Main Library Science Library
By J.D. SqUILLANTE
Staff Writer
University libraries are so full
of knowledge that library officials
are hard-Dressed to find places
fomew volumes as space short
ages in both the science and main
libraries approach critical levels.
The space shortage is more se
vere in the science library, which
was constructed in 1968 to house
345,000 volumes and provide
seating for 1,200 students. Al
most twice as many books are
shelved in the science library
now and seating has been cut
drastically, said Library Services
Director William Potter.
The main library is holding an
additional 500,000 million vol
umes than it was built to accom
modate and also has less seating,
he said. The main library was
built in two phases, with the first
being completed in 1953 and the
second in 1974.
“We have real problems,”
Potter said. “Just ask anyone
who comes to the library and
looks for somewhere to sit.”
It could be 2010 before the
University will finance a new li
brary, University President
Charles Knapp said. A new li
brary is about sixth on the
priority list for capital construc
tion on campus. Projects ahead of
it include a new fine arts
building.
Potter said libraries will need
an additional 1,900 square feet of
space per year as new books are
ordered.
“So by the year 2000 well be
behind by 190,000 square feet,”
Potter said, “and that’s not in
cluding extra space like stair
wells.”
He said one square foot of
space is needed for every seven
volumes.
For the past few years, seating
areas have been sacrificed to ac
commodate more shelving areas,
but that creates a subsequent
shortage of seating areas.
“We need to lx? adding those
seats back,” Knapp said.
He said the University will
probably build a new building
that will house research books,
now in the main or science li
braries, that aren’t frequently
used.
“It’s not going to be an ar
chitectural monument by any
means,” Knapp said. “But it will
provide temporary storage areas
until a new library is built.”
He said the construction of a
new building, which would be
about 40,000 square feet, would
be financed through private do
nations.
The University Council Li
braries Committee examined a
number of options, including
renting extra storage space, be
fore deciding a new temporary
building would be the most cost-
effective way to remedy crowded
libraries.
“Well still own the building
when a new library is built,”
Knapp said, “so it can be con
verted to serve another purpose
later —like lab facilities.”
Space isn’t the only budgeting
problem faced by library officials.
According to a report issued by
the University Libraries Com
mittee, a 7 percent increase in
funding now is needed to cover
book purchases and the peri
odical budget next year.
An additional $100,000 will be
needed to meet the increase of
minimum wages for student
workers. Regular staff will re
ceive a proposed 4 percent salary
increase if it’s passed by the Uni
versity System Board of Regents
at its June meeting.
The University library system
is ranked 23rd out of the 106
members that make up the Asso
ciation of Research Libraries.
The total number of volumes,
new books ordered, total oper
ating budget and staff salaries
are the basis of the association’s
rankings.

CRESWELL
From page 1
In retaliation to her signs being
turned upside down, Fischer
posted a message on cardboard at
the entrance of the hall Monday
morning, warning others not to dis
turb doors on the hall.
Michelle Ferrell, resident assi-
tant on the hall, said she took the
sign down.
“I took the sign down; there’s no
call for sometfang like that. It’s
just going to provoke them. Not
only that, you just don’t walk
around putting up signs that other
people are going to start asking
questions about and blowing it out
body calmed down here. I’m
talking to them and telling them
that they’re blowing it out of pro
portion. I don’t want to see any
fighting going on,” Ferrell said.
Amhed said, ‘It seems to be
more of a Thursday night drinking
thing rather than anything racially
motivated."
The Creswell incidents came two
weeks after Teckchee Chew, an
Asian Myers Hall resident, told po
lice someone tore the screen off of
his window and threw eggs into his
room.
Kristen Bell, a freshman phys
ical therapy m^jor, said University
police were randomly questioning
students Tuesday in the Myers
community quad about it.
‘They just asked me if I was
around during the incident,” she
said.
John Davis, residence life coordi
nator for Myers community, said
he asked University Police Chief
Chuck Horton to increase the pa
trolling of the area.
The Racial Awareness Task
Force, formed in February after
Black History Month posters were
defaced, met last Wednesday for an
emergency meeting concerning the
incident involving Chew.
Graduate Assistant Margaret
Vanchiere said, “One of the things
that came out of this was to create
a neighborhood watch.”
