Prices don’t vary Careers displayed The neighborhood supermarket may seem much more expensive than the one down the road a bit, but according to a March 23 sur vey, there is no significant dif ference in prices. Community Protection Group, a fledgling consumer’s advocate or ganization in College Station- Bryan, has compiled a list of 50 national brand items in the ten major feed chain stores in the area. Store brands, which are of varying qualities, were not con sidered in the survey. Pd. Pol.

What are the symptoms of mononucleosis? Can you get it twice and how contagious is it? A. Infectious mononucleosis is a usually benign disease of unknown cause, but probably it is of infectious and viral origin. The commonest symptoms are low grade erratic fever, sore throat and tonsillitis, lymph node enlargement and tenderness especially in the neck, generalized malaise, easy fatiguability and weakness. The diagnosis is confirmed by typical findings in the blood and positive “mono-spot” test. Infectious mono is characterized by not uncommon relapses, but actual reinfections are probably rare. Although the causative agent is not known (it is probably a virus), it appears to be moderately contagious, usually by fairly intimate contact such as kissing, etc. Q. Why do we need salt in our diet? A. Salt (sodium chloride) is essential to life. It is an important extra-cellular constituent of humans since blood is essentially a salt solution. The body cannot manufacture salt, so a dietary intake of 800 to 1,000 milligrams daily is required to balance the unavoidable loss of salt through urine, sweat and gastro-intestinal fluids. Q. Are there hookworms in this area? A. To my knowledge, hookworms are relatively rare in this area. Primarily, this is because hookworms favor a region that is tropical or semi-tropical and has plentiful rainfall. The latter is in order that the infective larval stage may penetrate the skin before drying out. The best way of preventing hookworm infestation is simply to wear shoes since the larval stage usually enters the skin of bare feet. * * * Last week’s “Doctor’s Door” concerned a question on abortion, and a correction is in order for that column. It was mentioned that a girl considering an abortion “may , consult the high school counseling service.” The counseling service mentioned was intended to be the council on human sexuality at the University Health Center. This is the toughest school in America. For some kids, learning to walk is a long, difficult process. Lessons in simple movements are practiced over and over again. Progress is painfully slow. But always the goal is to walk. And when that first step is taken, the money you send suddenly becomes worth it. Please. A lot of brave kids need your contributions. Send what you can to help us teach kids to walk. Help us teach kids to walk. c Give to Easter Seals. Easter Seals: c/o your local postmaster The Food Comparison Survey, conducted by Tom Milholland and Ted Shelton, found that there was only a $2.55 difference between the total basket prices of the lowest and highest stores. Although Fedmart proved to be the lowest, Milholland warned shoppers to “beware.” He cited such inadequacies as having a small selection of goods, saying, “Fedmart only had 21 of the 50 items surveyed. Average prices were inserted for all the missing items. All of their national brands were a few cents cheaper.” Milholland said that although Fedmart is cheaper, it may not prove so in the produce depart ment. “Whereas in a store like Skaggs you can buy one orange or one tomato, at Fedmart you have to buy four or six, as all of their produce is prewrapped,” he said. The Community Protection Group intends to continue the survey every several months. They also have plans to visit liquor stores and the shelves of toy stores at Christmastime to check for dangerous toys. The stores surveyed and their total basket prices of the items are: Fedmart, $43.91; Kroger Co., $45.44; Skaggs Albertson’s, $44.74 and Weingarten’s J. Inc., $45.32. Also surveyed were the four Piggly Wigglys which ranged in price from $46.46 to 45.39; and the two Safeways which were $44.98 and $45.01.

Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes By TED BORISKIE Lou Reed, the latest version of the slow-road-to-stardom rock star, has possibly the biggest rec ord of the year. “Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal,” Reed’s latest, is one of the most confi dent live recordings in years, de spite the lack of the aesthetic and ethereal advances of the earlier “Transformer.” Consisting of songs he wrote for the Velvet Underground, a moderately successful group Reed was with years ago. The album sounds as if it was recorded some time ago. The cuts, however, do not suffer with age. This is one of the more en joyable live albums I’ve heard, rating alongside “Get Yer Ya- Ya’s Out” and “Live at Leeds.” The sound is crisp and clear, without surrendering any of the dynamics of hard rock, and each song commands your attention from the opening guitar leads. The disc was produced by Reed and Steve Katz, who some might remember as guitarist from Blood, Sweat and Tears and, be fore that, Blues Project. It comes out as tight and as lively as any one could expect from seeing Reed in concert. Side one consists of old Under ground favorites “Sweet Jane” and “Heorin.” take on a special meaning. He rocks on much heav ier than he did with the studio version and the vocals are more straightforward and a lot less tortured. “White Light/White Heat” leads off side two but “Rock ‘n’ Roll,” which closes the side, could be the most realized and probably the most potentially successful song of the album. I am always suspicious of songs that have “rock 'n’ roll” in the title but I can find none more de serving of the label than this one by Reed. Reed, whose voice is sort of a cross between Dylan and street punk, never lets up, following Steve Hunter’s soaring and screeching guitar to the fatiguing climax of the piece, never letting up for a second. “Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal” can be bought as sort of a Lou Reed re trospective of the Velvet Under ground years. John Gale’s violin and Nico are missing but Reed’s unque personality dominates this record like it was never allowed while with the Underground.
