Financial problems bind Library
By DEBBIE HOWLETT
Of ttw Emaratd
Editor's note The University Librarj
is celebrating its centennial anniver
sary this year This is the last of t
three-part series
The University Library is feeling th«
same financial pinch as many othei
departments
We re hedging all bets because o
financial problems." says Librariar
George Shipman
The last library addition was built ir
1966, and space has disappeared as
new books continue to be shelved
The library has increased its 196€
collection of 900,000 volumes by al
most 70 percent
Shipman says he is currently work
ing on a list of building inadequacies
and staff deficiencies for discussion
purposes
"We need to build a case for sub
stantial expansion of the physica
facilities," Shipman says, adding thal
"the library is lacking from 30 to 4C
classified staff positions
"But there are a number of hoops to
jump through You can't solve these
problems overnight."
As for long-range plans, Shipman
says “we have just about every prob
lem you could name ”
Depite the gloom, Shipman says the
library is "surprisingly good" in quali
ty and quantity Gene Barnes, the
aquisitions librarian who retired last
year, "did a terrific job in building an
outstanding collection," he says
Shipman says he agrees with his
tory Prof Richard Brown, who said
earlier this week that the library needs
more benefactors like Henry Villard, a
wealthy railroad magnate who donat
ed money to the library in the early
1900s
Shipman says private sources
could raise needed money for the
library For example, a $33,000 dona
tion from former track and field coach
Bill Bowerman was used to buy eight
microfilm readers
The library also received some
funding from the Blackwell Group, a
publishing firm in the United States
and abroad, to celebrate the centen
nial This funding is supplemented
with grants from the Oregon Commit
tee for the Humanities
A series of lectures and exhibits will

director David Stockman has
denied its existence
A seminar today will discuss
the political and economic
problems posed by acid rain —
wind-borne emissions that fall
back to Earth as dry gases or
particles and combine with
precipitation to form acids
Demands for immediate
checks on industrial emissions
are becoming highly vocal, par
ticularly since state and national
boundaries often are involved
Vet high-acidity rainfall is be
ing discovered in very remote
locations around the globe, and
acid-forming processes still are
poorly understood
David Albritton, program
leader for atmospheric sam
pling at the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administra
tion in Boulder, Colo will speak
on acid rain and current re
search being done to explain
the phenomenon
The seminar will be given at
