You wouldn't know it from the Christmas catalogs cascading into America's mailboxes these days. Take one from a Texas firm, Sakowitz, for example. ,It offers a swimming pool shaped like Texas itself and filled with Perrier water for a measily $127,<W4.32. Like most of the catalogs, this ope is filled with more affordable products, but they are still ones that are the earmarks of a prosperous si&ciety.

Kay Scolaro of McHenry is in foreground. ?u (MCC PHOTO BY NANCY WELLS) Land and Water Land covers only about a third of the surface of the Earth; the rest is covered by water. Abe Peck, former un­ derground newspaper editor, said the defunct Chicago Seed "was the journalism school of the streets." McHenry County college journalism students revisited the '60s through the eyes and experiences of Peck, now a Chicago Sun-Times feature writer. Peck recalled "How to Have a Good Time, Smash the State, and Learn a Trade on $50. a Week," as the topic of his MCC Visiting Professional Series journalism lecture. He said, "The underground press was a creature of its time. The Seed arose from the gap between two cultures- Mom and Dad on one hand and kids, drugs and rock music on the other." When The Seed ^egan publication in May, 1967, it was a voice of the new community of flower children r When it JEWEL CATALOG OUTLET STORE • JEWEL CATALOG OUTLET STORE • JEWEL CATALOG OUTLET STORE • finally folded in 1973, The Seed had become a violence-oriented political journal that no longer reflected the views of its readers, Peck said. Looking back, "It was a lot of fun, some of it was wrong, silly, male-chauvenist, but it was a paper that advocated things and took a point of view," Peck said. The Seed, like the rest of the underground press, was non-bureaucratic, anti-profit a n d " e x p e r i m e n t a l l y exhuberant." > The concept and purpose of the underground press was original and reflected the values of the times. In The Seed's heyday, national issues were polarized, while today's issues are less clearly defined. Discussing his own ex­ periences, Peck said The Seed taught him to be curious, flexible, and have fun writing. People of the underground press went three ways. The flower people went to com­ munes in the country. The [V.A. news"! Editor's note: Following are representative questions an­ swered daily by VA counselors.

He added, "If there's a recession going on, how come you can't get a hotel room in New York on less than a month's notice and you have trobule getting a seat on an airplane?" America's economy today is a crazy quilt that defies the classic definitions of recession. Increased unemployment, slowdowns in capital goods orders and manufacturing -- classic signs - are present, but in spots. We continue to suffer that un^classic combination of growing unemployment and surging inflation which has economists scratching their heads. Their textbooks say it shouldn't happen,'that lower inflation rates are bought at the price of higher unemployment, and vice versa. Public opinion polls continue to show inflation as the number one problem. Worried about the continued decline in the value of their dollars, Americans are on a buying binge. This can have its bright side, as in the automobile industry, where Chrysler's much publicized financial woes and its bold rebate program have led a resurgence in sales. Because so many Americans are directly or indirectly affected by the health of the auto industry^ a recovery in sagging sales volume helps the whole economy, i Meanwhile;, though, beyond our shores, the near-panic buying of gold continues to put heavy pressure on the value of the dollar, making the ones in your pocket and bank account ever cheaper.

There, despite sensible economic reforms in recent years, people are so used to inflation that th£$ have learned to adjust to it. The average man-in-the-street in Buenos Aires has learned to check savings interest rates several times a day to see if he should move'his money in order to "bicycle" its value upward. We may not ever get to 100- percent-plus inflation as Argentina has, butv some troubling symptoms are there and some economists say we are getting close to 20 percent now. The government's) ap­ petite for unbalanced budgets and high taxes remains the culprit. Despite a lot of right- sounding rhetoric, its only solution so far has been to print more money. Rep. Bob Michel (R-Ill.) put it well recently when he said. "The economic policies of the federal government have made a mockery of savings... the traditional American habit of putting something aside for a rainy day has joined thci list of endangered species in millions of families." He cited the low savings rate in the ITS. 6.2 percent, compared with Japan's 24.3, West Germany's 16.1 and the United Kingdom's 10 percent of disposable family income. Many families, worried that their dollars in savings ac­ counts will slide ever further behind the inflation rate, are pulling them out to buy everything from postage stamps to Oriental rugs in the hope they will have something of tangible ~ and increased - value in the future. Congressman Michel pointed the way toward a solution: "We can produce ourselves out of this mess. Let's build. Let's have a tax system that begins with the premise that the money you earn is yours and that the government has a very limited call upon it." If only the other 434 members of Congress would join in a chorus, along with the action to make savings more rewarding, to stimulate capital investment and to cut taxes across the board we would be on our way to licking our problems.
