KING LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON, KY. 40506-0039 H -1- FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Happy Valentine's Day! Part of the duty of the gg editor is to look at similar newsletters from other libraries. Some are a bit (yawn) dull, and others are really...um...different. For example, Florida International University's Library publishes an unusual (to say the least!) newsletter called “Top of the Stacks." Most of it is like the gg, but one little item, called "A Day Off?," is a multipurpose tidbit. So here it is, my Valentine chuckle to you, by way of Florida. V ~KK A Day Off? [Top of the Stacks v.10(6), February 1986, p.8.] So you want the day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for. There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have two ‘ days off per week, leaving 261 days available I for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days still available. You spend 20 minutes each day on coffee break. That accounts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. with a one hour lunch iperiod each day, you have used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leave you only 20 days available for work. We are off for 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 · days. We generously give you 14 days vacation per year, which leaves only 1 day available for work, and [you want a] day off! ` ABOVE AND BEYOND...

Thanks! A `Sincerely, Lisa M. Carpenter Lexington Child Abuse Council, Inc. I -2- ACTS NEWS Paul Willis received the following letter dated January 22, 1986: Mr. Willis, . The ACTS Executive Committee respectfully requests you help in communicating to the appropriate officials our objections concerning recent developments affecting the availability of parking for staff. We refer to the construction beginning in the A-B Lot at Rose and Columbia Streets. As a group elected to represent the technical and clerical staff of the Margaret I. King Libraries, we feel that we must voice the considerable distress caused by this change. Concerns over the present situation encompass the reduction of available space, poor access and dangerous exit, and erratic lighting. There is also concern about the inadequate warning to the staff, that construction was about to begin. We realize that the current situation is not solely a problem for library personnel, but reflects a campus wide shortage of parking, which demands a comprehensive solution. It is our aim, as a representative committee, to: l. Lodge a complaint on behalf of the library , clerical and technical staff. 2. Convey any information to our assembly as to plans being made to remedy the inconveniences of the present parking _ situation. 3. Obtain information regarding alternative parking at the present time.
