In today's word of self-help, people try to save money by filling up with self-service gasoline, shopping at bag-yourself stores and putting their hand at do-it-yourself home repairs.
The Lawrence Consumer Affairs Association is keeping pace with this trend by offering a consumer self-help program.
According to Clyde Chapman, program director, the program is designed to tell consumers how they can do things for themselves.
Chapman said Tuesday that a consumer research library was being started at the Lawrence Consumer Affairs office, 819 N. Washington Blvd., in Newark, where workshops also were being organized.
The consumer affairs office received a $25,000 grant last June to pay salaries for
three extra employees who will work on the new program.
Chapman said the library would be stocked with books, pamphils, magazines and a file system to help people with disabilities ranging from automobiles to appliances.
He said that about $1,000 of county revenue sharing money was available for buying the books, but that he was hoping to buy books in other schools, such as the city or the Student Senate.
The Consumer Affairs Association is currently funded by city and county revenue sharing funds, the Student Senate, the University College Training Act and private donations.
The consumer affairs office will be organizing workshops on home winterization, automotive repair and landlord-tenant contracts.
The workshops are expected to begin in
SUSIE HANNA, director of the Consumer Affairs Association, said the workshops would focus on practical information.
early October at the Lawrence Public Library.
She also said the workshops might enlist the aid of an auto mechanic, for example, or a local services representative.
"We are going to take people out and show them how to winterize a home," she said.
Chapman said that self-help always had been emphasized at the consumer affairs office and that consumers were responding well to this practice.
"We hope to avoid seeing the same consumers with the same problems again and again," Chaplain said. "The self-help groups have always have you done to resolve the problem."
People in jobs that historically have been given little training must learn to appreciate the value of respect in the job market. Barbara Hloom, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Center at Sage College, said:

secretarial field, but it doesn't really happen," she said. "A person is allowed to say, 'I'm just a secretary.'"
Bloom said people must learn to appreciate not only their own talent, but also the talents of others.
"Some people take it as an affront when other people do well," Bloom said. "They think, if they did that well, that must mean what I did was rotten."
"There's enough room in the world for all of us to do everything we do well and not impinge on anybody else's success."
"Self-appreciation is necessary in the

A new computer system at Watson Library will make possible the suspension of the library privileges of persons who fail to pay their fees. Mary Marshall, his clerk, has announced,

Late book policy bolstered
Marshall said that in the past, the library rarely suspended privileges because it had no way of identifying, at checkout time, persons with overdue books.
The new student identification cards, to be issued this month, will be the computer card for checking out books and for detecting persons with overdue materials. The computer system will inform the circulation team of persons by displaying a message on a terminal.
In addition, a security system to prevent thetels will be installed. Chill Haka, circulation librarian, said. Haka said he did not know when the system would be installed.
Another change under the new lending policy is that materials checked out may be recalled by the library if another student requests them.
The first holder will then have seven days to return the materials. The only way he can check them out again is by filling out a recipient slip when he brings the books back. When a book is on recip, it will be held for another day and the next patron or be returned to the shelf.
WHEN A STUDENT has kept library materials for two weeks and a second student requests them, the second patron should be instructed that the first holder will receive a recital notice.
If a person does not respond within seven days after receiving the recall notice, he will be charged $1 a day. Marshall said.
When the fine amounts to $10, library privileges will be suspended.
MATERIALS ALSO I$O may be recalled if an instructor wants to put them on reserve for a class. All item need for reserve may be reserved. Bayliss Harah, reserve librarian, said.
Library privileges will be regained after the material is returned or paid for and the fine is paid, Marshall said.
Anyone not affiliated with the University may have materials recalled from his possession immediately if a KU student or faculty member requests them.
The new lending code has a 30-day grace period for returning books, as opposed to the old four-day policy, Marshall said.
Overdue notices now are sent out five days after the due date. Previously they had been sent out right after the due date.
TWENTY DAYS after the due date, the borrower is reminded that the books are overdue and that his library privileges will be limited if he doesn't bring the material back.
After 30 days, suspension takes effect automatically and the fine is $5. If the circulation department reorders the material, it will be billed for the cost of the items plus $5.
RESIDES the computer system, several security systems are being evaluated for Watson, according to Haka. The new software is installed at the front doors of the library, he said.
All library patrons, except faculty, will be allowed to keep books for four weeks, instead of the previous three weeks, Marshall will still may keep materials for four months.
Most of the systems under consideration require that each book carry a magnetic device.
Marshall noted that by the time overdue charges were assessed and privileges suspended, the patron could have had the overdue material for two months.
When a patron checks materials out, the charge of the magnetic field in the books would be altered so that it would not set off an alarm at the exit.
If someone tries to slip by the magnetic sensor without checking the material out, an alarm will sound.
Haka said Watson's alarm system probably would warn circulation desk personnel to close a gate near the front doors.
