NUPIRG backed consumer center to give students buying information By Betsie Amnions 1 . Students desiring information on products they con sider purchasing now have an on-campus location to check them out-the Consumer Information Center, sponsored by the Nebraska University Public Interest Research " Group (NUPIRG). The purpose of the center is to provide buying infor mation for UNL students, said senior Pam Cameron, center director. The center is in the NUPIRG office, Neb raska Union 336, and is open Wednesdays from 10 ajn. to 4 pjn. and Thursdays from 10 ajn. to 4 pjn. and from 7 to 9 pin. It opened Feb. 18. Pamphlets concerning different products and how to be an effective consumer are found in the center, Cameron said. If the needed data is not there, they can tell students where it can be found, she said. Cameron, a consumer affairs major from Lincoln, said she is associated with the center as an individual study project. The idea for the Consumer Information Center origi nated with Don Wesely, a junior university studies major from Lincoln. He said he thought of the center because "there was no place for students to go with their unique consumer problems." He said student dollars are scarce, and the center is designed to help them stretch their budgets and use their money with the most efficiency. , Public Interest Research Groups at other universities have consumer education programs, Wesely said, adding that experiences at those universities indicated there was room on this campus for student consumer education. This is NUPIRG's first step in training students to be better consumers, he said. Future projects may include the compilation of a booklet on buying tips for students and formulation of study groups to examine prevalent consumer problems, he said. Studies in the United States have shown that purchases researched most often are major ones, such as cars, Cameron said, adding that she thinks they will be the focus at UNL. She said information on food costs, invest ments, contracts, and mortgages also will be provided at the center. - Cameron said the center will be staffed by herself, Wesely and NUPIRG member Greg Heineman, a junior economics major from Omaha. Another person referred to NUPIRG by Student Volunteer Services, also will help, she said. Financing for the center comes from money allocated . to NUPIRG from UNL student fees, said Wesely, who also is chairman of the Fees Allocation Board. NUPIRG re ceived $675 to operate this year, and about $200 of that will go to the center, Wesely said. mm. 0 BUT EVELYN V.30D GRATES CAN READ THE EXORCIST H 33 UIKUTES You can da It, too.
