OUR TOWN; Times are tough in retailing, but the Sears-Roe- buck Foundation has just made grants to Point Loma Col\ege and the University of San Diego.... The new couches in the doctors' lounge at Scripps Hospital weren't wildly popular, even be- fore the suspicious black pelle~s were traced to a dead mouse m one of the cushions. . . . Stock- broker Tom Downs watched the parade of customers pecking out stock quotations at the La Jolla office of Merrill Lynch. ''That," he said, "is a grown-up's video- game."

EVENING TRIBUNE F'EB l O 1982 New sister-city bond with Alcala, Spain, proposed By V t1k Stone T · bu e Staff Writt'r A new sister-city relationship, be· tween San Diego and Alcala, Spain, was proposed today to the municipal International Affairs Board. _The board, made up of volunteers, wilt study the proposal and make a recommendation to Mayor Wilson and the City Council. Alcal~, an old city of_ about 200,000 people, ts about 30 miles from the Spanish capital, Madrid. San Diego has sister-city relation- ships with Yokohama, Japan; Leon, Mexico; Cavite City, the Philippines; Terna, Ghana; and Edinburgh, Scot- land. Alfonso de Bourbon of La Jolla chairman of the San Diego-Alea!; Sister City Committee, said that Spanish explorer Sebastian Viscaino "named this place after Alcala 380 years ago'· and noted that Mission San Diego de Alcala also bears the name of the Spanish city. De Bourbon, who described him- self as a goodwill ambassador and political and social scientist, said other members of his committee in- clude Rep. Bill Lowe~, R-San Diego; Horacio Rivero of Coronado, a for- mer U.S. ambassador to Spain; Dr. Author Hughes, president of the Uni- versity of San Diego; and Dr. Jonas Salk. "This will be a real people-to-peo- ple exchange program between stu- dents, professionals and scientists," De Bourbon said. "This is an action long overdue "

Campus book tores' open-door policy adds up to marketplace of knowledge By Lois Horowitz D O FtZZ\' SET TICKLE your fancy? Did you ever want to get to the bottom of the cata trophe: theo- pleasure reading along with sundries, school supplies. greeting cards, gifts, snacks and clothing provided for convenience.

"Eighty-five percent of our students hve on campus,·• said Martha Neal, bookstore mana- ger at Point Loma College. "We are not near any large shopping center." LeRoy Weber, bookstore manager for USO, which has a school of law, frankly admits that "We do sell to law-oriented people in the community but we don't have as good a selec- tion as the law bookstore downtown." Each college bookstore is unique. For ex- ample, the UCSD bookstore claims to have the most extensive psychology and philoso- phy selections in the county. About communi- ty cooperation, Diana Car, manager of the general book department, says, "We work well with HBJ, Wahrenbrock's and the chains referring people back and forth." The two- ear community colleges offer an incredibly rich array of courses, ranging from cosmetology and hairdressing for beau- tician training to electrical contracting. All require texts that are sold in the bookstores. Sheila Morton, bookstore manager at San Diego City College, said the community col- leges are partly arts and sciences - to pre- pare students for entry into the state colleges and universities - and partly vocational. Grossmont, Mesa and Southwestern com- mumty colleges offer interesting courses (and books) in electric codes, construction estimat- ing for architects, marine (shipboard) wiring, American sign language, motorcycle service and repair and dental assisting, among other subjects. If }'(')U 're going to shop campus bookstores, remember many are hard to reach and keep widely divergent hours that change with the term, term break and rush periods. Stay away the first two weeks of school unless you like crowds. Check the course catalogs at any large Ji. brary to see what's taught. Each school em- phasizes different specialties, with some overlap. It's a good idea to call college book- stores for information about their hours and location on campus before a shopping trip. A cheek with general bookstores is also a good idea because used texts sometimes float into the secondhand stores and some text-type books can be found in a trade edition in the chains. Horowitz is a.free-Janee writer.

ry? Do you have a yen to learn locksmithing, the principles of arc welding, air condition- ing theatrical makeup, hotel-motel manage- ment' Are you cunou about escrow procedures, the workings of a travel agency, fingerprint fundamentals, reading a blueprint or TV stu- iho operations? Or do your interests lie on other planes: the psychology of thinking. plasma physics, com- puter programming, nursing practice, aeroe- lai t1city or creep analysis? All of the above repre ent subjects covered m local two- and four-year colleges, but you do not have to enroll to learn about them. Colt ge bookstores most of which are non- profit operations, are open to the pubhc and have text covering these subJects and a mul- titude of others. And the price is generally right. Bookstores try to stear clear of red mk just a other retail busme ·es do, but their primary func t1on I to provide students with supplies nec- e ary for their studies, not to make money Generally, textbooks have half the mark-up of trade books Many people don't seem to realize the se- lection available through bookstores. 'Smee the technical bookstore in downtown San Diego clo d, many people panicked and started going to Los Angeles for their books In engineermg, computers, physics, chemis• try, and other technical subjects," said Charles Korkegian, trade book buyer for the Azt c Bookstore nt San Diego State Universi- ty. "They don't have to." Ch kmg a college's catalog, which tells what cours are taught, will also give you an 1d a or the book stocked on local campu es. Be 1d th conventional biology, geology, anthropology and other ologies at the Aztec book tor , th re are texts in industrial elec- tronics, woodworking, nutrition for athletes, famlly in ome management, restaurant man- agem nt and photography, to name a few Kork gl n ays some of the subjec s ar o exotic "I don't ev n kno what they r. · Cata troph and fuzzy set theories, perhaps' Books on computers comprise the Aztec tores larg t mgtc category of sates, fol- lowed by ducattonal books and aids.

Browsing on campus "Engineers from San Diego Gas & Electric Co. and other companies, teachers, people like nurses who are in professional training, and others who want to brush up or keep up in their field use the bookstore," said Kork- egian. "As a nonprofit organization, we can- not advertise but word gets around." Co!lege bookstores don't really compete with general and special bookstores. Most college bookstores stock few of the higher- profit trade books sold in general bookstores because they don't have the room. The few trade books they do carry are assigned read- mg like 'Ragtime" or "All the President's Men," used m history classes at San Diego Cny College. Some others are carried for
