Library proposal promises increased efficiency

BY WILLIAM A. PATTERSON
Kernel Reporter

The time required to check out
books from the Margaret I. King
Library may be dramatically
reduced if a proposal for a new
computerized check out system is
approved.

The proposal to purchase the
system was submitted to UK
president Dr. Otis A. Singletary
Aug. 13, according to Director of
Libraries Paul Willis.

The new system would use a mini
computer with a light pen to read the
book’s identification number and the
student’s identification number.
This would cut the time necessary to
check out a book from the present
three minutes to 10 seconds, ac-
cording to the proposal.

Initiating the new system should
cut the number of student com-
plaints, Willis said. Most complaints
about the present system come from
“people who do not use the library a
lot,” said Jeff Sauer, assistant head
of circulation. He added, “This is not
a good system but it is the best we
have right now.”

PPD predicts a warm winter for UK

BY KIM YELTON
Kernel Reporter

Cold weather will not take UK by
surprise this winter, according to
James Wessels. director of the
Physical Plant Division. He said
energy supplies at the University
are plentiful enough to last through
the winter.

Thatdoes not mean, however, that
UK has enough to burn without
conserving, Wessels said. “We shut
off air conditioning when the major
user is out of the building.”

In the ClaSroom Building the air
conditioning is shut off after the last
class at night and at 5 pm. in the
Patterson Office Tower. “It doesn’t
make the building hot,” Wessels
said, “just a little uncomfortable."

This practice is not peculiar to
UK. “Everybody is almost forced to
do this because of the cost,” he said.
Electricity costs three times as
much as coal and natural gas and
UK has spent $2 million on elec-
tricity this year, according to
Wessels.

Until April of this year, natural
gas was the cheapest energy supply
the University could use. “Then coal
prices began to drop and natural gas
prices began to go up,” Wessels
said. Oil is now twice the cost of coal
and gas.

UK gets its fuels from Columbia
Gas of Kentucky. Wessels said he
does not foresee any problems in

getting extra supplies from them
this‘winter.

“They are in much better shape

than some (utilities) up East. If they
cut back on our gas, then we’ll use
coal and fuel last. We’ll also buy
some (coal) as we go along,” he
added, “because we don’t want our
supply to go down to nothing.”

Coal, gas and oil are burned to
generate steam. This steam is
transmitted through a maze of
underground pipes that run across
campus from the Reynolds Building
to the Complex and from the
Lexington Technical Institute to
Memorial Coliseum.

Wessels is optimistic because he
said UK can burn these different
kinds of fuels. “In past years we’ve
had problems where we’ve just used
coal and we’d run out. Now the
University has two boilers to burn
coal and four that burn gas or oil,”

Besides speeding check out times,
the proposed system would offer
many additional benefits to both
students and library staff members.
Book recalls would be faster and
more efficient by immediately
locating the book and borrower with
the aid of a viewing terminal on a
direct line hook-up with the com-
puter, the proposal states.

The automated system would also
inform circulation employes to deny
borrowing privileges to anyone who
abuses the system.

Errors could be greatly reduced
by eliminating much of the human
element involved in the current
system, Willis said. Misfiling of
charge cards would be reduced so
thatfewer titles are temporarily lost
and book losses would be reduced by
eliminating illegible names and
address on charge cards.

Another advantage of the system
is that frequently used books could
be monitored for wear. Projected
life expectancy of frequently with-
drawn books could be estimated and
these books could be reordered
before the volumes become
umsable.

The new system, if approved, will
replace the current system, which

time consuming, the current

is much easier for the circulation
department than the old system of
checkout cards in the back of each
book, Willis said.

/

An initial expenditure of about
$175,000 is necessary to purchase the
computer system, according to
Willis. In addition to UK, the
University of Lou'sville is also
considering purchasing the same
system, Willis said.

Professor passes the helmet

to help Rape Crisis Center

Spurred by the financial plight of
the Lexington Rape Crisis Center, a
UK sociology professor “passed the
hat" in his classes yesterday to help
raise funds for the center.

Michael Brooks, who teaches
Sociology 152, said he read an
editorial in Tuesday’s Kernel
describing the center’s need for
$1 ,402 in order to qualify for a badly
needed $21,000 federal grant.

He said he was discussing matters
related to the center in his classes
and asked someone to start a
collection, which was “purely
anonymous and voluntary,” ac-
cording to Brooks.

In his afternoon class, which has
90 students, someone offered up a
motorcycle helmet and $47.35 was
collected.

doubt they will be for coal. Utility-

In his evening class, Brooks
collected about $35.

“I just wanted to help," Brooks
said. “My interest is to see it (the
center) encai raged a nd preserved."

Brooks, who taught at the
University of Tennessee before
coming to UK this fall, checked “to
see if there are any University or
state laws against” taking up a
collection

He said there is no reason why he
couldn‘t pass the hat. “Fourteen
hundred dollars is a little amount to
let a good program wither or get
caught in bureaucracy," he said.

“It’s like the old saying, ‘The
problem with the times is that
nobody gives a damn about apathy.’
You‘ve got to start somehwere."

Donovan scholar forced to retire;

officials say she’s too old to teach

BY MARK REDMON
Kernel Reporter

The forced retirement of Donovan
Program art teacher Theresa
Newhoff was subject to criticism
during a recent Donovan Scholar
orientation session for new scholars.

