Cablevision to air show for consumer
"Consumer Advocate," a new program to be aired in February on Sunflower Cablevision, isn't an adventure series about a crudest reamer.
Instead it is a mild-mannered information program being initiated by the Consumer Agent.
Carol Boone, director of the CPA, said Monday the program was a result of the continuing need for CPA services and a desire to expand beyond the campus.
“There’s such a need for this office—telephone calls and people coming in all the time,” Boone said. “The change in the economy makes people want to know how much is really needed and also a national trend now toward greater acceptance of consumer information.”
Darrel Peterson, program production director of Sunflower Cablevision, said there was a real need for this type of program because "There are people being taken advantage of, and there are things people need to know."
"Consumer Advocate" will first be shown 6:30 p.m., Feb. 9, on channel 4, and continue until 10:25 a.m. (Saturday).
Booe said she hoped to make the program a weekly series if there was enough material and if there was a good fit. But she didn't estimate when the change might occur.
Peterson said Sunflower Cablevision was providing free television time because the company has made a significant contribution the economy made the timing appropriate. Boone gave a synopsis of the first shows
Bonee gave a synopsis of the first shows planned by the CPA;
—Jack Rose, mayor of Lawrence, will give a perspective on Lawrence concerning the impact of national economic problems and the reaction of the University and the community.
Jo Silliman, former assistant Kanas
sales person, and former automobile
sales representative.
George Wills, members of the Kansas State Fuel Allocation Board, will speak on President Gerald R. Ford's energy package and its ramifications for Kansas.
—Lance Burr, former chief of the CPA with the Kansas attorney general's office, will discuss "white collar crime," or frauds involving elderly persons.
The show might help change the image that the CPA is against free enterprise, or that the CPA clamps down on businessmen, Boone said.
The idea is to reach out into the community of Blank, co-producer of Advertiser Advocacy.
"We've tried hard to reach the community," Blank said, "but they don't really accept us. We're trying hard to come down off the ivory tower."

CARRIE NATION IS DEAD!!!
Last week a bill was introduced in the Kansas Legislature for the legalized sale of liquor-by-the-drink. This proposal, Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 12, provides an option for counties desiring to remain "dry," to remain so. Thus, such a law would entitle you, me or anyone else on this campus to have liquor-by-the-drink but would not require the folks in Winfield, Kansas to indulge in liquor in this modern, realistic manner.
Religious groups and conservative organizations are flooding the statehouse with petitions urging their respective legislators to vote against the only sane liquor law that has ever been proposed in Topeka. Even though these groups would be able to keep the sale of liquor-by-the-drink out of their communities, they insist on preventing all residents of Kansas from their right to have modern alcoholic beverage laws. Private club owners, whose business would be seriously affected if the bill were to be passed, are doing their best to kill the bill.
If you support the legalized sale of liquor-by-the-drink it is vitally important that you make your opinion known to our representatives in the Kansas Legislature. Petition sheets endorsing Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 12 are now being circulated in dormitories, sororities, fraternities and other places on campus. If you support the bill make sure that you sign the petition sheet. Letters endorsing the proposed resolution should be sent to Rep. John Vogel, Rep. Lloyd Buzzi, Rep. Mike Glover and Sen. Norman Gaar, author of the bill. Rep. Vogel of Lawrence has prominent influence and strength in the House of Representatives . . . his vote will greatly affect the thinking of his colleagues. Address all letters of support to the Statehouse, Topeka, Kansas 66612.
Newspaper editorials from Wichita to Independence have endorsed the bill. If you support the bill sign the petition and/or send a letter. Carrie Nation has been dead a long time . . . Kansas needs modern, realistic liquor laws.
