game of chess is often not properly understood by the beginner, with the result that newcomers to the game often find themselves losing within a very short time. By following a few easy-to-apply guidelines, anyone should be able to emerge from the first ten. moves ofha game with a good, safe position. Always play for domin- ation of the centre, either directly (with the place-

the central squares) or in— directly; for example, by moving the bishops to the N2 squares (called the fianchetto).

Develop all the pieces, not just one or two.

Once the T.V. is on, it stays flickering for the rest of thenight through commercials, poor programs, etc. How many people have fallen asleep before a T.V.? It takes little to croSs a room and hit the off but- ton. Yet a T.V. will stay on until the test pattern alerts the audience that this medium is finished for another doy.

Why should we spend $l050 for a T.V. in the barn for p

pubs which are attended by a few regulars? The resi- dences have not as yet been able to obtain cable (this may be part due to house committee priorities.)
