You get what you pay for
For ,most of us, the question pops up most poignantly when that
little yellow envelope shows up in the mail. As you write out another
hefty tuition check, you may wonder if college is really worth it. Well,
take cheer, because an economist in, higher education has come up
with several good reasons for going to college. According to Dr.
Howard Bowen, not only will we eventually get our investments back
three times over, but the college experience adds to many other facets
of life. By going to college, we're bound to be more self-assured, con-
fident, spontaneous and less anxiety-ridden and alienated, we'll have
happier family lives, we'll be more efficient consumers, getting more
for our dollars and we'll be less addicted to television to boot. So, now
when your parents want to know what earthly good may come of
taking "The English Monarchy During the Ice Age" you'll know what
to tell them.

Trouble in Citrusland
While her campaign against homosexuality has drawn rave
reviews from some quarters, including a few Mom-and-apple-pie
members of the Michigan Legislature, one group in particular has not
been exactly thrilled with Anita Bryant's latest hobby-her em-
ployers. Officials of the Florida Department of Citrus have been
making ominous rumblings of late about Anita's future as chief
huckster for Florida orange juice. Bugged by new, market-research
studies that show that Bryant's standing, especially among young
folks, has been slipping, one official recently complained, "When con-
sumers see her, they don't think about orange juice, they think about
the gay rights issue." And, said the official, "No one likes change, but'
change is inevitable. We have to change strategies to meet consumers
taste." All of which does not bode well for Saint Anita, considering her
contract comes up for renewal this February.
His just desserts?
While John Dean III might be
used to having a little egg on his
face, it's unlikely he thought that
his current lecture would result
in having another edible substan-
ce adorn his controversial pug.
4 Nevertheless, while holding forth
at Fredonia State College ir New
York Wednesday night, Dean was
splattered by a banana-cream pie
in a less-than-direct hit. The at-
Z, tack itself was as meticulously
xsplanned as a Schembechler off-
tackle play. Moments before the
pie flew, in an apparent diver-
sionary tactic, a young prankster
in a mask stood up and hooted,
"There is.the con man, there is
w the con man!'
On the outside...
It seems the powers that be are conspiring against all of us who
must cram for midterms because they're serving up a real peach
today, just perfect for pleasant procrastination. The sun will pour
down upon us mortals like melted butter and we'll experience a
toasty high of 60 degrees. Better yet, football Saturday (dare we
believe it?) will be brilliantly sunny with a yummy high of 65 degrees.
Say what?,
Philly,
Ohio schools
may close
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Scarcity
of funds may force a shutdown of the
entire Philadelphia school system
and forty-nine school systems in
Ohio.
The Philadelphia School Board,
sidestepping skittish bankers and
mushrooming debts, drew back yes-
terday from closing its schools and
voted to keep them open two more
weeks while it looks for more money.
IF THE DOORS close, 25,000 pu-
pils could be locked out of class.
"I had a feeling things couldn't get
worse, but they have," Delores
Oberholtzer, the board's vice presi-
dent, said earlier this week amid talk
that the schools could close today.
"It's like a kid blowing into a
balloon. You blow and blow. Some-
time it has to burst. And once it does,
you can never put all the pieces back
together."
THE CITY'S financial officers
were trying for a long-term solution
yesterday, but each attempt seemed
to turn up the same answer: You
can't spend what you don't have.
At the city's 280 public schools,
many of the students were restless,
claiming they had been ripped off by
adults, especially politicians.
"If they close the schools after
Friday, there's going to be one hell of
a riot," said Grady Chance, 17, a
senior at West Philadelphia High
School.
Some 40 irate parents attended the
school board meeting yesterday, but
were cut off by School Board
President Arthur Thomas, who end-
ed the sessioni before they had a
chance to register their complaints.
Meanwhile in Ohio, forty - nine
school districts have moved toward
closing schools for lack of money,
with Toledo's almost certain to shut
today and Cleveland's open only by a
fluke. An official here says it all
means the state must have a new
way to finance schools.
"SURE, WE'RE going to have to
make cutbacks and try to be more ef-
ficient on our part. But we have to
find a better way to fund public edu-
cation. . . eventually," says Michael
Hoffman, clerk - treasurer of the
Cleveland school district.
He could have been speaking about
any of dozens of cash-poor districts in
Ohio. The state forbids schools to
operate in the red, and this year 49
districts applied for state audits as a
fi4st step toward closing.
;And the state school superintend-
ent has authorized four of them -
Cleveland and Toledo included - to
shut their doors.
In Toledo, with 54,010 pupils, today
is the last scheduled day.- After that,
classes are to close until the end of
the year, unless voters pass a 6.1 mill
levy increase on Nov. 8 , ballot.
And the 110,000-pupil Cleveland dis-
trict was to be closed last week
because of a cash-flow problem
which made it unable to pay off 129
million in bank notes by the end of the
year.
