2 THE CAROLINA TIMES tAT.,FESXUAIYt,1Ka a Offers Free Instruction In Reading, Writing Durham Technical In ' stitute has launched a new instructional program which uses the telephone as the means of delivery to participants. The new program is known as DAISY, which stands for Dial Access Instructional System. Explaining the uni queness of the new pro-., gram, Susan Payne, direct tor of the DAISY pro gram, said, "as far as we know, this is the only dail access system which is designed to provide literacy instruction as well as information." , The DAISY telephone system has approximately 500 taped programs available to persons who call the DAISY operator at 596-0611. The main component of the DAISY system is a literacy pro gram which provides free instruction in reading and writing to adults in Durham. In addition to the DAISY Literacy Program, the telphone access system has tapes on educational skills, information about Durham Technical In stitute, health informa tion, and public-consumer information.- There are. also tapes for general listening, which includes selections from old radio shows such as Superman and the Lone Ranger. The idea for the dial ac cess system at Durham Tech originated with Dr. John Crumpton, president of Durham Technical In stitute. Dr. Crumpton sees this program as another innovative way that Durham Tech serves the Durham community. DAISY will operate seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The operator will be on duty between 1 and 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday to play any tape requested from the entire collection of programs. At all other times the system will operate automatically. A person who calls will have access to ten programs which are changed weekly. A list of the programs featured for the week will appear in Durham newspapers. Although DAISY pro vides a wide range of in formational programs, the main feature is the DAISY Literacy Program. Reading and writing skills are presented in lessons deigned by Susan Pavne. In addition to developing the DAISY program Payne is a student at North Carolina State University where she will receive the Doctor of Education degree with a major in adult and com munity education in August. Payne explained that persons using: the literacy program may come to Durham Tech.. for a per sonal assessment of their skills, which results in a prescribed plan for par ticipating in the DAISY ; lessons. Participants will also be given an activity module which accom panies each telephone lesson. ' Payne has been assisted by Terri Ettson, DAISY research assistant, in the development of the pro gram. Payne and Ettson have worked as a team in preparing producing, and recording the tapes. In itially funded through the Comprehensive Employ ment and Training Act, Ettson has developed technical skills in the pro duction and recording of tapes to be used in the pro gram. in addition to Payne and Ettson, the DAISY staff includes Barbara Turner, DAISY operator. Dr. Phail Wynn, Jr., vice president for support services, has provided ad ministrative leadership for, , the DAISY oroiect. . Dr. I Wynn indicated that the .

Technical Institute, P. O. Box 11307,. Durham, North Carolina 27703. Durham Technical In stitute is currently receiv ing applications for the Pharmacy Technology Program which will begin April 1. The nine months certificate t program is designed to prepare per sons to work in hospital and community phar macies. Don Kritsch, coor dinator for the Pharmacy Technology program, in dicated that the current employment outlook for pharmacy technicians is excellent, "Expansion of area hospitals has created a shortage of trained per sonnel," said Kritsch. Durham Tech's pro gram includes formal classroom study along with practical experiences in hospitals. Currently, students receive clinical experience at Duke Medical Center, Durham County General Hospital, North Carolina Memorial Hospital, and Veterans Administration Hospital. , A? hew pharmacy laboratory was recently completed at Durham Technical Institute. Ac cording to Kritsch, the purpose of the new laboratory is' to provide students with hands-on ex perience prior to clinical assignments in the hospital. Betsy Bell, admissions officer for the Pharmacy Technology program, in dicated that applications for the program are now available. Bell said person should apply now in order to be accepted for the April class. family finance WHERE TO GO FOR INVESTMENT ADVICE With inflation and higher taxes hitting us all, it's im portant that people get the best value for their money. And that includes invest ments too. Experts say many peo ple may hot be getting their money's worth if they con tinue to get investment advice from the sources they're using now. . . It seems many people seek money management help from friends or rela tives, not financial profes sionals. In fact, a recent nationwide survey of work ing women reveals that only one in ten turn to a stock broker or investment counselor for advice. Why don't people go to trained financial profession als for help with their money problems? Many be lieve they'll have to pay for advice. But usually there's no charge for basic information. . Many others think they must have a lot of money to invest to get help from a stockbroker or financial planner'. But that's not so either. A registered representative that's often the name for persons who sell securities might rec- " ommend a mutual fund. , The minimum,, investment in that fund could be $250 or even less. And there's no law. that says you have to ' accept - the advice that's given. The final decision is left to the investor. If people rely only upon help from friends or rela tives, they may be in for big problems. Friends are well-meaning, but they really don't know about all the products that could help fulfill individual needs. Sometimes friends recom mend investments that have done well for them. But their goals and money cir cumstances may be differ ent. Investments often have different financial aims. For instance, some mutual funds aim to build up capital, others to increase current income. Others inveb. n municipal bonds that are free of federal' tax. People should try to select invest ments whose goals closely match their own. A stockbroker, financial planner, mutual fund repre sentative or banker can sug gest investments that could help meet your objectives. It's a good idea to read about investments before buying them.
