Looking for a college?
By ROBERT
WALLACE, Ed.D.
Copley News Service
Teens: looking for the
right college for you: one
that offers the perfect blend
of academic stimulation and
social life?
Well, it’s important to
visit a school before you
enroll. In many cases, you
will have only one visit to
decide whether the school
you’re considering is right
for you, so, it’s crucial to
know what clues to look for,
what questions to ask and
when to schedule a visit,
says Seventeen magazine.
The ideal time to view a
college is on a weekday,
when school is in full swing.
Otherwise, you’re likely to
find a deserted campus,
locked-up buildings, and
miss that all-important ele-
ment — the student body. Be
sure to allow enough time at
the school to take in a group
or individual interview and
guided tour.
Arrive early for the inter-
view and take advantage of
the admissions office wait-
ing room to read through the
yearbooks and campus
newspapers lying on the cof-
fee tables.
These materials are likely
to give you a good overview
of campus life. Yearbooks
ffl 12 A 20
highlight nostalgia and the
bright side of the college
year, while the campus
paper often provides a
frank, even harsh view of. a
school's inner workings.
The group interview is
usually an informal sales
pitch by a college represent-
ative, but it is helpful in that
it gives you a chance to
confirm data on such things
as costs, current enrollment
and percentage of men to
women.
You might also want to
ask about the transfer or
dropout rate at a college. A
sizable exodus may indicate
dissatisfaction or lax admis-
sions standards. .And if you
find out that most students
live off school grounds, this
could mean that there is a
housing shortage on cam-
pus, or that the dorms, while
• plentiful, may be cramped,
overpriced or poorly main-
tamed.
After the interview, you
are likely to be treated to a
campus tour by one of the
school’s students. As you
stroll through the grounds,
stick close to the guide so
you can ask questions and
hear all the offhand com-
ments. The back of the tour
only gets the canned spiel.
Don’t be afraid to ask
questions about the pressure
of work or the quality of the
food — a student is apt to
give you a straight answer.
Students are also more
likely to tell you which de-
partments are weak or
strong. Even a top universi-
ty may have a' so-so depart-
ment — and it may be the
one you're planning to
major in!
Since guides are usually
active students, they’re
good sources of information
on campus social life. A
school where almost every-
body heads home or for the
ski slopes on Friday, can be
rather dismal for those who
stay behind.
After you’ve heard and
seen something of a school
from the official standpoint,
do some research on your
own. Whenever possible,
talk with students, particu-
larly anyone in your pro-
jected major.
If you can arrange to eat
a meal on campus, do it.
And don’t forget to look at
the dorms. Ask the students,
living in the building about
the rules regarding visitors,
how soundproof the walls
are, and even how well the
heat works in the winter
When you're ready to
leave the campus, take an
extra half-hour to size up the
surrounding neignborhood.
Some colleges have attrac-
tive settings, others have
become walled fortresses in
unsafe, deteriorating areas.
Immediatly after your
visit, jot down a few obser-
vations, Facts and impres-
sions will blur all too quick-
ly, especially if you’ve taken
in several colleges on the
same trip. You can easily
confuse who said what at
which school.
Once you’ve gotten an in-
side view of all the colleges
you’re considering, you can
sit back and weigh the pros
and cons of each. That way
you’ll know if the college
that appeals to your best
friend, or was great for your
brother, just misses the
mark for you.

Consumer Reports
By the Editors
of Consumer Reports
DEAR CONSUMER
REPORTS — Why don’t beer
cans carry information on
ingredients, calories, carbohy-
drates, etc.?
DEAR READER - While
the U.S. Treasury Depart-
ment’s Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms regu-
lates all alcoholic beverages,
a spokesman says it isn’t
empowered to require the
kind of labeling that you
asked about.
In fact, he says, the only
thing the bureau can do about
beer can labels is approve or
disapprove the wording cho-
sen by manufacturers.
Brewers aren’t even required
to list the alcohol content on
the label.
DEAR CONSUMER
REPORTS — In shopping for
a new car, I’ve had a number
of dealers offer me optional
factory undercoating. How
much should it cost and just
what does it do?
DEAR READER — Facto-
ry-applied undercoating,
which generally costs about
$35, is offered as part of a
sound-deadening package.
We’ve found that it does insu-
late the car’s interior from
road noise.
Some dealers, however, will
tell you the undercoating also
acts as a rust protector. We
can’t support that claim.
DEAR CONSUMER
REPORTS — I purchased a
Bradford clothes dryer from
W.T. Grant before that dry-
goods chain went out of busi-
ness in 1976.
The dryer still works fine
but it needs a new lint filter.
Neighborhood appliance and
fix-it shops say Bradford isn’t
on the market any more.
How can I replace the lint
filter?
DEAR READER - Write
to Jacoby Appliance Parts,
269 Main St., Hackensack,
N.J. 07601. Or call (201) 489-
6444.
Jacoby purchased the entire
Bradford line of washer,
dryer, refrigerator and
dishwasher parts when W.T.
Grant went out of business. If
you can supply a model
number, a Jacoby employee
says, they probably can sup-
ply the lint filter.
DEAR CONSUMER
REPORTS - What’s the dif-
ference between "light” and
"albacore” tuna?
DEAR READER - Light
tuna generally has a stronger
taste than albacore - also
known as white - tuna.

