Libraries improve service
YOU comes to NT this summer
Program helps teens improve schoolwork, earn money
A computer circulation system will
provide NT with faster, more accu-
rate library service in Summer II. said
Lou Ann Bradley, head of materials,
access and preservation.
Computer terminals are in place at
each circulation desk in the Willis
Library waiting for the arrival of an
additional disk on which to store in-
formation, said Library Administra-
tive Assistant Portia Barcelo.
Bradley said the Information Sci-
ence Library served as a test site for
the system since,February.
“Things have gone fairly well,”
Bradley said. “Of course it hasn’t been
problem-free.”
To check out library material, stu-
dents, faculty and staff must have a
validated I D. card.
The system will also tell whether
material is checked out, when it should
be returned and where it is on the
library shelf.
Bradley said future plans for the
system include partially phasing out
the card catalog and introducing a com-
puter catalog system.

About 100 14- and 15-year-olds from Dallas,
Tarrant and Denton Counties arrived at NT early this
week to spend their summer living, going to school
and working on campus.
Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU), a creation
of Gov. Mark White, is a program designed to help
disadvantaged students with math and English, while
giving them a chance to earn money, said Jackie
Disselkoen, director of the program. High school and
NT instructors are teaching the YOU classes.
Chris Staples, Administrative Assistant to the Chan-
cellor said. “This is a good way to help people in
the community and give them something from the
university. It’s a chance for the students to see things
they probably didn’t know were available to them,
and maybe it will interest them in college.
“This program has had amazing results in the past.
I understand that once the students return to school
the improvement is tremendous. And I don't want
to leave out that the campus offices can certainly
use the help.”
Disselkoen said the program directors worked
closely with high school counselors to find teens who
need financial help and academic encouragement.
“These are potential, high risk drop-outs. They’re
the types who quit school if they fail a course. By
helping them pass their subjects and make money
for the coming year, we hope to encourage them to
stay in school and consider attending college.”
Disselkoen said most of the offices on campus
agreed to give a youth a job. The Job Training Part-
nership Act will provide minimum wage for the stu-
dents' work, Disselkoen said, so the university is
getting free office help.
“These kids are going to school half a day and
working on campus half a day. If they failed to com-
plete a course at school or they need extra help,
TEA (Texas Education Agency) has given us accredita-
tion so the kids will get high school credit for what
they do here," Disselkoen said.
Although the program is intended to be intensive
work-study, weekend trips, evening elective classes
and counseling will add variety to an otherwise rigid
schedule, Disselkoen said.
“We’re going to take trips to places like Six Flags,
Wet ’n Wild, and the arts and cultural museums in
Dallas and Fort Worth on the weekends,” Disselkoen
said. "After dinner they will go to elective classes
such as theater, dance, pholography. arts and crafts
and radio and television. Wc also have recreation
time set up for swimming and things like that.”
