Survey polls library's problems
By KATHY GANNON Staff Reporter
By KATHY GANNON
The deficiencies of the University of Kansas library system have been widely discussed, but one University professor has said to do more than just discuss the problems.
Wallace Johnson, associate professor of East Asian Studies, has devised a questionnaire to find out what the library system needs to better serve the University. Johnson said last week he hoped the results of the survey would help make library improvement the University's top priority.

Johnson said he became more aware of the library's problems last year when he returned to China thought his students told him that they had copies of some of the books they needed, that there weren't enough copies of others and that some had been misplaced or
In a 1975 report, library officials said the number of volumes added to the library's collections had dropped by a third since 1965. The report also indicated that U.S. publications had increased by 26,000 a year from 1963. The increase in additions constituted an ever-diminishing proportion of the total of currently published books."
The questionnaire asks students and faculty members to list the courses they have taken or taught that have been administered by the condition of the library system.
"IF THEY are courses that can't be effectively taught because of an insufficient number of books, something has to be done." Johnson said.
Johnson's survey also asks library users to identify other library problems, including too few open hours, inadequate study space and a dearth of library staff.

Johnson distributed about 3,000 surveys at the end of last month.
SOME FACULTY members are passing the surveys out in their classes and copies are available at the checkout desks of the building, which offer libraries and in the Kansas Union lobby.
Johnson said he hoped to present the results of his research to the advisory authority appointed by the end of March.
"The survey may uncover some new problems well want to look into immediately."
Earl Heyser, chairman of the University senate Library Committee, said Johnson's report on the proposed law was
Four library surveys have been conducted in recent years: three by the Staff Library Improvement Committee in 1973, 1974 and 1975; and one by the University Senate Library Committee in 1974. These survey affirmed and reaffirmed the

SPEED READING CLASS TO BE TAUGHT IN LAWRENCE
Huyser said, "This year, the administration, Board of Regents and the legislature have been very receptive to changes in such a need for immediate space."
This famous course has taught many thousands of people to read over 1000 words per minute with the ability to understand and retain what they have read much more effectively. Average graduates can read most novels in less than one hour.
For complete details about this famous speed reading course be sure to attend one of the free one hour orientation lectures that have been scheduled. These lectures are open to the public, above age 16. persons under 18 should be accompanied by a parent, if possible. Students will be trained in complete detail, including class schedules, instruction procedures and a tuition that is much less than similar courses.
The United States Reading Lab Mid-West Division is offering their famous speed reading course to a limited number of qualified people here in the Lawrence area. The average person who completes this course can read 10 times faster, and with substantially improved comprehension and better concentration.
Classes are limited and class places will be filled on first come-first serve basis only. Be sure to attend the first meeting possible to ensure a class place. Group meetings may be held.
