Library dean seeks remodeling of Watson
Watson Library will be getting an extensive facelift in the near future that will include remodeling of the book stacks, a new elevator, and toilet facilities on floors without them, if Jim Ranz, dean of libraries, has his way.
Ranz, chairman of the library facilities planning committee, yesterday said the committee's request for remodeling would be met. The executive vice chancellor, in October.
In the request, the committee will ask that the interior of Watson be remodeled.
ONE OF THE major physical changes planned is the removal of the original central book stacks and the resurfacing of the first three floors.
In a report last summer, a visiting building consultant called the central stack area a fire trap.
Ruiz agreed the stack area was a potential fire trap, although there were no reports of fires.
Ranz said that by installing a highly localized sprinkler system and replacing the existing eight levels in the central stack fire tree, the fire threat would be eliminated.
THE COMMITTEE report also will
request that several interior rooms be eliminated by tearing out walls, he said.
"It's so barn-like and cold," Ranz said. "We hope that by tearing out walls we can open the barn."
"The situation in a nutshell is that Watson was first built in the 1920s. Fifteen or 20 years later the first addition was added, in 1935, and the second addition was made, and then the third addition.
OTHER PLANNED renovations include replacing the ventilation system, adding an auxiliary lighting system, upgrading the heating system, installing an elevator in the library's east wing.
Also to be requested are public restrooms on the second floor, in the basement and on the first floor. Ranz said the committee also would ask that the University Photo Services in the building provide them.
"In the process, the building has gotten cerbly complicated. It's been a very pertinent issue."
"The unexcavated area in the sub-mentasure and the photo services cut the work."
If the renovation request is approved by the University administration and the Board of Regents, construction will start sometime in 1978.
Women's finance forum to feature U.S. treasurer
Teaching women to become more aware of financial problems in their lives, these goals have been a priority.
Francine Neff, treasurer of the United States, will be the keynote speaker in a symposium intended to help educate personal financial literacy. Sept. 16 in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
"Money Matters," sponsored by the School of Business and the University State Bank, will cover topics in estate planning, wills, bills and household money problems.
"It was clear to us that because of stereotypic and discriminatory roles of women in society, women have not had the opportunity to learn about personal finance: And we saw there was a real need to have an assistant who could understand the personal and financial problems," Joseph Pichler, dean of the School of Business, said yesterday.
Pichler said women often found themselves forced to deal with financial situations in which they haven't had previous experience.
"We're covering topics everybody should know," he added.

The concert will start at 8 p.m. and will feature Russell and his wife, Mary.
