PG. 6, SEC. 2- PLAIN DEALER - APR. 27, 1967 Campus Versus Merchant Considerable discussion has centered recently oh the contention that institutions of higher learning should stay in the field of education and not open up department stores that unfairly compete with area merchants. ^During the past years the on-campus bookstore has steadily ejqjAnded into a general merchandising store, and the merchant in the neighborhood is placed in an unfavorable, competitive atmo$ 3here. The merchant is saddled with all types of taxes, federal, state and kxtal, while the campus retail store operates with a comparatively free reign. The campus store does not worry about store rent, across the board taxes, personnel problems, etc. y The on-campus bookstore is growing until it reached the point where it is trying the patience of the reatil merchant. For instance, Southern Illinois university plans to open a 10*000 square foot store in the new University center at Edwar dsville, which store will have the following departments: lingerie, hosiery, men's wear, women's wear, slacks, pants, jackets, sweaters, school and office supplies, radios, writing instruments, cosmetics, gifts, stationery, sporting goods, greeting cards, jewelry, household items, smoke shop, photography, records and books. ; "With this growing threat, legislation is needed to curtail ssj$fc retail sellii£ operations by public institutions of higher learning. Exempted sales might include the following: (1) Sales of textbooks to students and faculty members; 1 (2) Sales of laboratory, shop equiment and supplies used, in connection with authorized courses of instruction; (3) Sales of clothing, such as gym suits, sweat shirts with the school name or insignia thereon, and other such y^r-* clothing used in the educational programs or courses j'.f5 offered by the school; ; v(4) Sales of food, snacks and refreshments made by the school in its dining rooms, cafeteria and other premised areas, where such sales are made to students, \'... faculty and employees of the school; :, (5) Any other sales of tangible personal property used in authorized courses of instruction sold only on an occasional basis. A penalty provision has been suggested. If this is net the answer, a bill placing the campus store an an equal tax footing with private business might be the solu- - When the electors approved the bond issue in 1960, most voters thought that they were providing the finances to furnish facilities to teach the college student, and not to use some of such funds to set up competing businesses.

ROUND LAKE, ILLINOIS PHONE Kl 6-2177 RULES OF THE ROAD The growing concern over accident tolls, and a desire to provide drivers with up-to-date information, has prompted the state to issue a completely revised driver's manual, Rules of the Road. It is new in terms of content, format and size, the first complete revision of the booklet since 1954. New sections have been added covering motor vehicle registration and equipment, motorcycles and the medical aspects of driving; highway signs and traffic laws are more fully explained, illustrations are improved and the subject matter has been reorganized to group related subjects, Mr. Powell said. As an exampfe of improved illustration, Secretary of State Paul Powell pointed out that all highway signs are shown in exactly the same shades of red, blue, green and yellow as those used on the signs themselves. V The theme of the booklet is, "Metropolitan expressway or country lane, you can't drive safely unless you know the Rules of the Road." In his introduction, Mr. Powell said, "Accidents don't just happen -- they are caused. Traffic safety experts tell us that most of them could haye been avoided if drivers had known, understood and obeyed the traffic laws, signs and signals; if they had maintained their cars in safe condition, concentrated their full attention 6n driving and if they had shown proper respect for others who use the highways. Whenever you step into an automobile and start the engine you must assume certain obligations --Rules of the Road will help you fulfill this responsibility." The booklets will be distributed to automobile dealers to give to each car buyer when he takes possession of his newlyacquired vehicle. The booklets are also available at driver license examining stations throughout the state, the three motor vehicle facilities in Chicago or by writing to Secretary of State Paul Powell, Capitol Building, Springfield, Illinois. 62706.

