I am very independent, and I have been like this long before I decided to marry. W hen I got married, I thought that my husband would take care of me, at least financially, but evidently, this is not how my husband views marriage.

No, I'm not referring to NBC's "Real People," which features more oddballs than real people, but to a new syndicated show intriguingly called "Lie Detector." The show features two hosts: famed defense attorney F. Lee Bailey and lie detector expert Ed Gelb, and two or three average American citizens who have been accused of lying but wish to set the record straight. Therefore, they bring their cases to the polygraph, a machine that can detect whether or not a person is telling the truth. As the test is being administered, Bailey provides play-by-play, and Gelb offers color commentary and interpretations for the guest and audience. Of course, the show's audience tunes in to catch someone lying. But let's face it; who cares if the perArts Council Tig The board of trustees of the Arts Council said today that it is taking several steps to strengthen its finances in the face of present and potential future shortfalls in funding. The actions are the result of a comprehensive sixmonth review of operations of the Arts Council in new and expanded facilities. Funded member groups were informed of the decisions during a series of meetings today. L.M. (Bud) Baker, vice president/administration of the board, said that the actions address an addi tional $175,000 required to complete the $7.1 million? New Dimensions program, potential need for $70,000 in additional revenues for the 1982-83 operating budget and the possibility that the 1983-84 fund drive may fall short of its goal. "Many factors are contributing to these problems," Baker said. "Construction delays and cost overruns at Winston Square, higher-than expected operating costs and shortfalls in grants and other income are the primary factors. The problem is serious but manageable. "The board feels an obligatfon not only to conduct itself in a prudent manner financially, but also to continue to support vigorously the programs of its funded member groups and other arts organizations in Winston-Salem. The board has not wavered in its commitment as a major investor in the revitalization of the downtown.'' Actions include seeking funding to close out the New Dimensions campaign, increasing current revenues, reducing current and future operating expenses, eliminating the final $18,000 of this year's Hope In Music world-wide attention. Artists for the remaining concerts of the series on May 22 and 29 have not yet been confirmed, but Herbie Mann continues to work closely with the Arts Council in securing artists and groups for a wellbalanced series of jazz performances. Series tickets for Jazzmatazz will be available at the end of March. The price for adults is $18 and for Senior Citizens and children under 12, $12. A series ticket may be used as one admission to the three concerts or as three admissions to one concert. Admission at the gate will be $10 per person. The remaining artists for Jazzmatazz will be an nounced as soon as contracts are confirmed. Dog Food?

Drugs On The Job Stopping Production Liear roionna: My problem conccrns the behavior of some of the employees on my job. We're all professional, highly skilled people, but some of my colleagues are into drugs, and they don't care who knows about it. They use cocaine right on the job. The customers and the boss don't know about this, of course, but other employees know. It's pretty common knowledge. They know I'm not into drugs, so they don't offer me anything, but still, it's a matter of professional ethics. I'm sure that my co-workers who use drugs '} K J^. wj -7 ?s ?.

In fact, my mother and sister tune in every weeknight in hopes that they will get to cover their mouths in disbelief when bailey looks at a challenger and says, "I'm sorry, but you're plainly lying." They then break into a chuckle and try to guess how embarassed the liar must be. But even when the guest is telling the truth, the show is able to bring forth a grin, a chuckle and even a knee-slapping laugh, mostly due to Bailey's vain at- ^ tempts to identify with tyis guests. On one show, a 16-year-old mother wishes to prove that she has been faithful to her boyfriend, who dumped her after she became pregnant. She takes the lie detector test, passes with flying colors and then begins to cry. Bailey embraces her and consoles her with the 4 following: 4 'You can tell all those people saying bad things about you to cut it out." So should Bailey. I rest my case. ;htening Belt ?? \ Projects Pool budget and intensifying efforts to reach the current Arts Council Fund Drive goal. Baker, executive vice president oT WacKovta^^ Corp., said that the Arts Council staff has been trimmed by 20 percent and that reduced funding of arts .. agencies and other community groups through the Projects Pool program will be considered. In addi-' tion, the management of the Winston Square . facilities will be reorganized as recommended by a special team of staff members and volunteers, including professional building managers. The Arts Council's potential 1982-83 budget short ran of 570,000 is approximately five percent of its $1.4 million operating budget, Baker said. "Revenues from the Jazzmatazz concerts, Park Place Restaurant and the 'Run for the Arts' event in the next few months hopefully will bring income more closely into line with expenditures," he said. "This budget was prepared nearly two years ago and many factors have changed in the economy and in our situation. j "We found the cost of running Winston Square, " Jhe^ newly renovated portions of Hanes Community Center and the Rudolph Concert Shell to be higher than expected," Baker added. "In particular, maintenance and operating costs of Winston Square exceeded projected budget during this the first year of operation^? "We all hope that the 1983 Arts Council fund drive reaches its goal of $900,000. The campaign has already passed the halfway point, but as campaign chairman Dee Smith pointed out recently, the second half of the drive is the true test."

I don't want them to think that I'm trying to be "holier-than-thou," either. I just want them to do what they were hired for, so the rest of us won't have to work so hard. One reason I can't go to the boss is because one of I the main perpetrators is related to him. If push comes to shove, I'm sure I'd be the one on the way out.
