PAGE 6, \VEDNESDAY, SEPTEMIWR 25, 1985, Wl- B)r&1 in Bylines By BETTY-JEAN BLYTH Cali 6553619 wltl> Items for this column jThis is the ime of year when parents of schoolage ebidren can finally relax. The kids are back in school ail day, resplendent in their new fali outfits, the frenzy of shopping for new clothes and books is over. But there is one group of parents who rnay be fnding that,their worries have just begun and that f is the parents of young people who have gone off to college for the first time. It's not just the ernpty roorn and ernpty chair at the table that is upsetting, it's wondering if they're eating properly, if they're rnaking friends, and if so, what kind of friends. Are they hornesick? How are they coping with their studies and a rnyriad of other problerns that couid corne up. In spite of ail the ad- monitions to "'keep in touch" that you give thern as you help hemn settle in the first day, there cornes a tirne when the only thing you hear is a big ernpty silence. Providing thern with self-addressed, starn- ped envelopes seldom works as I've discovered but there are two tried and true rnethods of rnaking sure that hey'll contact you soaner or later. One is to arrange for thern to forget sorne very vital piece of eupetsuch as their favourite pair of designer eans and the other is to be late sending their allowance money. Either one is guaranteed ta registration night on Monday, Sept.' 23. Unfor- tunately, 1 received this notice too late. to let in- terested parents know about it last week. However, .hould you have a young lad who is anxious to join and you missed outaon this, just cail Nancy Grylîs at 655-3275 and Prm sure she can arrange to have hlm entered in the appropriate troup.
