K-State stages protest for library
About 100 Kansas State University students staged a sit-in in their library yesterday to protest what they considered inadequate library financing, a K-State student senator said.
By Chris Siron
Kansan staff writer
The 24-hour sit-in, scheduled to end at 8 a.m. today, was organized by the K-State Student Governing Association and a group called Students Helping Enhance Library Funding (SHELF).
The library normally closes at midnight, but library officials agreed to keep it open all night for the sit-in.
SHELF had proposed a $19-million project that would include constructing an addition to the library, renovating stack and lobby areas and expanding student seating from 750 units to 2,000.
Ray Kowalczewski, K-State sophomore and chairman of SHELF, said the group wanted to show Kansas
"A quality library reflects a quality university," Kowalczak said. We get a quality library, it will attract more grants and research."
He said the K-State library did not meet the Association of Research Libraries' registration criteria because it did not have enough money or space.
Jean McDonald, K-State library administrative services officer, said that about 75 students protested in the library yesterday afternoon.
That number increased to 100 before a student senate meeting in the library last night, said student senator Charlene Nichols.
McDonald said the library staff supported the protestors and their goals.
KU libraries bought about 40,000 books last year. Ranz said that number was low because more books were now being published but that the University was not able to increase its purchases proportionally.
its libraries. He said that the University was "very much underfinanced" but that the libraries have adequate resources considering the circumstances.
Jim Ranz, KU dean of libraries, said that he had no complaint with the University of Kansas' support of
KU libraries received about $9 million in University funds during fiscal 1889. About $3.5 million of that to library acquisitions, Ranz said.
The K-State library system, which consists of a main library and four campus branches, has seating for about 1,000 students, but KU libraries have seating for 2,500 to 3,000 students. The recent completion of the Anschutz Science Library and the planned addition to the engineering library in Spahr Hall ensure enough library space, Ranz said, but acquisition resources are insufficient for today's book market.
According to KU and KSU catalogs, KU libraries contain about 2.5 million books, and K-State libraries have about 1.1 million.
Ranz said KU students were concerned with library conditions. Student Senate twice in recent years approved budget increases to help pay for library acquisitions, Ranz said.
Ranz said he hoped the University would be able to pay for expanded computerized library services. He said only one-third of the library's books could be accessed through the library's computerized card catalog. He hoped to enlarge the computer files soon.

KU police plan expansion of blue phones
By Curtis Knapp
Kansan staff writer
Melissa Botterff, Olaina freshman,
won't take night classes because she
is uneasy about being on campus
after dark.
Although KU police patrol campus 24 hours a day and 13 blue emergency phones are situated in various areas, tentative plans call for installing phones in campus buildings to provide more security.
"As many incidents of violence that happen on campus at night, it would help," Botterff said.
A decision to install blue emergency phones in campus buildings was made in 1976 when the first phones were placed on campus.
Casey Trauer, Dodge City freshman, said that he never had worried about being on campus at night but that he could understand why some
people felt uncomfortable about it. He said he thought that putting phones in campus buildings would be beneficial.
"Anything that decreases the possibility of violence is a good idea," Trauer said.
According to police records, four rapes and five cases of sexual battery were reported to KU police in 1988. No raps were reported in 1989, and battery reports were unavailable.
installment of phones in campus buildings.
John Mullens, KU police lieutenant, said that there had not been a recent increase of rapes or other violence on campus to prompt the
Mullens said the decision to install phones in campus buildings was made when the first ones were placed
on campus in 1976.
"The University has wanted to expand but been limited by the cost," Mullens said. "The budget is now more able to handle the situation."
Blue phones are tied directly to the KU police department. When someone picks up the receiver, the phone rings there.
Mullens said that no date had been set for the installation and that he was uncertain about which buildings would get phones.
He said that the phone system would be improved and that the final configuration of the system was not yet determined.

If you want good health you've got to make exercise and a balanced diet part of your daily regimen.
The same holds true for your education. You've got to give it your all every day. Just as exercise requires the right equipment, so does making the grade at KU.
That's why I got myself a Macintosh. It allows me to store and analyze all kinds of information, calculations and formulas.
Trying to do that on any other personal computer system is like performing a major operation!"
