It's Almost 6Go9 For Club/Hobie Cat Regatta Skippers 6f the world's fastest sailboats have started arriving from throughout the United States to compete in the Club-Hobie Cat 14 National regatta, Aug. 15-20, at Illinois Beach State park, Zion. The race, being held in the area for the first time in its tight year history, is co- sponsored this year by Heublein's The Club Cocktails and the Hobie Cat association. Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers, who will also be vying for spots in the world championships this fall in the Canary Islands. The first two days of the U.S. title race will be devoted to qualifying races for spots still open in the national cham­ pionships. Plans call for run­ ning six qualifying races in two days with each skipper sailing every other race, a total of three races per contestant. In the three-day title races, ninety-six skippers will rotate in using forty-eight different boats. Sailors will each race in two of the four daily races so that by completion of the race series, each skipper will have competed in six races. The top forty-eight skippers will then compete in final races, Saturday, Aug. 20. The twin-hulled boats are among the fasted sail-powered boats in the world, having been clocked a speeds of more than 23 mph. Inconsistent Lake Michigan conditions are ex­ pected to heavily test skippers' skills, perhaps more so than in DID YOU KNOW?

Man Just Getting Started At 90 Carl Sandstedt, 90, of Bryan, Texas, quit driving two months ago, but he doesn't let that get in the way of going to his office every day at Texas A & M University, where he works on his latest freelance maga­ zine article and occasionally teaches an engineering class when an instructor is ill. When Sandstedt retired in 1958 after a 35 year teach­ ing career, the university made him a professor em­ eritus, an honor which in­ cluded the use of an office for the rest of his life. "You can bet I took them up on the office," Sandstedt told a writer from The Na­ tional Council on the Aging. "There are still a lot of sub­ jects I'm interested in and want to write about." Sandstedt has published four articles since turning 85. While they were techni­ cal in nature and geared for engineers, he's currently working on an article about drinking and driving in­ tended for a wide audience. "Did you know 23,000 people were killed by drunk drivers in 1975?" he asked. "If I could save just 100 lives because of this article it would be worth it, don't you think?" Born on a wheat farm near Spokane, Washington, Sandstedt went to Stanford University and received a degree in engineering in 1910. After graduation he worked in California and Hawaii and then took a job with a railroad that en­ tailed traveling all over the country. "I was just starting a family then and 1 decided it wasn't fair to drag them all over the country," Sandstedt recalled. "I told a friend of mine, 'I'm going to take the first teaching job I can find so I can settle in one place'." A week later, he was offered a job at Texas A & M -- "I didn't even know where it was," he said with a chuckle -- and he's been there ever since. In 1928 he added a master's degree which he obtained while teaching a full schedule of undergraduate classes. Besides his daily stint at the university, Sandstedt is active in a number of com­ munity organizations. The one he is most fond of is a dance club that was founded in 1943. Many of the origi­ nal members have died but Sandstedt still attends the monthly dinner dances and enjoys dancing with all the ladies. Now that he no longer drives, Sandstedt's remain­ ing son drives him to his office everyday after lunch. "Until I decided to quit driving, I used to go in the morning," he said, "but my son's schedule is such that he can't pick me up until early afternoon." Asked what he would do without his office at the uni­ versity, Sandstedt takes a moment to mull over his answer. "I'd belost without a space to work and access to the library," he said. "Even though I've lived a long time I feel like I've just scratched the surface." Then, with a laugh, lie added, "I guess you could say tbat I'm living proof that you're never too old to learn." * • • A ONE YEAR project to curb crime against the el­ derly is being undertaken by the Administration on Aging in conjunction with The Community Service, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban de­ velopment and the Law En­ forcement Assistance Ad­ ministration. Cities serving as demonstration sites are Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Milwau­ kee and Washington, D.C. All have a large number of elderly citizens and high crime rates. The goals of the project are to reduce the elderly's fear of being victimized, to reduce actual crimes against older persons and to assist those who have been vic­ timized. "Police officers need to be sensitized to the senior citizen's perspective and re­ spond to complaints and calls for immediate assist­ ance in prompt fashion. The community-at-large needs to become more aware of the incidence of crime agairist the elderly and be­ come conscious of the spe­ cific and valid needs of that segment of the community," said Rep. Walter E. Faun- troy (D-D.C.) when asked what role the police and the community should play in reducing crime against the elderly. WHiTKNOWS! 1. When and where did the volcano Etna last erupt? 2.

What is the best way to ask for a raise in salary? I've been working as a clerk-typist for two years and not once has my boss even mentioned the possibility of a promotion. I love my work and I know how hard jobs are to got but wouldn't you think I'd be in line for something. At this point I need some extra cash and I've been debating whether or not to ask him for an advance on my paycheck. Several people have told me that rm a fool to be working for a company that doesnt offer pay increases after two years. Am I being fooled by my bass or my friends? Minimum Wage Dear Minimum Wage: You certainly have every right 1 to request a raise. That doesn't ) necessarily mean you'll get it but j there's no harm in asking. Make ; an appointment to see your boss. 4 It's possible he isn't even aware of your situation. When you see him, explain that you need a j salary increase to keep in line 1 with the increased cost of liv- q ing--he should be sympathet­ ic. If you don't get the extra ( money that way maybe you could j do some typing in your home as a , means of supplementing your in- , come. If you decide to quit your , present job, dont do so until v you've come up with a replace- / ment. <H you would Mta CoHaan'a commonta on your particular situation or problem, write COLLEEN. Box MB.
