physical place called a birthing room," he said.
LMH allows husbands in the room during both normal births and Caesarean sections. Brothers and sisters of the new baby may visit.
Buck also said he did not think there were enough Lawrence women who would use the room.
"Is it fair that the 90 percent who don't use the room should have to pay for the 10 percent who do?" he asked.
Car chase yields soaked camera
The Birthing Room Support Group hopes to prove the hospital wrong on that point.
A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper "spotted a camera I knew didn't belong" in a car he stopped early yesterday morning on the Kansas turnpike.
Sue Elink, co-chairman of the group, said the boycotters would have an organizational meeting tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Room of the Lawrence Public Library.
Trooper Ronnie Barnhards said the car's two occupants drove away while he was checking their identification.
Barnhardt chased the car about two and a
half miles before it went out of control and ran into a pond near the Lawrence Service Area.
The car's occupants then fled the scene leaving the watersoaked camera, valued at $3,200. behind.
The camera had been stolen from the Drivers License Examiner station in the National Guard Armory.
To provide information to consumers before they make purchases, the Consumers Affairs Association has set up a small library that serves KU students and Lawrence residents.
Consumer help available to students at new library
"We want people to educate themselves before they purchase anything." Cynthia Wilson, consumer coordinator said yesterday the office was closed and the office until after they have a problem.
The library, located in the association's office at 819 Vermont St., is funded in part by a comprehensive Employment Training Center and provides consumer information center in Lawrence.
The library's books cover subjects ranging from home repairs and credit
discrimination to job resumes and Kansas statutes that affect consumers.
The library also subscribes to Consumer Reports, Changing Times, Mother Earth News and other consumer magazines and pamphlets.
According to Wiles, the current library lacks organization and space. She said she was setting up a filing system to make finding information easier.
The association's case files are another source of information for Lawrence consumers.
"If someone wants to check out a business or store before buying a product, the files are available for research." Wiesa said.
The files are open to the public, and they contain information about past complaints the association has received, she said.
State seeks environmental issues
Eight thousand surveys will be mailed to state citizens in February in an effort by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to uncover Kansans' environmental concerns, according to James W. Anderson, the Kansas Division of Environment.
The surveys will be the first step by the state and the Environmental Protection Agency, in forming a battle plan for solving the problem of air pollution and hazardous waste disposal.
"We plan to get as much public response we can, schedule an event and March," Power said recently. "We will work with the EPA in developing a list of problems to be dealt with and possible solutions."
The survey to be formulated this year will be the third such agreement between the Division of Environment and the EPA. The last two identified noise pollution and
carbon monoxide levels as concerns among Kansas citizens.
THE 189 survey already has resulted in solutions to certain problems, said Dan Valleo, environmental problems specialist for the EPA regional office in Kansas City, Mich.
"We discovered that there wasn't enough coordination between the state, the EPA and the Coast Guard in the event of a fire," Ms. Larson said. "I found that if a spill occurred, the three organizations would be tripping all over the area and I would follow the individual emergency plans."
The state and the EPA worked together to make one plan for all three, he said.
"Now each group knows what it's supposed to do should a hazardous waste spill occur," Vallero said.
"The survey insures that important
problems are not missed," Vallero said.
"Sometimes it happens that problems escape our notice.
"Naturally, before we can do anything, we have to find out what the problems are. Each year we try to discover problems and solve them, and then cooperate on the solutions."
THE AGREEMENT for 1981 will outline five-year plans for dealing with the problems uncovered, Vallero said. The two teams attempted to find solutions within a year.
"We found out that most of the things we wanted to correct required long-term solutions," he said. "From now on, our students will be based on multi-year solutions."
Air pollution in urban areas, he said, was an example of a problem that required more than just coordination of existing programs.
"We found out that four cities in Kansas—Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, and Lawrence—were above the maximum allowable stands for six pollutants.
"Part of our program has been to work with other groups that pollutants or at least make sure they don't get worse, and part of it involves keeping other parts of the state from reaching those areas."

PROBLEMS identified in the agreement for 1980, Power said, included the control of soil erosion and urban storm runoff.
"Both of those are examples of problems we'll deal with over a fairly long period of time," powers said. "The urban runoff problem is now only in the research stage."
Persons who want to suggest environmental problems that need attention, Valero said, may contact the Division of Health and Environment in Topeka.

Present law school tuition rates draw criticism, may be changed

By JON BLONGEWICZ Staff Reporter
An extra $50 that was added to law school tuition in the mid 1980s to finance an increase in faculty salaries is no longer serving its purpose, according to a report by several law students to Rabbi E. Chirchner, vice chancellor for academic affairs.
The report was expected to be discussed by administrators yesterday, but it failed to make the agenda. Christoffersen said, "The president was in favor of eliminating the higher tiers."
One of the complaints raised by the report charged that the money that was made from higher tuition was not being allocated to the law school.
Christofferse confirmed the charge and said that the $50 difference in tuition went into the general fee fund.
The report, which was researched by four students last fall and presented to Christian University that the difference in the tuition be eliminated or rechained into the law
ACCORDING TO the report, during the first year of the higher tuition, faculty
salaries at the law school did increase, placing the school in the top fifth of the nation in median salaries.
But, the report says, while revenue increased because of increased enrollment, faculty salaries became less competitive and faculty positions approved by the American Basket Association.
When tuition was increased, faculty salaries at all schools of law were higher than those in high school, schools the report says. Now more than half the ABA schools have higher median
Steve Lehen, one of the students who researched the report, said law students believed that the law school faculty salaries should be based on merit rather than on a degree.
THE LAW students also said that as they paid more for tuition, the University paid less to educate them, compared to other graduate students.
The report says the University's costs for the education of each law student are $61.21 per credit hour. The University's costs for mathematics graduate students and physical science graduate students are$ 37.09 and $37.49 per credit hour in the report.
