Library ‘busting at the seams’

By SUZANNE REESE
Staff Writer

Three years ago UK’s library
system celebrated receiving its 2
millionth volume. But as the num-
ber of volumes increase, UK’s Ii-
braries are running out of study
space for students.

“The building is currently pop-
ping at the seams; we‘re limited by
the building’s size," said Judy
Brown, head of circulation at Mar-
garet I. King Library. “But to some
extent this is a problem. The li-
brary gets very crowded at night,
especially during exam time."

A library student advisory com-
mittee has been formed to deal with
the problem, but according to SGA
Senator at Large Allen Putman, the
King Library has a long way to go
before it catches up with national
standards.

“According to national standards
(the King Library) is 111,87I
square feet short in space and 3000
study carols short," said Putman,
who is a member of the Library
Student Advisory Committee.

LSAC, which also includes UK
Library Director Paul Willis, fo-
cuses on problems students have
with the library system and tries to
resolve the problems.

One of the most pressing needs
is additional study space.

“If there’s room and funding, I’d
love to do whatever I can to get
more study space for the library

Condoms

By TUESDAY GEORGES

Talk about one—stop shopping.

Many university students who
are short on potato chips, Ding
Dongs and candy bars can pick
them up in the nearest university
vending machine. Now, a coin in
the slot will also buy a packet of
condoms.

Condoms were placed in the
same vending machine as candy at
some universities when the regular
condom machines were broken
into, and in some cases, torn from
the wall.

Students have mixed views
about study areas around "am-
pus.

“I don't think there is enough
study space in the (Margaret 1.
King Library) because every
time I walk through, the tables
are full," said sophomore Donna
Randall.

Senior Jim Metts, however,
said he has little problem find-
ing a place to study.

“I think there is plenty of
space (to study in the King Li-
brary)," Metts said. “The carols

 

Overcrowded conditions force
some students to find alternatives

upstairs give a lot of study space
and privacy and hardly anyone
goes up there."

Senior Annette Baldwin said
she prefers the comforts of her
apartment to the hassles of find-
ing a place in the King Library.

Other students have found al~
ternatives to studying in the
King Library.

“1 like to study outside, when
it's pretty," said graduate student
Gail Mitchell, “but most of the
time I study in the (Edward
Warder Rannels Fine Arts Li-
brary.) The King Library can get
really noisy, especially around
finals time.”

 

 

through the Library Student Advi-
sory Committee," Putman said.

The Margaret 1. King Library has
about 905 study areas. Willis said
more study space is needed. but fis-
cal and financial constraints make Il
difficult to increase the amount
study space.

“We definitely need tnore study
space and we will take all the help
we can get, frorn any source." Wil-
Iis said.

The University has asked for a

new library building to be added
onto the King Library in its bienni-
al request to the state, but Willis
acknowledges with the lean fiscal
conditions the state faces, the Uni-
versity may have a hard time get—
ting funding tor the building.

“Clearly it‘s not going to be an
easy thing to do," he said.

King Library recently received
about 150 chairs for study tables

“This year, the university put
condoms in the vending machines,“
said Kathleen Matthews, director of
health education at the University
of Minnesota in Minneapolis “We
decided to take this approach be-
cause somc schools were having
problems with the machines being
vandalized or not working proper-
Iy.”

University of Minnesota students
can purchase three condoms for a
dollar from vending machines at all
eight of their residence halls and in
all three student unions.

Dick Ottemess, vending manager
at the University of Minnesota said
the school sells front 10 to 15 con-

Most condom machines are srnali
white boxes resembling a medicine
cabinet. Its small construction
makes it easy to vandalizc.

Vending machines, however, are
large and sturdy and not as suscepti-
ble to vandalism.

University offtcrals .say that even
though some people argue that put-
ting food and condoms in the same
dispenser is tasteless, they have no
other easy altemative.

Couch having no regrets over choice

By BARRY REEVES
Sports Editor

UK defensive guard Joey Couch
used to have an identity problem
during his days
at Paintsville
High School.

First, there
was Joey Couch
the football
player who let-
tered four times,
led his team in
tackles three of
those years and _
was an all-area
selection all COUCH
four years. And he was named the
Most Valuable Defensive Player in
the Kentucky-Tennessee All-Star
football game.

But there also was Joey Couch
the basketball player who lettered
four years and was named All-
District and All-Region twice. And
he is one of only a few players to
also play in the Kentucky—Indiana
All-Star basketball games.

“Back in high school, I had to
shift gears after every season was
over because the next season was
about to start." said Couch, a soph-
omore hospital administration ma-
jor. “I never really could concen-
trate on one sport because of that.“

But the decision to play football
in college was easily made.

“The best scholarship offers 1 got
were from football," said Couch.
who has recorded 51 tackles this
year. “And I guess I sort of enjoyed
playing football more."

But Couch has not totally said
goodbye to his “other” sport. He is
currently taking a onc
