Her real name is Mary Glatzle. “Muggable Mary” is a 37-year-old decoy cop who in her 10 years with the police department has gone out on the street with a backup team in a variety of disguises — among them an old woman — to invite would-be robbers.

BRING THIS COUPON & COME ON OVER to e BOOK Store United Press International The U. S. Department of Educa tion, the nation’s new Cabinet-level post, is supposed to cut a lot of red tape in Uncle Sam’s dealings with state and local school systems. The new department, voted into existence Thursday by the House of Representatives, takes some educa tion functions out of HEW and leaves some in. For example, the HEW will con tinue to handle grants to schools of public health. The new agency will handle grants to local education agencies. The department is not meant to become a “big brother” looking over the shoulder of state and local edu cation departments, taking away their independence. Dr. Mary Frances Berry, assis tant HEW secretary for Education, now the highest federal education post, made that point in an inter view at the start of the new school OPEN 8—7 pm i year. With “education” in the Depart ment of Health, Education and Wel fare, there’s “so much claptrap” to go through getting paper — propo sals, contracts to the top for action, she said. It is hoped the paper won’t have so many levels to pass through after President Carter signs the educa tion bill. But those waiting for fed eral grants or approval on federally assisted education programs shouldn’t hold their breath. Insiders say the “more efficient” system will not take shape until most education functions are ex tracted from HEW. The new name for HEW, by the way, will be De partment of Health and Human Services. About $14 billion in programs will be transplanted into the Depart ment of Education — along with 17,400 workers. Not included in the new depart ment are school breakfast, school lunch, school milk programs funded by the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. But some education programs now outside HEW will be inside. These include: — From the National Science Foundation: pre-college teacher de velopment in science; minority in stitutions science improvement program. — From the Department of Jus tice: Law enforcement education and internship program. — From the Department of Housing and Urban Development: College housing loan program. — From the Department of Labor: High school equivalency and TUESDAY NIGHT BUFFET 6-8:30 ONLY Children ages 2-7 only $1.09 Children under 2 years old FREE!
