Gas prices unpredictable
Gasoline prices are down from last spring's record highs, but there is no way to predict what prices will be this winter, according to local dealers.
"The prices should stay all right unless it gets real cold and they need a lot of heating oil or the foreign oil situation changes," Diekner said.
Glenn Dicken, local distributor for Mobile
O Company, brings things figured in
the book to the office.
Dieker said he thought the prices would go up, but prices went down last month. Eric N. Teitz, manager of the Sinclair station at 9th and Iowa streets, said he thought the price trend would be low all winter.
Sylvester Archer, an employee of the station, said that gas prices had had a downwards trend but that he thought the prices would go back up.
Neither the local distributors nor the managers of the local stations have anything to do with the gas prices because Government controls the prices, Dieker said.
He said that since Mohil had a four-cents-a-gallon decrease in the price of crude oil, government controls forced them to show a four-cents-a-gallon decrease on the pumps.
"Gas consumption has been down," people think. Now they shut off lights, and of
Archer said stations with service bays could charge more for gas because they had fuel.
"We want people to realize that we're not stodgy and we can have fun," she said.
Most grafti scholars have a limited vocabulary but some attempt to say something about them.
course the lower speed limits helped, too."
"But if a station doesn't have a service bay, and a customer sees that gas is a cent a gallon less across the street, he'll go over there," Archer said.
"If we have the better price we'll get the business."
The elevators in Watson Library have frequently been the target of graffiti enthusiasts, and this year the library is encouraging it-on the paper, that is.
Gas isn't hard for the Lawrence stations to get, either.
One person wrote, "Time is a concept to measure eternity." Beneath this someone else wrote, "Time is a concept to measure old men."
Bengel occasionally adds her own comments to the paper, and was sure other librarians would appreciate it.
Graffiti encouraged in Watson, but only on the paper provided
Nancy Bengel, circulation librarian,
originated the idea and she said that most
patrons would find this book valuable.
Sheets of typing paper with the heading "graffiti here," have been posted in or near the elevators in Watson to keep students free from stress. Our favorite four-letter words into the wall.
The primary topic of interest, however, is sex- or the lack of it
"last month we gave the stations all they wanted," Diecker said. For example, we gave this station (Hillcrest Mobile at 900 115 per cent of their 1972 allocation).
The famous inscription "NEUGENT
bark" can also be found on the graffiti
papers.
The paper hanging in the west elevator was taken down, prompting someone to scratch into the wall "Where's the paper we're supposed to write on?"
Bengel reads the graffiti signs to get suggestions and comments people have concerning the library. She also changes the words on the books, obsence, which frequently happens.
"We don't want the library to be any more unpleasant than necessary," she said.
"Most stations took what they needed or about ten to 12 thousand gallons over their tanks."
According to Bengel, the idea of putting up paper for graffiti was suggested before, but library administrators were against it.
She wouldn't elaborate.
She said students marking on property had cost the library time and money.
"People don't really realize they are damaging things," she said. "Most are just doing it."
Recently a lot of young men have volunteered to work on weekends, along with retired men, handicapped people, and lonely people, Ervin said.
Some businesses have started allowing workers off for several hours to volunteer work. Of these men are tutoring children, Ervin said.
"I liked volunteering" because it was really a good way to forget about my struggles.
Ervin said volunteers could work with consumer protection, as impressions in community parks, in drug centers, in a home for the elderly and in other areas.
Volunteer Clearing House is the service used to place many of these volunteers, according to DeeEllen R. Ervin, coordinator of the clearing house.
He said he hoped the volunteer program worked, "I sure would hate to see it rationed, because that would cause a lot of different problems," he said.
Many students are volunteering, but even more volunteers could be used. Ervin said. She said that many students were required to volunteer for classes, but that many students volunteered because they saw value in having a well-rounded background.
Archer said the Sinclair station had all the gas it needed.
Dicker said the increase in Lawrence gas allocation and President Gerald Ford's volunteer program could mean the gas situation would be good this winter.
Some of the agencies supplied with workers by the clearing house include the Greater and Big Sister programs, the Scout program, Penn House and Headquarters.
People interested in working as a volunteer should call 864-3698 or go to 14B in the Union between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, Ervin said.
Some people still do something for free. Volunteers completely run some community service agencies in Lawrence, seaside town, or coordinator of the Clearing House Cleaning
