Frosh library class proposed by SAGE
By Susan Brandmeyer Kansan Staff Reporter
A mandatory non-credit freshman course in the use of Watson Library has been suggested by the Student Association of Graduates in English (SAGE) library committee.
In a report submitted to George Worth, chairman of the English department and a member of the University Senate library committee, SAGE states that many undergraduates are unfamiliar
Professor dies while in Boston
Henry P. Smith, 58, long-time professor of education at the University of Kansas, died Tuesday afternoon of an apparent heart attack while attending a professional meeting in Boston, Mass.
Smith, who was on sabbatical leave from KU this year, was filling a visiting professorship at Grambling University, Grambling, La.
An educational psychologist, he was born and raised near Emporia and earned both the B.S. and M.S. degrees from Kansas State Teachers College there. He earned his Ph.D. degree from the University of Iowa in 1943 before joining the KU faculty in 1947.
Smith is survived by his wife; two sons, George L. of Shawnee Mission, and Judson, of the home; a daughter, Mrs. Norman Fulcher, of Lawrence; and numerous grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending.
with even the most fundamental facts about the use of libraries—KU libraries in particular.
Because graduate students in English use library facilities as much as, or more than any other group on campus, the SAGE library committee was formed to examine and constructively criticize library facilities. The committee traced many of the causes for inconvenience in the library to undergraduates who do not know how to use the library facilities.
The report states that misinformed students leave reference books in improper areas causing the books to be temporarily out of circulation until located by librarians. Books also are improperly replaced in the stacks instead of being turned in to the circulation desk, the report said.
Valuable library staff time is devoted to instructing undergraduates on the use of the card catalogue, reference books and other facets of the library, Pat Murphy, Bismarck, N.D., graduate student and chairman of the SAGE library committee, said. A required course in library usage would alleviate many such problems and also help the student's study program, he said.
Earlier this year the freshman-sophomore committee in the English department rejected a SAGE proposal that library instruction be included in English I. At that time the freshman-sophomore committee said it did not approve appropriation of valuable class time for this purpose.
A library-financed course is now suggested by the SAGE committee as the ideal solution. However, Watson Library lacks the funds and staff for such a program, Terrence Williams, assistant library director, said Wednesday.
