Offers Free Consumer Information (Lansing)—Consumers will be able to pick up the telephone tomorrow—at no charge—and get answers to questions and advice for problems from the Michigan Con- sumers Council Guideline. | Agnes Bryant, the Council’s Chairperson, said, ‘The Consumers Council is delighted to have the Guideline in operation. It means an additional avenue of help for con- sumers who have questions or pro- blems.”” "The toll-free system means our information service is now readily available to virtually every con- sumer in Michigan,” said the Coun- cil’s Executive Director Linda Joy. “While we have always provided information from our large clearing- house, the greater volume of our calls has come from Lansing. Our resources will now be accessible to consumers whether they live in Niles, Detroit or Sault Ste. Marie.” Joy explained that one of the functions of the Guideline is to help guide consumers through their complaints with businesses. “We've found that consumers can often resolve their own com- plaints without the intervention of state and federal agencies if the necessary counseling and inform- ation is available,” she said. “The ideline wi Ovide th ° pare! ation or ontereeniere is necessé we'll put consumers in touch with the agency best able to handle the problem. We hope this service will be useful to both businesses and consumers.” The Consumers Council Guide- line will also provide information to consumers who want to head off potential problems before they uy. “Trained counselors will be able to provide information on a wide range of consumer issues,” Joy said. “If we don’t have ready access to the information, we know who does.”” Joy explained that to keep costs down there are three different tele- phone numbers for the Guideline. "The number which consumers should use depends on where they are calling from in Michigan,’’ she said. Consumers who live in the city of Detroit should dial 963- 6806; Lansing-area residents should call 373-0947. Consumers in all other areas of the state (including the Alpena area) may dial 1-800- 292-5680. The lines are SH ey through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please check to oe sure you use the right number for your area.’” The student senate of the U. of Wisconsin-Stout joined the local Chamber of Commerce last month. — CAMPUS UPDATE, Feb. 26, 1979, page 3 SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS ACC Women Take Highland Park By Rene Johnson The Alpena Community College Women’s Basketball Team walked easily past Highland Park 101-20 at the East Campus Gym Friday, Feb. 16, to set a school record of ten wins in one season.
