Recreational and league bowlers are invited to Bowl For Kids
this Sunday, April 12, at Fort Monmouth lanes, on Route 35 in
Fort Monmouth-Eatontown, NJ.  Requested donation is $20.

SPONSORS, BOWLERS SOUGHT IN ANNUAL BENEFIT FOR BIG BROTHERS/BIG SISTERS

RED BANK:  Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Monmouth County has issued
an appeal to local businesses and residents for assistance at its
annual Bowl For Kids' Sake benefit to be held in April.  Businesses
and residents are being asked to sponsor bowlers, paying a set amount
for each pin knocked over.  The agency also is asking companies to
provide prizes and refreshments.

"Celebrity Day" will be held on April 12th, from 11AM to 
5PM at Fort Monmouth Bowling Center.
It will mark the 10th time the agency has held the event,
and several big celebrities will be in attendance, including
Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr., PBA Pro Bowler Dennis Jacques,
"Mrs. New Jersey 1992," and NFL players Bill Ard of the Green
Bay Packers and Tony Siragusa of the Indianapolis Colts!
Honorary Chairperson Major General Alfred J. Mallette has provided
strong support for Bowl For Kids' Sake at Fort Monmouth, where
several hundred bowlers are expected to bowl on Celebrity Day.
Celebrity Day is the climax of Bowl For Kids' Sake, since Bowl
For Kids' Sake begins with league participation during "League
Event Weeks" earlier in March and April.

Last year, the agency raised almost one third of its annual revenues
through Bowl For Kids' Sake, which is endorsed by the Pro Bowlers
Association.

Big Brothers/Big Sisters is an organization that matches adults with
school-age children from primarily one-parent homes. Professional
staff supervise the matches, and volunteers provide support for
children "at risk" -- that is, without a strong role model.
The agency currently serves over 100 Monmouth County children,
but has a backlog of children who are waiting to be matched
with an adult.
"We need the community's help to get these kids off of the waiting
list," said Sandy Brown, President of the agency's Board. "There are
too many children in our community not getting the services they need.
Bowl For Kids' Sake helps us raise the funds we need to reach more kids."

There is always a need for more volunteers to act as matches for
"littles".  Volunteers are asked to spend four hours per week for
one year with a child.  Several companies in Monmouth County,
such as AT&T, encourage employees to become involved.

Further information on Bowl For Kids' Sake or becoming a volunteer
is available by calling (908) 530-9800.

It's kind of short notice, but he will also be at the Summit High School
tonight, April 6, at 8pm.  If tickets are still available, they're $10.
Information can be had by calling 908-273-1141.  For that matter, one
person in my group cancelled, so I have an extra, if anybody's interested.

BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION INVITES TESTIMONY ON CRITICAL
ISSUES


        The New Jersey State Board of Higher Education's
Strategic Planning Committee will hold a series of public
hearings on the issues identified in the report entitled
"New Jersey Higher Education Strategic Planning Issues." 
The first in the series of three hearings is scheduled to
take place on April 10, 1992 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the
Alumnae Lounge, Saint Joseph's Hall, at the College of Saint
Elizabeth in Convent Station, New Jersey.  Additional
hearings will be held on April 20th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. at Burlington County College in Pemberton and on April
28th from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Department of Higher
Education in Trenton.

        Members of the higher education community and the
public are invited to express their views to the Board's
Strategic Planning Committee on the eight issues targeted
for task force study as well as on concurrent or reaffirmed
issues.  Alternative issues and issues to be considered in
future planning activities may be proposed.  Among those
scheduled to speak are former Governor Thomas Kean,
President of Drew University; Tom Lancaster, Visiting Media
Specialist at Stockton State College; Paula Rothenberg,
Director of the New Jersey Gender Project; and Martin
Finkelstein, Director of the New Jersey Institute for
Collegiate Teaching and Learning.  