Donovan schola rs are UK students
65-years-old or older. At the
orientation session, several scholars
said the University's action to retire
Newhoff was contrary to the nature
of the Donovan program. '

Newhoff said. “It‘s not a matter of
losing the pay I received. It wasn‘t
that much really, but the irony of
forced retirement from a program

designed to serve older people does
bother me. I didn’t fight it at the
time, but I do feel it was ridiculous."

Acca‘din g to Newhoff, the director
of the Council on Aging, CR. Hager,
was not pleased about the man-
datory retirement. “At the same
time I was retired, Irene Hacock,
secretary for Special Council
Projects and asistant director of
the Writer’s Workshop, reached her
70th birthday and had to leave."

Although forced to quit teaching at
UK. Newhoff said she plans to teach
art classes at the Living Arts and
Science Center “in the later part of
September.”

“It too many show up for one
class, we’ll have to split them up into

two classes, each meeting weekly,"
Newhoff said.

In addition, Newhoff said she is
going to write a book on art. “It’s on
a subject I can‘t let out right now,”
she said. “I wrote a publisher
concerning the subject and he is
very interested."

In her 48 years of teaching,
Newhoff has taught art in all levels
of education, including' at Eastern
Kentucky University from 1967 to
1974. She has served as president of
the Lexirgton Art League, state
presidentof the National League of
Pen Women, president of the
Kentucky Art Education Association
and art cha'rperson of the Women’s
Club of Kentucky.

60 arrested as violence

disrupts London carnival

LONDON (AP) — Scotland
Yard’s top cop urged militant
black youths to “Cool it”
Tuesday after a night of
rioting at a West Indian
carnival. More than 450 per-
sons were injured, shops,
houses and restaurants looted
or damaged and 60 persons
placed under arrest.

The outbreak in London’s
Notting Hill area, heavily
populated by West Indian
immigrants, was the city’s
worst violence with racial
overtones in many years.
Community leaders feared it
would worsen relations be-

tween the almost exclusively

white police force and Lon-
don’s nonwhite immigrants.

“If I have a message to
everyone involved, it is: cool
it,” metropolitan police
commissioner Sir Robert
Mark told a news conference.
“It may seem melodramatic
to say this, but when temp-
eratures rise and bricks begin
to fly, it’s easy for someone to
lose his life.”

The violence broke out in
the closing hours of a three-
day carnival staged annually
for the past decade by West
Indians in Notting Hill.

Mark said about 150,000
revelers and about 1,600 po-
licemen were in Notting Hill,

a racially mixed neighbor-
hood, when the trouble erupt-
ed over a scuffle between
police and black youths. Scot-
land Yard said officers were
attacked by the youths who
tried to free an arrested
pickpocket on a crowded
street.

Scotland Yard said 60 per-
sons - 50 of them nonwhite -
were arrested and face a total
of 75 charges, including rob
bery, possession of offensive
weapons, theft, threatening
behavior and assault and
obstruction. Fifteen of those
arrested were juveniles, a
spokesman said.

Question of new government

for Paris may be on ballot

PARIS KY. (AP) — The
question of changing to a city
manager form of

government, first mentioned
in 1974, may show up on the
Nov. 2 ballot in Paris.

The Paris-Bourbon County
Chamber of Commerce,
which is spearheading a peti-
tion drive for the change,
says it has more voter sig-
natures than are required by
Kentucky law.

Deadline for the petition
drive is Sept. 2, and Cecil

Murray, executive director of
the chamber, said about 400
had been collected.

Under state law, petitioners
must submit a number of
signatures equal to 20 per
cent of the voters in the last
mayoral election.

Bourbon County Clerk
Betty Jo Denton Heick, said
that a special mayoral elec-
tion confuses the issue.

She explained that Mayor

' Douglas Castle was elected in

a special race held after the
death of his predecessor,

Emil Rains.

If the petition drive is based
on that race, the chamber
needs about 315 signatures,
Mrs. Heick said.

If the Rains’ election is the
basis of the petition drive, 405
signatures are needed.

Paris is governed now by
four commissioners and the
mayor, and the chamber
began its drive for a change
after the city commission
agreed to support the city
manager form of government
if the voters approved.

Judge rescinds court order

banning crowds on bus routes

LOUISVILLE (AP) — A fed-
eral judge Tuesday rescinded
3 year-old court order ban-
ning crowds of more than
three persons from gathering
along the routes of Jefferson
County school buses.

US. District Court Judge
James Gordon voided the
order which he imposed last
Sept. 6 after learning of a
meeting Monday night in
which civil rights, antibusing,
civic and community leaders
agreed to work toward a

peaceful opening of schools
Wednesday.

The meeting, the first of its
kind since court-ordered bus-
ing began here last year,
ended with a written state-
ment signed by Bob Deprez,
an antibusing leader, and
Lyman Johnson, a 70-year-old
long-time veteran of the civil
rights movement.

The statement advocated
the finding of “a peaceful
means to achieve the best

possible education.”

Gordon’s order said the
meeting Monday night re-
sulted in “public assurances
to the effect that the safety of
children en route to, from and
in attendance at the various
public schools...was of para-
mount importance and that
the children would be safe...

“Accepting these public as-
surances at full value,” Gor-
