Faculty research rooms disputed
Staff Reporter
By KATHY GANNON
Officials at Spencer Research Library and Watson Library disagree about supporting 97 private research rooms called faculty studies in the two libraries.
Alexandra Mason, Spencer librarian, said researchers working on these papers or dissertations needed and appreciated private study rooms.
But H. Robert Malinowsky, associate dean of libraries, said, "I think research studies are an extravagant use of space for this building right now. I question having them if we can't even accommodate the general student body."
Watson has 32 research studies for faculty members and graduate students on the topics.
SPENCER HAS 65 faculty studies, 45 of them on the ground floor, occupied by faculty members and graduate students. Twenty research studies are in the three departments of Spencer-University Archives, the Kansas Collection and Special Collections on projects needing constant use of the resources available in the departments.
Malinowski said he was uneasy about the research studies at Watson because they represented "many seating areas we're depriving undergraduates."
Broad training helps teachers find work
Most teachers now have to assist with some kind of extracurricular activity, such as sports or drama, besides teaching classes, Regier said.
Students in the School of Education can enhance their chances of getting teaching jobs if they train in more than one area, or in another area of education placement, said yesterday.
Last year, 60 per cent of KU's approximately 500 graduates from the School of Education got jobs, although Regier said they weren't all jobs in teaching.
and economic pressures are forcing some school district to hire one teacher to fill two
Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas usually have a higher percentage of employed education graduates than other states, so the competitive academic competition is greater here, he said.
In 1972, 782 students a record high,
graduated from the school. That number
remains unchanged.
Bad publicity could be a reason for that decrease, Virginia Musgrave, director of placement for Emporia Kansas State College, said.
Academic areas with a great demand for teachers now are learning disabilities,
Reports often state that there is an oversupply of teachers, Musgrave said, but that oversupply isn't in all areas of teaching.
Editorial award to Free Press
The Detroit Free Press has won the top citation for editorial excellence in 1978 from the Chicago Journal.
The Free Press won the sweepstakes award for three editorials it published last August during the height of summer violence in Detroit. The foundation cited the group outlining a "mature, solid way" for the community to recover from the violence.
The Free Press entry was also judged best among newspapers with a circulation of more than 50,000. Winners in other in-circulation groups were the Arlington Heights (IL). Herald, the North Platte (Neb.) Telegraph and the Sheridan (Wo). Press.
Winners were selected by faculty members the William Allen White School of memorialism.
Panels approve ban on chrome
WASHINGTON  (UPI) - Legislation banning all U.S. imports of Rhodesian maize and wheat House subcommittee yesterday after U.K. Ambassador Andrew Young warned that further delay on the issue could cause violence to spread throughout southern Africa.
The bill approved by the House International Relations subcommittees on Africa and international organizations would repeal legislation by which the United States has imported Rhodesian chrome since the Johnson administration despite United Nations economic sanctions against Rhodesia.
Competitive fields include physical education and social sciences.
Mary Martin, specialist in the State Department of Education's teacher education unit for post-secondary administration, said those people who weren't getting jobs were unwilling to go where the jobs were.
special education, speech therapy and school psychology. Reiler said.
Martin said that people were moving from inner cities to suburbs, decreasing the number of vacant land.
Last spring, representatives from 27 school districts came to KU and interviewed 483 prospective teachers. This year, the number to visit the campus was the same number to visit the campus.
MALNOWSKY said the faculty studies situation was different at Spencer. It has a closed circulation policy so researchers don't get lost in space, and it's not a lack of space for readers at Spencer.
Mason said she thought the Spencer studies were worthwhile because researchers often said the private rooms were valuable for research work.
The Association of Research Libraries, an organization of the nation's larger academic libraries, including KU, recommends that university libraries accommodate at least 25 per cent of their students. At Watson, less than half that percentage can be accommodated by the available study and research space.
Malinsky said the Watson studies, added to the building in the early 1960s, catered to a small group of people who had legitimate needs.
"IN THE '60s we had enough reading space and enrollment wasn't as high as it is."
But Malinowski has his biggest concern to accommodate the general student.
All the faculty studies are now occupied and both libraries have waiting lists of researchers who want private rooms. Some of the rooms are assigned to two or three researchers whose schedules allow them to use the rooms at different times.
But, Malinowsky the studies aren't used heavily enough. He said that about half the rooms were in constant use, but that the other half were used infrequently.
Mason said that some researchers used the rooms every day at Spencer but that generally the use depended on a researcher's schedule.

SHE SAID KU had few places where a researcher could work uninterrupted. For example, if a faculty member is in his office, he could be interrupted by telephone calls she said.

Faculty studies in both libraries lack telephones and researchers aren't supposed to use them.
"No one can reach them in the studies," Mason said. But librarians will contact
Each study has a desk, a chair, a book-case and a wakebasket.
Faculty studies are available by application. An application form asks for a description of the research project, the resources used, the time needed for the project and the frequency with which a study room will be used.
The 45 faculty studies at Spencer are assigned on a semester basis. The 20 Spencer department studies and the Watson department studies are not of time the project will take to complete
The studies are open during library hours.