More than one type surgery
DEAR DR. LAMB — About
26 years ago my father had
surgery for a prostate prob-
lem. He’s now 87 and is hav-
ing the same problem again.
The doctor says he needs
surgery. My question is, has
the procedure for this type of
surgery changed and is it as
serious as it was 25 years
ago? I read somewhere that
it’s been simplified somewhat
since then.
My father had a kidney
removed several years ago
and refuses to have another
operation.
DEAR READER - There
are several different kinds of
operations for prostate prob-
lems. Some methods involve
an incision through the skin
with complete surgical
removal of the prostate.
Another popular form of sur-
gery is the TUR (tran-
surethral resection). In this
procedure, a metal rod with a
cutting end is inserted through
the urethra. No incision is
required through the skin. The
cutting edge on the tip of the
rod is used to remove the cen-
ter of the prostate gland.
Not knowing what type of
surgery your father had
before, I can’t really answer
your question. There are other
things which have been tried,
including freezing the pros-
tate and then letting the dam-
aggj tissue gradually slough
out. This has not found wide-
spread acceptance. It has
been suggested for people who
are older and debilitated to
the point that they couldn’t
undergo normal surgical
procedures.
Now I fully understand
your father’s attitude and no
one wants to have surgery if
he can avoid it. Unfortunate-
ly, if the prostate gland
enlarges and clamps down on
the urethra, the obstructed
bladder simply can’t empty. I
would strongly encourage
your father to follow his
doctor’s advice.
DEAR DR. LAMB - As a
fringe diabetic I am very
much interested in whether or
not the use of unsweetened
grapefruit sections contain a
quantity of glucose or any
other ingredient that might be
harmful in my diabetic
menus.
DEAR READER - There’s
no such medical classification
as a fringe diabetic. The
terms used to classify the dif-
ferent stages of diabetes are
totally confused at this point,
both in their usage by the
medical profession and the
public.
I’m going to assume that
vou mean that you have a dia-
betic condition that does not
require medical treatment,
that is, regular insulin or tab-
lets to lower your blood sugar.
In that case, the most impor-
tant thing about your diet is
that the calories should be
restricted sufficiently to elim-
inate any obesity or excess
body fat that you might have.
Second, you should limit the
fat intake in your diet. Bulky
carbohydrates are all right
but you should avoid concen-
trated sweets, such as sugars
and syrups, and refined starch
as found in flour, bread and
baked goods. Specifically,
unsweetened grapefruit is
mostly carbohydrate and will
contain both glucose and fruc-
tose. These are the two single

CARRIED BY GOD
In all their affliction He was afflicted . .. ; in His love
... He bore them, and carried them. Isaiah 63
"¥“HE Lord knows all about our griefs and troubles and
| is deeply touched by them The prophet said of God
and His people, "In all their affliction He was afflict-
ed." When Jesus was here on earth, His loving heart too
was filled with compassion for needy individuals. And still
today He sustains us in our times of crisis.
An unknown author has recorded this comforting and
enlightening story: "One night I dreamed I was walking
along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life
flashed before me. In each one I noticed footprints in
the sand. Sometimes ihere were two sets, but at other
times there was only one. This bothered me because I
noted that during periods of depression, when I was suf-
fering from anguish, sorrow^ or severe testing, I could see
only a single set. So I prayed in my distress, 'You prom-
ised, Lord, that if I followed You, You'd walk with me
always. But I've noticed tb.vt du.ring the most trying periods
of my life, ther^has been just one set of prints in the
sand. Why, when I needed You most, haven’t You been
with me?' To which the Lord replied, 'The times when
only ONE set of footprints were made, My child, were
the times I CARRIED you!' "
Yes, believer, in your moments of crisis, the Good Shep-
herd will bear you up in His everlasting arms (Dt. 33:27).
No matter how deep the waters of trouble may be, God s
promise is sure: "... they shall not overflow thee" (Isa.
43:2). He'll carry you through the rising current and bring
you safely to the high plateau of His comforting peace and
sheltering love. — H.G.B.
God the Eternal is your refuge.
Let Him still your wild alarms;
Underneath your deepest sorrow
Are His everlasting arms. —Simpson
THOT: God never tends a heavy burden to weigh us down with-
out offering His mighty arm to lift us up.

Whether you buy albacore
or light tuna, the packing
medium in which it’s canned
may affect the way the tuna
tastes Oil-packed tuna gener-
ally fared better in Consumer
Reports' sensory tests than
water-packed products, which
sometimes tended to taste a
bit drier.
