Four Good Reasons to Enroll for Summer Session
at the Delaware County Campus
Ril
1. The ‘KILLER’ Course
“You've put it off long enough, right?
oo Believe us, it won't go away; you will
have to take it eventually, Why not take
it this summer? The pressures are fewer
and you can really concentrate on what
‘you think you don’t want to learn. In
Just 8 weeks, you'll be home free!
2. The Semester Calendar
Starting in August, the University
will convert to an early semester calen-
dar, with 15 weeks of instruction per
semester. All of us will have to get used
to that. Why not lighten your course
load for Fall Semester by completing
one or two courses ahead of time?
3. Inauspicious Beginnings
Okay, so you blew one along the way
and it has to be repeated. The relaxed at-
mosphere of the Summer Session — day
or evening — is a great time to REALLY
concentrate on the course that ‘got
away’’ the first time.
4. New People I oe
The campus’ Summer Session tradi-
tionally enrolls scores of students from
University Park and from other colleges
and universities. Many of them have
great bodies. And minds. Who knows?
Anything could happen. (To enhance the
possibilities, you might consider
Humanities 2: The Meanings of Love.)

‘Consumer Notes Advertise In Lion’s
Classified
The mouthwash you keep
casually on the bathroom shelf
may pose a real danger to your
small children, says Dennis
Murphy, Penn State Extension
safety specialist.
The color, flavor and smell of
mouthwash are attractive to
curious toddlers. The National
Poison Center Network reports
that during a recent 18-month
period, 422 cases of mouthwash
poisoning in children under six
were recorded.
Mouthwash contains alcohol
— sometimes as much as 27
percent. Drinking even a part of
a bottle can cause stupor, coma
or even death in a young child.
Since mouthwash bottles’ don’t
have safety caps, it’s up to
parents to keep these potential
poisons out of reach.

Pet Parasites Can Infect
People
A Penn State University
study found that half of all dogs
and cats have internal parasites
that can infect people.
Dr. Hans Rothenbacher, pro-
fessor of veterinary science,
studied the internal parasites of
more than 700 dogs and 200
cats during a five-year period.
Among strays, which ac-
‘ counted for half the animals, 75
percent were found to be in-
fected. All pups from one to 15
weeks of age in the study were
infected.
“The average litter box, sand-
box or soil has a high concentra-
tion of eggs or cysts that can
survive for many years,” says
Dr. Rothenbacher. “If children
ingest such eggs or cysts, lar-
vae development can cause
"severe reactionss.”’
Pregnant women should
avoid handling of dog or cat
feces. Pets should be kept from
congregating, and feces remov-
ed from the yard promptly.
Dr. Rothenbacher warns that
worm medicines are potentially
poisonous to pets. Thus, such
medicines should be used only
when needed as determined by
laboratory examination of the
feces. Prescription wormers
should be used only under
supervision of a parasitologist
or a veterinarian.
Over-the-counter womers,
though safer, tend to be limited
in effectiveness. Often, non-
prescription wormers are not ef-
fective against a specific
parasite.

Warranties have come out of
the dark ages in recent years.
~ Fine print is no longer allowed
by law, so you don’t need a
magnifying glass to read them.
"You don’t need a law degree
to interpret them, either. War-
ranties must: specify whether
they're full or limited, clearly
describe what is and isn’t
covered, state their duration
and tell how to make a warran-
ty claim.
In fact, says Marilyn M.
Furry, Extension family
resources specialist at Penn
State University, one of the big-
gest problems with warranties
today is that consumers don’t
read them. They usually don’t
even think about them until the
freezer breaks down or the
range doesn’t heat up.
Then comes a hectic and
often unsuccessful hunt for the
warranty certificate. To com-
plicate matters further, many
manufacturers require proof of
date purchase, such as a sales
slip.
Ms. Furry suggests keeping
warranty certificates and the
appropriate sales slips
together. These should be filed
in some organized way, along
with other important papers
you keep at home.
A systematic plan for keep-
ing track of important papers
can save hours of anxious sear-
ching, help preserve peace and
harmony, and make it easier to
cope with difficult and
emergency situations.
