court ruling in a lawsuit

Kinko's store by Basic Books
publishing < ornpany
If a copier wants to use more
ilnin 25o words, permission
must bo obtained from the
copyright holder Local copiers
say this creates a costly, time
consuming hassle
"It used to lie a 24-hour pro
cess" to get permission and
make up a par ket, Gibson said
But with the time it takes to get
permission from each author
whoso work is in a packet,
"Now it’s four weeks
As a result, professors find it
more difficult to get class mate
rials printed, and students find
that user fees charged by pub
lishers add 10 percent to 15
percent to the cost of a packet,
said Wayne Merritt, director of
the University's printing ser
vices.
Student Paul Bonine said he

handwritten pages for 89 cents.
"The professor was really
mad" about the cost, he said
"They think they're being
ripped off "
Gibson said he has heard stu
dents say that tilings are differ
ent from last your, but Merritt,
who worked at Campus Copy
during the hectic first week of
tins term, said lie heard only
one complaint
"I've heard no great outcry,”
Merritt said
"I think they're so relieved at
getting through the line,” he
joked.
What boosts the cost of pack
ets so much, Gibson said, is the
work it takes to track down
copyright holders and get their
OK to copy the work. Campus
Kinko's employs a full-time
worker just to get permission,
and once granted, it often
comes at a cost.
"It s much more labor-inten
sive," he said, and publishers
"who have not been charging
royalties in the past are now
charging."
In July, in response to the
Kinko's lawsuit, the Universi
ty's printing services created a
copyright clearance department
to handle copyright issues for
the BOO or 900 classes that use
packets, Merritt said
So far this term, the depart
ment has cleared 59 percent of
the approximately -180 packets
it produced and has paid about
$10,000 in publishers' fees.
A $9.95 per-packet royalty
fee was the highest that pub
ic-hers have levied, but. Merritt
said, such a hefty fee is rare.
Usually, he said, they don't run
more than a dollar or two, and
most publishers don't charge at
all.
Kinko’s now pays royalties
on about 90 percent of its mate
rials, compared with -to percent
during its pre-lawsuit days,
Gibson said.
"Wo are scrutinizing every
article that comes In," he said
As a result, campus Kinko's has
reduced Us stuff from 42 em
ployees to 20 to help compen
snte for the extra cost of copy
right clearance.
“It has changed for every
body, but we're the ones that
are the fcx:al point,'' he said
Merritt said ho expects pub
lishers will eventually agree to
c harge a flat foe for each work
to keep their own costs down
Since the spring decision,
many publishers have been
forced to hire more stall mem
bers to deal with the flood of
roquosts for permission that
they have boon receiving from
schools around the country.
Nearly 500 shops a day could
call from the Kinko's chain
alone, Gibson said.
"They're being driven mud
by the number of of people try
ing to get copyright clearance,1'
Merritt said.
But in the meantime, the long
process of getting approval
frustrates many people, includ
ing professors who must wait
longer for paekots and, in some
cases, are not able to assign all
the readings they would like
University Professor Arthur
Hanhardt said getting copyright
clearance is inconvenient, par
ticularly for classes that require
"up-to-the-minute kinds of re
sources'' such as the political
science courses Hanhardt
teaches It can "make it very
difficult," he said.
Hanhardt predicted that the
crackdown on copyrights may
lead professors to rely more
heavily on books lor instruc
lion, or they may put mon
books on reserve in the library
for students to check out
Another way to avoid the
copyright hassle, he said, is to
rely on the writings of friends
in the same academic field But
even that sometimes poses a
problem, he said, if, for exam
ple, the author does not own
the copyright to his or her
work.

Sinai ore said Springfield citi
zens should tie concerned that
some City Council members are
pushing a Christian agenda,
though not all Springfield resi
dents are Christians.
In another Aug. G li-mail
message, council member Wal

more involvement than singing
against the 'spirits of darkness'
tl Christians are going to claim
or maintain Springfield as their
own town."
"What happened to the sepa
ration of church and state?"
Sinacoro asked.
Sinai ore said the Human
Rights Commission would not
have tried to make gay and les
bian rights an issue.
"They (commission mem
bers) are political realists," he
said. “Cay rights is a hot but

Sinacoro said the throe
councilors used the divisive
gay and lesbian rights issue to
garner support for themselves
"The sad part is that the cit\
of Springfield is now focusing
on gay rights when they should
be focusing on what these

he said.
"These gentlemen still have
