Costs Vary Widely

The cost of going to college varies
widely on different campuses. If
your funds are limited you will
want to consider those places where
scholarships are more plentiful, or
where part-time work is more
available.
Or you may want to think about
the cooperative schools, where stu
dents go to classes part of the year
and work the other weeks.
If it's prestige you are after you
will want to make your choice
among the colleges that are better
known. rather than those which
might offer other inducements.
The fact is that every high
schooler who wants to go to college
must choose on the basis of deci-
sions that specifically involve him

Gas mileage, like safety. depends
on the motofist as well as on the
running condition of his car. AS a
matter of fact. gas-saving driving
techniqueS will also promote the
safety cause.
Every driver can minimize gas
consumption by practicing these
five rules:
/. When starting the engine
don't race it to warm up quickly
nor let it idle too long.
2. Accelerate easily and steadily.
Never try to leap away like a jack
rabbit-but don't creep along in
lower gears either.
3. While you are driving avoid
any tendency to pedal-pump or
feed gas in spurts Hold steady
pace at moderate speed.
4. Reduce speed when taking cor
ners or curveS-there's less tire re-
SiStance when you do.
s. Slow down gradually. Save
sudden braking for emergencies

there are all kinds of ways to make
the grade financially.
Even if your grades in high school
aren't good enough to meet most
of the standards you've heard about.
there are still ways and means of
being accepted as a college student
somewhere.
ALI you have to have is the de-
termination to go.
First off. you want to be sure you
really want to go on to higher edu-
cation. Will it bring you knowledge
you want to have? Will it add
enough to what you already know
that it justifies the time you'll
spend?
If your answer is yes" then
there's another set of questions for
you to answer.
What do you want to get out of
college, anyway? General education
or specialized training? New friend
ships? The prestige of a university
degree? Other advantages?
Once you answer that set of
questions, you'll be able to narrow
your field a little bit. For every
college or university has certain
virtues that others may not have.