        The Strategic Planning Committee considers public
testimony vital to its development of a statewide strategic
plan for higher education.  No formal action on any proposal
will be taken at this hearing.  Persons wishing to testify
should telephone the Office of Statewide Planning at (609)
984-3438.  

        Those testifying will be asked to submit their
testimony in writing at the hearing.  In order to
accommodate all persons who would like to speak, appearances
before the Committee will generally be limited to five
minutes.  Copies of the report are available from the Office
of Statewide Planning at the number listed above.

I disagree: the system works exactly as we designed it to
operate over the past 200 years. It's our expectations and
our grip on reality that have failed.
Marty's second statement (Candidates win...) is absolutely
accurate and *we* allow it to happen.

People, as a rule, have mixed expectations (better services
at a greatly reduced cost) or colliding values (more local
voice in a stronger, more patriarchical centralized government).

People *choose* (repeatedly) the choices which they think will
get them EVERYTHING - like a conservative republican president 
with a liberal, democratic congress. We all think of it as
checks and balances, but it becomes paralysis in the end. Thus
the system erodes.

We become the dupes of any semi-literate or crook who can
persuade us that all our negative suspicians are right and
he/she can deliver all our dreams - that we *don't have to 
think about it*...someone will take care of it for us.
We fall for it all the time.

We are the problem, in our consistent refusal to realize that
we probably can't afford to have it all and our refusal
to recognize that hard problems usually don't have easy solutions.

Case in point: as a society we really do want to educate children
with serious problems like retardation or autism or physical
impaiments. Howvever, we're not prepared to pay the cost
when it shows up in the tax bill. Somehow, the two things
become disconnected in our minds and we claim the process
doesn't work.

From what I recall in the newspapers, the original bill came
into being in the aftermath of the death of a 14 year old due
to head injuries.  The girls father, a doctor, has been
pushing this legislation ever since.  The argument, is the
same as all the other arguments (bycycle helmet bill, speed
limit at 55, runny eggs, ad nauseum.), to wit, "If it saves
just one lfe, we should do it."

Now I'm not an anti-safety nut, BUT I am getting very tired
of everyone else, through the passage of laws, telling me what
I should or shouldn't do relative to taking (accepting) the
risks associated with various aspects of life, sports, etc.

This is the same argument that "society", the legislators, etc.
use to justify their meddling into the private lives and choices
of individuals.  Using that logic, we should simply outlaw anything
that contains the risks that may result in permanent,
long term medical costs:  Such as, but not obvioulsy limited to:
auto racing, pleasure riding of motorcvycles, swimming, any contact
sport, pleasure flying (private planes), etc.

[Disclaimer:  I'm not an economist]

Tax & spend is not the same as deficit spending.  Deficit spending is,
by definition, spending _without_ compensating through taxes;  i.e., it's
spending more than you tax.  Tax&spend is not an economic stimulant.
It just transfers money from the private sector to the public.
If that's what you want to do, go ahead, but don't call it a stimulus.

I remember the last Republican president.  Deliberately slowing down
the economy to correct a monetary imbalance was a lousy idea.  In
spite of all the declarations of prosperity, we never recovered.  And
I remember the current president: letting a misinformed ambassador
trick Iraq into war with us was not a triumph of foreign policy.

A vote for Bush is a vote for the status quo.  A vote for Clinton, on
the other hand, is not a vote for Carter, and it might be viewed as a
vote for change.  A vote for an independent may "send a message," but
it will put either Bush or some Democrat in the White House for the
next four years, whether you like it or not, and you won't have any
say in which it is.

I grant that point.  The political system has failed.  Candidates win
on their ability to get elected, which has nothing to do with their
ability to govern.  And our educational system is so bad that most
voters don't even know the difference.

Remember Parkinson's Law - institutions degrade.  The question is
whether the entire U.S. has irreparably deteriorated, or just the
political parties.  In the former case, there is nothing left to do
but, as you say, hope to be somewhere else when it all collapses.  In
the latter case, you could help form another party - which is not the
same as voting for a convenient independent.
