Library reduces available material By Kristine Long Staff Reporter Students who plan to do research at the University of Ncbraska-Lincoln libraries this year may not find what they arc looking for — but not be cause they get lost in the stacks. Cathy Whitney-Vuchetich, a stu dent representative on the Academic Senate’s library committee, said UNL’s libraries were losing research materials at a drastic rale, als at a drastic rale. Students should be concerned about what’s happening in the libraries and take action to stop it, she said.' > Kent Hendrickson, dean of librar ies, said the Love and C. Y. Thompson libraries had lost about 1,000 sub scriptions since last year. . Five years ago, the libraries sub scribed to about 18,700 serials (jour- v, nals, magazines and newspapers), he said, but this year, the library could afford only 17,000. “This is the third time in the last five years that we had to make sub stantial cuts,” Hendrickson said. “And we will probably have to make more cuts in the future.” But he said UNL was not the only university with this problem. “It’s going on around the country,” he said. The main reason for the loss is that . inflation has risen 12 percent to 14 percent each year, and IJNL libraries nave not received any budget in creases, Hendrickson said. ' The libraries try to help students get more materials through the intcrlibrary loan system, but it often takes too long to locate materials, he said. v Whiuicy-Vuchetich agreed that the system was too slow. She said it took* her six months to get resources through the intcrlibrary loan system. Whitncy-Vucheiich said she had approached the Nebraska Legislature about the problem but that no action had been taken. She said she wished more-people • were concerned about the library’s importance in education. “1 feel like it’s my education, I’m paying for it, and I should have a say in what goes on in the library,” she said. Recycle Continued from Page 1 1989. It has been responsible for some of the recycling efforts on campus, including recycling containers in the Nebraska Union and brochures to educate residence hall students about recycling and reducing waste. “In general, the key thing is an education campaign that accompa nies any implementation of a recy cling program,” Riggcrt said. “We’d like to spur and spark people into thinking more holistically about the environment around them.” POLICE REPORT Beginning midnight Tuesday 7:37 a.m. — Plants stolen outside of Schramm Residence Hall, $ 175. 12:03 p.m. — Meiers stolen, park ing lot south of Memorial Stadium, $1,200. 2:27 p.m.—Vehicle hood dented, parking lot at 19th and R streets, $550. 3:36 p.m. — Two-vehicle acci dent, parking lot at 14th and Avery streets, $1,500. 4:08 p.m. — Two-vehicle acci dent, parking lot at Abcl-Sandoz Residence Hall, $25. 6:54 p.m. — $10 stolen, Pound Residence Hall. 10:13 p.m.—Bicycle stolen, Love Memorial Hall, $315.

In other action, the senate passed a bylaw that put Sigerson in charge of appointing members to ihc Park ing Advisory Committee. Previously, the ASUN Appoint ments Board chose the members. “Though the appointments board is really competent, they’re really busy,” Loudon said. Parking is one of Sigerson’s top priorities, Loudon said. Sigerson also announced plans to give a Slate of the Campus ad dress Sept. 23. “I’m not copying Spanicr,” Sigerson said, referring to Spanicr ’ s Slate of the University address. “I thought of the idea first.” Sigerson said his speech would show how the senate is progressing towards fulfill ing its platform prom ises.