So prepare in advance for this widespread social problem. Girls, it's your gay conversational skill that "holds" a boy and keeps him coming back for more dates, even though your cosmetic beauty may catch his eye for the first date! Bjy - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE C-534: Nora F., aged 20, is a quiet college coed. "Dr. Crane," she began, miserably, "I am such a shy, mousy type that boys seldom ask me for a date. "And even when I do go out socially, I don't know what to talk about. "Conversation lags and I feel embarrassed at those long pauses. •- . . "And the few boy friends I have had don't se€m any better at making small talk than I am, so we are both humiliated. "Maybe that's why I seldom get asked for a second date. "Is there any psycholigical secret that would help me?" ELEANOR ROOSEVELT'S SECRET The late Eleanor Roosevelt said that in her girlhood, she was shy and tongue-tied just like Nora. In desperation, Mrs. Roosevelt said she just started with the alphabet to help stimulate questions. Starting with "A" which stood for "Apples," she would bluntly ask her companion if he liked sgiples. But there is a more deft and suave formula, so whenever you fell.like crying "Help,Help" in Nora's dilemma, just dissect that very word "Help" into Ms component letters. Follow Mrs. Roosevelfs strategy thereafter. Begin with the "H" in H-E-L-P, which stands for "Hobbies." Ask your companion if he ever collected bottle caps or comic books, stamps or old coins. Since most boys go through this "collecting" stage,, the "H" will usually strike a rich vein of conversational "ore." If not, then tactfully shift over to "E," which represents "Entertainment." That covers movies, television, sports, etc. Inquire if he has participated in sports as a player or at least as an avid spectator. If that vein of conversational gold runs low, then try "L," which covers "Literature," including not only the classics, but comic books, newspapers and current magazines. See if he ever wrote high school English themes cm some of the great English novels that' appear in the dime store comic book versions called Classics, Illustrated. As a final type of deft profiling, shift over to "P," which stands for "Politics." Don't get involved in he< political arguments but ;s< what he thinks about lowering the voting age to 18. t, Find out if he believes it is| fair to draft boys to die on for-*? eign fields at 18,' when they aren't allowed to vote pro or*,, con for the Congressmen that* get us involved- in those con-; flicts. You girls will find that you can hold a boy's devotion bet-, ter by your gay repartee and? easy conversation than by your,.: beauty queen measurements! The latter may "catch" his attention but graceful conversation is what "holds" boys and inflates their ego. So send for my booklet "Formula for Easy Conversation," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents, for it also contains the college formula embodied in the "DEAR HOME PAUS" key words. With it you can converse with erudite professors as well a boy friends. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) by Paul Powell Secretary of State • Tailgating." or following too closely, is one of the leading causes of traffic collisions, and In some areas it is the leading cause. Always allow sufficient distance between your car and the one ahead to enable you to stop in time in case the other fellow decides to make a sudden stop. Remember, you cannot even recognize the heed to take your foot off the accelerator and 'move, it to the brake pedal until after that other fellow has already begun applying his brjakes. You need more distance to stop than he does. Remember, too, that as speeds increase or road surface conditions worsen because of rain, sleet or snow, the distance you allow between your car and the one ahead must be increased. National Safety Council experiments have shown that, under good road conditions, you need only 47 feet to stop at 20 miles an hour. But at 60 miles an hour you need 366 feet. The speed only tripled, but the stopping distance increased almost eight times. For your copy of the booklet. Rules of the Road, write to Paul Powell, Secretary of State, Springfield, Illinois 62706.

The surfaces on which the new paint is to be applied must be sound, smooth and -- if they are metal -- rust free. Remove loose dirt, sand rough areas and fill all cracks or holes. Chives are universally favored for their subtle flavor, adding a piquancy to appetizers! 'Soups, maindishes, salads sauces and vegetable dishes. Ice cream, compared with other desserts, is relatively low ,in calories. It is high in calcium, and supplies significant amounts of other dietary essentials, especially protein, vitamin fii, and riboflavin. To make a fruit shortcake in a hurry; .top a slice of butter poundcake with crushed sweetened fruit and top with slightly sweetened whipped cream or dairy sour cream. Saffron, the world's most expensive spice, adds a golden color to food. But, a little goes a long way. Use it sparingly. Never wash eggs before storing them. Washing removes the natural, protective coating which keeps air and foreign odors from entering the shell. Ice Cream Cookies 1 /2 cup butter (1 stick) 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour Cream butter; add sugar gradually and cream well; Beat in egg and vanilla.
