Terminals to link KU with schools across the nation

Humanities students and faculty in Wescoc Hall soon will be able to collect data from libraries across the country, ever having to leave the building.
"The library will fund the installation," Cunningham said. "The departments themselves will be ongong maintenance charges."
that she had received a dozen requests for terminals and that she expected at least a dozen more. She said that Center had an office in the terminals.
"KU's system is hooked into universities in just about every state," Miller said. "If you want to find out how the skiing is going to be in Colorado, you can call up a weather file from a university there."
Steven Maynard Moody, chairman of the University Senate Library Committee, said the terminals would be accessible to faculty and students. He said this move was the least the University should be doing in regard to automation.
John Miller, automation librarian for University libraries, said that several departments, including English, history and philosophy, would receive terminals in Fall 1990 that would link them to the Campus Packet Switch Network.
Jeanne Cunningham, computer services network supervisor, said
"KU needs to have all students and faculty connected to the network," he said. "The library is falling behind in research capacity. This is a big issue for the University."

Wayne Mayo, director of the public library, said KU and the public library employees began talking about the project more than a year ago.
Installation was not as quick or as smooth as planned, Nordland said. It took two to three people about three days to install the computer and get it running. They still were working out a few minor technical problems this week.

City looks for sources of revenue
By Kathryn Lancaster Kansan staff writer

Because land values increased last year, the city, in an effort to keep taxes from skyrocketing, reduced its mill levy, or the percent of tax the city could assess. The lower mill levy resulted in reducing the amount of tax the city could collect for automobiles.
Before discussing plans for the city's 1991 budget, Lawrence city commissioners heard tough talk about the future yet another yearday in a study session.
In addition, the city is losing thousands of dollars because people are challenging assessed property values, Wilden said. The loss to date is $18,000 with about one-fourth of the appeals heard.
Wilden said there were many alternatives to be considered. Options include requiring residents to purchase city automobiles, self-supporting city funds. The parking meter, utility and sanitation funds all operate on revenue generated by their own services.
The city has no way of predicting what the total loss will be, Wilden said. But the money will have to be made up somewhere.
