Dean requests funding for new 'west library'
By MATT BARTEL Staff Reporter
University of Kansas libraries could face a critical shortage of space if their budget request for not more than 100 approved items, Ramp, then of libraries, said yesterday.
In addition, he said, library budget cats could adversely affect the quality of books.
Ran made the remarks following a luncheon address to the University Forum, a lecture series put on by the Episcopal Christian Ministries.
Newly renovated Watson Library will run out of space in two years if more room isn't found, Ranz said.
HE SAID the lack of space, combined with existing budget cuts and the rising cost of new acquisitions, could cut into the library's ability to meet the needs of its users.
"It's ridiculous to think this will not compromise the quality of undergraduate education." Ranz said.
Through the number of students and schools has increased dramatically over the past 20 years, he said, the acquisitions department at Watson is struggling to add the same number of books a year as it did 20 years ago.
The average price of new, bound volumes has nearly doubled in the last four years, the report said, going from $18 in 1977 to $33 in 1981.
EXISTING KU libraries will face a deficit of more than 127,000 square feet of usable space within the next 18
years, according to a report compiled last year by Peat, Marwick, and Mitchell, a private accounting firm based in New York City.
The report said the new library could house the materials from several branch libraries which were scattered around campus, an arrangement that made it more difficult for students to find their study materials. Previous proposals suggested putting new books adjacent to the Military Sciences Building.
"This dispersion of library materials is indefensible in educational and intellectual terms," the report said, "as a single individual may want at the same time to consult materials housed in mathematics and engineering, for example.
"It is a situation which generates unnecessary duplication of materials or disservice to users or both."
The report cited as examples the fact that the architecture library was divided between Watson and the art library on the lower level of Spencer Library, the business library and the business reading room were in different locations.
THE PROPOSED new west library would have about 100,000 net square feet of space and would house the engineering, maps, mathematics, science, business and economics, architecture, and music libraries.
William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, said the request had been in the budget for at least three years without being approved.
A municipal court official said the city had requested the delay of trial. Seurer is scheduled for trial at 8 a.m.

A 28-year old Lawrence man in Dougland County jail awaiting assignment on 14 traffic violations that occurred during a high speed chase with police Tuesday night, Lawrence Prosecutor Mike Glover said yesterday.
The man, Mark Etherton, Route 1, was captured by police after he drove his motorcycle into a patrol car at a road block at 23rd Street and Kasold Drive at 8:35 p.m. Tuesday, Lawrence Sigt. Sgt. Larry Loveday said yesterday.
The second of these two articles described how, in the course of producing a documentary on pornography, a Montreal filmmaker and her compatriots found most pornography—from Playboy to the snuff movie industry—"hings on violent acts against women." According to researchers Paul Johnson and chilens Jon Smith, *Sniffing the Snuff* is an American Pornography; The Starscape of Fape, found "that the amount of violence in pornography is increasing," Researchers Johnson and Goodchild say:
Etherton's arraignment is set for 8 a.m. Oct. 12 in Lawrence Municipal Court.
ETHERTON WAS ARRESTED on charges that included driving more than 100 mph in a 55 mph speed zone, driving 60 mph in a 30 mph zone, driving 57 in a 35 mph zone, running a stop-sign, attempting to be a officer, reckless driving and driving an suspended license, Loveland said.
Halley Kampschroeder, Seurer's attorney, would not comment on the case or the reasons the trial was continued.
Robinson, 1047/1 2 Delaware St., told Lawrence police after the incident that he had been trying to shake a handle when Saurer allegedly hit him.
PURSUIT OF THE motorcycle started at 9th and Iowa streets when a police officer tried to make the motorcycle stop for speeding. Loveland said.

