4—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Nov. 4, 1981 Weekend fire causes safety concerns for ARHS By SHARON TAYLOR Bally Collegian Staff Writer A weekend fire in Hamilton Hall prompted a renewed concern about fire safety in the residence halls at last night's meeting of the Association of Residence Hall Students council. Jonathon Mount, a representative from West Halls, stressed increased concern from University officials as well as students on fire safety. • The Sunday fire caused about $75 damage to equip ment when a student living in Hamilton Hall fell asleep while candles were burnirig on his desk, Mount said. Students saw the smoke and proceeded to put out the fire. However, Mount said no one pulled the fire alarm, so University Police Services did not repond to the fire, he said. Karen Gravlin, ARHS vice president, said, "This incident stresses what Jon has been saying the importance of making the University and students aware of fire safety and fire safety hazards making them aware of what they should do in these situations." Mount said that the fire safety comittee would contin- THE DELI 41)cs C 7 Mon., Tues. & Wed 10 p.m.-1 a.m. • Me i t t at the ;4 - ai AWAIT air av wart" / M car, 4,, ri f s Trip a journalist today. ue to work on this issue in an attempt to better equip the University's fire safety program. Mount said members should gather information which shows how other universities have handled prob lems concerning fire safety. He also plans to have some sort of correspondence with the National Fire Protec tion Agency in Washington. "We will go to the state legislature if we have to go that far," he said, "to get a little better protection for students living in the dorms." In other matters, ARHS President Chris Calkins said the group will hold a news conference at 5 tonight in 20A HUB to voice their concerns which were prompted by University President John W. Oswald's comments at a news conference last week. At that conference, Oswald announced that Universi ty buildings would be closed at 3 p.m. on Nov. 21, during the Notre Dame game. Although Oswald did not comment on an ARHS proposal to keep the either White Building or Findlay recreation room open after the game for students who need a place to stay, those buildings will be closed because of that decision. *.*** I SHALL RETURN!

The reception is planned in conjunction with an ARHS objective to provide a place for students, alumni and other fans to stay who do not want to fight traffic after the game, Cluck said. Fourteen USG senators have volunteered to help the ARHS council with this project. USG and ARHS mem bers will be working jointly to determine the logistics of the postgame program, he said. Cluck said that although USG reserved the rooms in the HUB, he would prefer ARHS help with the post game service. "By no means is this Cluck riding in on his white horse to save the day," he said. Calkins said the two student groups are "working with people downtown to provide some kind of space for students (who 'do not want to leave State College Saturday evening)." However, he said neither group has gotten any confir mation concerning downtown housing after the game.

But if you can't seem to study without lots of crunchy munchies to keep you company, take heart I've some price advice to get you through the end of the term without breaking your budget. First, as this week's survey shows, you can save 36 cents or more on nearly every item by comparison shopping between stores. Savings ranged from a measly 6 cents on Nature Valley Granola Clusters to 36 cents on Sara Lee All-Butter pound cake. So, depending on how extravagant your tastes are and. where you shop, you can really do yourself a favor by comparison shopping. Now, before you dash out to compare the prices of Twinkies and Fudgie-Wudgies at 47 different stores, let me give you a few handy guidelines that'll make your junk food shopping and binges a little easier on your wallet. First, almOst every snack food item' you buy costs less in a grocery store than it does in a small convenience store, where you're paying' for the convenience of shopping after regular business hours. So, if you'd walk from here to Altoona at midnight for a quart of strawberry strangle ice cream, a bag of Stale! brand chips and six dehydrated dill pickles, you can save a bundle just by purchasing these delicacies at your Joe-average grocery store. Unfortunately, the prices of many of the snack items that junk food junkies love best like potato chips and cheese twists —vary little, if at all, fx'om place to place. On potato chips and similar bag-type munchies, for example, the price stamped on the container by the manufacturer is the one you'll pay, even in convenience stores like Majik Market and Boots Dairyette. The one exception is Weis Market, which offers discounts of about 6 cents on each package. You can save on soda and other drinks by avoiding the convenience stores when pur chasing these items. A six-pack of 12-ounce cans of soda can cost as much as 50 cents more when you buy it in your late-night desperation than if you waited until morn- REDISCOVER ISRAEL : Come and gain an understanding why Israel : is special and unique in the modern world. 1 : • • (1) Films on Israel Thursday November sth 7:30 and 8:30 P.M.

Once you've broken yourself of the dash to-the-store-I'm-hungry routine, you're also in a better position to choose • the most nutritious in junk food items. Sound crazy? It isn't. If you really thought awhile, you could probably come up with some nutri tious sti.ack you'd be happy with like raw broccoli or carrot sticks. Well, if those don't exactly strike you as being mouth-watering snacks, but you want something . a little more worthwhile than those rubbery little cupcakes you get in packages of two, you're not alone. Companies like Nature Valley and Quaker Oats have come to the rescue with a variety of incredibly expensive granola snacks. Most varieties cost $1.49 per 6- to 8-ounce box and contain between five and eight servings. If $1.49 seems like an incredible price for six skinny little snacks, get yourself some real granola or natural cereal for about $1.69 per pound and munch to your all-natural heart's content. If, like me, you occasionally wander down the grocery aisles just waiting for some good snack to leap out at you from the shelves, let me give you a bit of advice. Don't believe all those "Special . Sale Bargain" signs that stare at you from nearly every display these days. Stores are becoming more and more adept at catching the eye of the hungry (and unsuspecting) student who wanders around looking for something that goes well with Chem 12. .

Not only may those Granite Chippos cookies you're looking at not really be on sale, but they might even cost more in front of that sale sign than they do anywhere else in town. If you're a late-night cookie monster, you can save some bucks by making your own cookies from prepackaged refriger ator dough instead of purchasing the expensive, store-bought cookies. For example, Chips Ahoy brand choco late chip cookies in the 13-ounce package cost $1.49 at A&P. But a whole pound of Pillsbury Slice and Bake chocolate chip cookies (in the raw, of course) costs just $1.39. So it pays to have access to an oven. A lll ` 3e-- ita/f)e- If you're a chip-and-dip muncher, you should know it pays to make your French onion dip from scratch, with sour cream and dry onion soup mix. If you think you're getting a real bargain by purchas ing commercially-made onion dip, just read the label of that bargain special to see what's in it. Most of the brands I checked espe cially the bargain-priced ones had no sour cream in them at all. They con tained neat substitutes that give them their uneventful flavor. But if you absolu tely must have someone else stir the seasoning into your sour cream dip for you, expect to pay 75 cents or more for real sour cream onion dip. And, since an 8-ounce container of plain sour cream costs less than 50 cents at most places, you can add dry soup or dip mix and not dip into your savings. Shop wisely and beware of phony bargains and you'll get more mun chies for your money. Denise Shane is an 11th-term English writing major and a staff writer for The Daily Collegian.
