added. "always said, you got guts, feathers and all."
An example of deliberate harm to books, Mitchell said, is the work of book censors.
THE EXHIBIT includes a 16th century book on alchemy that had 36
pages cut out by a Spanish inquisitor. Mitchell said the Inquisition was responsible for the destruction of a number of books.
"They burned both books and people," Mitchell said. "Today, you can book says probably wouldn't trouble anybody, including the pope."
The collection even contains a book whose owner glued all the pages together so no one could read it.
"I don't suppose there's any way of getting across to that guy. I'd like to," Mitchell said. "The average person, though, who unthinkingly does bad things to his books, maybe he'll recognize himself here."
Humans are not the only cause of the damage to the books in the exhibit. Mitchell said the collection also had books that show damage from mice, silverfish, cockroaches and bookworms.
He said insects were attracted to
the starches used in book paper to prepare it for printing.
BOOK DAMAGE is sometimes due to a book's structure instead of outside forces, Mitchell said.
"A book, just like an automobile, can be well or ill made," Mitchell said.
A smaller exhibit on the friends of books will be shown with the exhibit of book enemies, Mitchell said.
He said that books were often printed on paper containing chemicals that would later destroy it and a lighter paper was more expensive.
"The main exhibit is roasting one guy or another for the things that have happened to these books," he added. "They need to also have a positive exhibit."
Included in the exhibit of book friends are examples of books such as *The Alphabet* and books and book oil that is used as a lubricant for leather book covers.

Plan for industrial park gets Chamber attention
By JENNIFER LISTON Staff Reporter
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce is considering the development of an industrial park north of Lawrence, the Chamber announced that the Chamber has ordered a study of the purchase of two tracets of land involved.
The Chamber's affiliate development company, the Lawrence Industriol Co. Inc., has signed orders to buy the two tracts, 259 acres just north of the municipal airport and 186 acres across Highway 24 west of the airport.
The option gives the Chamber ex-
tension and release the land before the end of next year.
LANDPLAN ENGINEERING of Lawrence will conduct a study before the Chamber decides whether to buy the land. The study should be completed by the end of the year, the firm said.
The engineering firm will study the park's feasibility and prepare a cost estimate.
No firms have expressed interest in the area yet, and there is no definite plan for developing the area, Chamber officials said.
Brian Kubota, an engineer with the firm, said the study would examine the area's transportation facilities and determine the cost of developing the area.
Glenn E. West, the Chamber's executive vice president, said the Chamber itself would not be able to finance the area's development.
Neither tract of land is within city limits, but Lynn Anderson, Chamber president, said the city might want to annex the land.
"One of our objectives is to add to the tax base of the city as well as the county."
ANNEXATION WOULD provide property taxes for the city, but the city could issue the bonds without annexation.
New industry to the park could develop a high level of industrial prosperity a year, West said.
Anderson said the park probably would be zoned for light to medium industry. The Chamber intends to be heavily involved in the area's development to insure a controlled, attractive area, he said.
West said the community needed to add to the number of industrial sites in the area. The 186-acre Santa Fe in northwest Colorado and the West Turnpike exit is full, he said.
The Chamber has not set a starting or completion date for the industrial park.
On the Record
It will depend on how aggressive the community is in needing jobs," West said.
Instead, the city could offer low-interest industrial revenue bonds to induce industries to build in the area, he said.
According to KU Police Capt. John Mullens, the woman was raped and beaten by the man. She was treated for bruises at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Mullens said the victim described the man as a medium-size black male, possibly with a beard or a mustache. He said there were no suspects.
KU police are looking for a man in connection with the rape of a KU student in her apartment at the church. Towers early yesterday morning.