The chase continued on Iowa Street, then west on 6th Street, south on the Clinton Road and east on Clinton Parkway, said police.
WOULD LITERARY LATRINES SATISFY JERRY JONES?
In a recent letter to the Journal World, Mr. Jerry Jones accused me of arguing "against freedom of speech as protected by the first amendment" in September 2015. Journal World's founder, Daniel Kernan, on children's programs and pornography was not authentic expressions of free speech. My effort was inspired by two articles in the October 8th issue of Family Circle magazine.
One of these articles was the tragic account of how a six-year-old boy unwillingly took his life by imitating a scene shown on one of television's cartoon shows. Although both the National Institute of Mental Health and the National PTA agree that violence on television—cartoon violence included—can influence children's behavior, the movers and shakers of this already profitable industry cannot be through the presentation of children in violent confrontations. A segment of the population of children was not what the Founding Fathers had in mind; they fashioned the First Amendment because, as the aforementioned six-year-old mother says, "Children are fragile. They must be protected."

Nell M. Malamuth and Barry Spinner's longitudinal content analysis of sexual violence in the pictorials and cartoons of Playboy and Penthouse magazines from 1973-77 supports Smith's contention . . . they are concerned because the coupling of sex and violence may so condition women that associated with sexual violence may also believe that women in general, like the men depicted in these magazines are basically masochistic, and in need of male domination.

Researchers Johnson and Goodchilde conclude that "the catharsis model is inadequate; i.e. the model that says porophagy drains off tenilones so that men do less if they read or see more. If this model were correct, then as the amount porophagy increased, the rate of rape should have decreased. In next, both have
Mr. Jones has proclaimed his willingness to endure some governmental censorship because 'the first thing we're bound to lose would be William T. Dann's opinions.' hope it won't dampen Mr. Jones spirits to discover that my outpourings are protected because, in the words of *Jane Foster*, he said the law 'justifies the Court's 1897 Rout vs. United States decision':
All ideas having even the slightest reopening social importance—unorthodox ideas, controversial ideas, even ideas hateful to the prevailing climate of opinion—have the full protection of the guarantees, unless excludable because they encroach upon the limited area of more important interests. But implicit in the history of the First Amendment is the rejection of obscenity as utterly without reopening social importance.
By MATTHEW SCHOFIELD Staff Reporter
In their book Sex, Violence and the Media, Messrs. Hans Eysenck and D.K.B. Nias
conclude that:
There are certain areas of sexual behavior . . . not safe for public showing . . . sex involving children . . . rape and other forms of sexual violence, vividly and explicitly presented . . . Sex involving animals . . . Torture, bondage and sadomasochistic acts . . . such presentations have effects on men's attitudes which are detrimental to women; in fairness to more than one half of the population such incidences should be proscribed.

For eternal optimists like Mr. Jones, the foregoing information is probably deflationary, but I'd like to suggest a compromise. Perhaps the entrepreneurial pimps responsible for my pornography could construct literary latrines for those omnivores with their capacity to discriminate. In the spirit of free enterprise these entrepreneurial pimps could let their olfactory systems lead them to the appropriate locations. Although the American Civil Liberties Union might accept this solution, it actually think it would be doomed to failure. Florence Rush, a former social worker and author of a book on child abuse, explains why:
As our threshold for shock diminishes and we become more and more immune to the dangers of porphyry, we conjure up all sorts of rationales to perpetuate this vicious industry . . . Actual living examples between criminal sexual assaults . . . and porphyria are too frequent to ignore.
Game day air traffic at Lawrence Municipal Airport probably will become less hectic because of almost $1 million received for safety and capacity improvements from the Federal Air Traffic Service a flight instructor said yesterday.
Sex and obsevance are not synonymy . . . the portrayal of sex e.g. in art, literature and scientific works, is not itself sufficient reason to deny maternal the constitutional protection of freedom of speech and press. Obscene material is material which deals with sex in a manner appealing to prudent interest.
Some of the money would be used to build a taxing runway, which means people would no longer have to taxi and run on the runway. Jeff Friday, the instructor, said.
