Self-service pumps lose out to auto owners' pride
The one to two cent a gallon savings of fered at self-service gas stations isn't significant enough to draw many customers into the business, but to several station managers in Lawrence.
"People who buy self-service gasoline are the people who go everywhere, the ones who buy gas anywhere they light," Tom Davis wrote in *The Times*, 1733. Massachusetts N.A., said tightening laws.
"The people who buy full-service are the people who are with you all the time," he
Several other service station managers agreed.
Patton's station has both full-service and self-service nums.
"WE HAVE PRETTY regular customers here," Don Phelps, manager of Jayhawk Oil Company, Inc., 106 W. Sixth St., said. "People are getting tired of going to self-service stations and waiting on themselves."
Jayhawk Oil has only full-service pumps. "A lot of our customers trade here all the time," Dale Solwedt, manager of Dale's Standard Service, 1300 Massachusetts St., said. "The others just go back and forth between full and self-service."

However, federal revenue funds would be used to finance the operating budget before taxes are collected.
KU NOW HAS two projects that could be affected by the use of federal revenue sharing funds. Plans have been drawn for an addition to Robinson Gynnasium and Malot Hall, but the legislature hasn't funded construction vet.
"Before we would raise taxes before the 8 election, every other source of revenue was cut."
Bennett has vowed not to approve a tax increase. Lady said that for political reasons the Democrats wouldn't propose a tax increase before the 1978 election.
Buzii said he doubted that Democrats would want to risk going on a limb by attacking him.
SOME PROGRAMS may be cut to stay within the budget, he said, but some would have been cut regardless of who was in power in the House. He said he didn't foresee any major cutbacks, especially in the areas of education.
"How we handle federal revenue money will get a very thorough going over this bill more so than in the payoffs conceivable to the public, it will be proposed. I think we're going to have face the fact that any capital improvement is going to be made in KU giving our money because of the change."
The funding will depend on each particular program and each capital improvement. James Holderman, D-Wichita and Means Committee member, said.
There is no need to increase taxes, he said. Karsas is in very good fiscal shape through at least 1980 from the looks of budget projections, he said. Taxes won't need to be increased because of the amount of money in the reserve fund.
"IF THE TIMES comes that the money in the reserve dwindles to a dangerous level, the legislature will have to evaluate every program and every agency and cut out some of them that might not have a high priority with the people."
Glover said that economic growth in Kansas would generate state revenue, and consequently, taxes won't need to be increased. He also recommended using tax credits from the state to enable the passage of tax reforms without an economic shock to the state funds.

However, Naomi Mensch, manager of La-Ball, Inc., a self-service station at 602 W. Ninth St., said that self-service stations also have their regular customers.
MANY OF THEM, she said, buy self-service gas because they take care of their cars and don't need the extra service given at a full-service station.
"We sell a lot of filters and oil," she said, because a good lot of them change their properties.
Lo-Ball also gets a lot of business when people come in because it is handy when you go to a restaurant.
THE PEOPLE WHO regularly gas买 bus at full-service stations are the ones who want their cars taken care of. Bob McBride, a manager in San Diego distribution company at 640 Locust St. said,
"There's always going to be a place for full-service because people want to take care of their automobiles and are willing to pay for it," he said.
"There's a big difference in the profits between full and self-service," he said, "because no-service means you don't have near the overhead or the payroll. But despite the smaller profit margin, there's still a need for full-service."
**PEOPLE WHO ARE tired of waiting on**
**we are coming back to full-service**
from self-support.
"They're tired of washing their own windows and checking their own tires and all that."
And, he said, the cold weather also will help bring people back to full-service.
"Just in the last three weeks we've sold 300 to 400 gallons more," he said.
"You're not saving but just a penny a dollar at self-service and at full-service you get."
At Kieper Oil Company, 2447 W. Sixth St., customers use both the full-and self-service pumps, manager Jack Faulconer said.
ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE SEEM to think the saving is worth the extra trouble, many are willing to pay for full-service, he said.
People who buy self-service gas don't have much regard for their automobiles,邯郸人。
"From my viewpoint, they're just interested in wheels that turn," he said.
Managers agreed that no one age or economic group frequented self-service pumps more than other groups.
"It's very, very mixed here," Mensch said. "We get a lot of business from students and others. We have doctors, professors—the whole gamut."
