	I just finished up at NCSU and am moving to the DENVER CO area
at the end of the month. I need to move miscellaneous furniture (not much),
a lot of books (~20 boxes), clothes, and a 1987 Mazda 323 Hatchback. I am not
being reimbursed for this move by my new employer, so I would like to do this
move as inexpensively as possible.

	All my stuff would fit very nicely in a small U-Haul Trailer, except the
owner's manual says "We do not recommend towing anything with this car".  The
smallest truck that can tow my car is a 15" truck, which is not only way
too big
for all my stuff, but will cost me almost $1000.

	I am looking for ADVICE!!! Do you know anybody moving to Colorado this
month? Do they have/need room on a moving truck?

	Anybody have any experience with freight movers, where they pick up and
deliver to the curb of your apartment/house?

I am a member of Spa Health Clubs.  I initially joined in north Raleigh, but my
membership allows me to go to any of the clubs in the area (and in other
cities).  I go to the club at Willowdaile shopping center in Durham; they have
a medium-sized pool, aerobics classes pretty much all day every day, machines,
free weights, lifecycles, stairsteppers, rowing machines, etc.  Also water
aerobics, sauna, and steamroom.  My initial membership was four years for
$375 (one of those free because I paid cash, and I drew an additional free
year in an incentive drawing!), and my renewal is (and will be for all time)
$150 per year.  The prices may have gone up some since I joined in 1986, but
I think Spa is probably still cheaper than most of the other clubs in the area
(I cringe when I hear of people paying $50/month for dues).

Note that many of the Spa clubs have no pool.

Below is a shorter letter to the editor because they don't allow 
editorials over 250 words in length.

==================

Computers, information, librarians, and you

"Computer wizards supplanting book lovers at library desk" was an
interesting article. It was the sort of story people like to read in
newspapers about libraries. Unfortunately it did not address some of the
unpleasant issues facing libraries because of computers and the
publishing industry. Not addressed, these issues will result in monetary
and electronic impediments to information for the general public,
scholars, and students.

Information is not free. It never has been, nor will it ever be. Access
to information costs money too. Libraries have traditionally absorbed
these costs. Unfortunately, these costs have risen dramatically. The
subscription rates of scholarly journals have been rising at more than
10% every year for at least the past six years. It is not uncommon for
these journals to cost hundreds of dollars. Furthermore, publishers have
two rates for their publications, one for libraries, another for
individuals. More and more, electronic information is not owned by the
library; it is leased. When a library drops a electronic subscription,
the library must give back the information. 

Consequently, support concepts like the The National Research and
Education Network (NREN). It represents federal legislation exploring the
development of a national information infrastructure. Also, support
libraries with human and capital resources. Support their need for
additional staff, computers, and information. Would you go to a surgeon
who didn't have a scalpel? How can you expect a librarian to do their job
without the necessary tools?
