DEAR DR. SCHOENFELD: We have heard from various sources that it is possible to receive advance payment (in the neighborhood of $600) for the sale of our bodies to medical schools. They would use our cadavers for research and instructional pur poses. Do you have the information ecessary to lead us to doing this? I would like to donate my body for this purpose anyway, but we could use the money to help put me through college. My wife and I have three children. I am majoring in Forest Resources Management and need the money to transfer to another university to complete my degree. Also, I need a new camera. J.A. ANSWER: According to the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco, cadavers are gratefully accepted but no payment is ever made. Nor does any other medical school anywhere pay for bodies. You've just been hearing very common but very false rumors. DEAR DR. SCHOENFELD: About the chick that wants to ow if she should wear a bra or ot, if she follows certain rules. This means exercising the muscles that normally hold up the breasts. These you can find described in any beauty book that gives exercises for breast development. Now if she starts wearing a bra all the time, sure enough every time she takes it off her boobs will sag to her waist. That's because the bra is doing the work of these muscles and the muscles stay undeveloped. I'm very heavy breasted and haven't won a bra in 10 years. I'm in my forties and short-waisted and my boobs are still well above my waist. Also if these muscles are well developed when you are pregnant, nursing will not hurt their shape. A andmother never wore a bra to profit th A bazaar in the lobby of Columbia Hall will be held April 20. Tihe purpose of the sale is for the women of the dorm to earn money. All money wili go directly to each girl who enters an item for sale. Tihere will be various crafts sold during the 12-6 p.m. bazaar.

About the only disadvantage of going without a bra and being heavy breasted is in running. Since I stay pretty much away from peace demonstrations, this hasn't been too much of a disadvantage. IBras do the same to your breasts as girdles do to your stomach and rear end. Neither is desirable. BEVERLY DEAR DR. SCIOENFELD: In the past eight months of going around without a bra I noticed quite a few stretch marks. They are quite embarrassing since I'm only 20. 1 truly believe that if I hadn't gone around natural this wouldn't have happened. Sagging also sets in early. S.S. ANSWER: My secretary says she's gone without a bra for three years and has no stretch marks. Readers often ask where they can find a book with useful in formation about drugs. An ex cellent way to start is by reading Dr. Joel Fort's THE PLEASURE SEEKERS, a Black Cat (Grove Press) paperback, $.95. In dividuals in the drug education field usually have definite viewpoints and Joel's book cer tainly conveys his strong feelings about the "drug problem." BETER HOMES AND GAR DENS said of the PLEASURE SEEKERS, "Dr. Fort, who is among the nation's most prominent authorities not only on drugs but on the entire youth subculture, is one of the very few "experts" kids listen to. Dr. Fort's book, probably the best currently available on the subject, is an elightening and provacative in troduction to the drug scene for adults who really want to un derstand it." Humm. Wonder what kind of gardens now interest that magazine'? Dr. Schoenfeld welcomes your letters. Write to him at 2010 7th Street, Berkeley, Calif. 94710.

Mal USC By JERRY CALABRESE Feature Editor No matter where one eats, he usually thinks of his mother's cooking as number one, the best. Despite this built in and seemingly insurmountable prejudice, there seems to be a plethora of establish ments battling for the number two spot. On every block of nearly every city, there are scores of resturants, cafeteria's and snack shops. How does one determine how gooed or bad an eating establishment is? Some people claim that quality is foremost, some think about price, still others believe that the key factor is atmosphere. Most resturanteurs strive fur as Wend of all factors.. On the USC campus, University Dining Services, alias ARA Slater, has more than its share of prbescnicigiscinl thtnx omm,te'enme one Inodrt oa dqaerpr oftefo#evceo4aps ti meaurlsdto No starttout whvserte eeasse Husl Cftria. i ote' cooking asr numb Hll, hebet.

Wha happns toa- tem. (durin. cing choices from 0mConment - food sen vegetables, etc.) are the best bets on the Slater bill of fare. It's a somewhat chance proposition ordering stews or casserole combinations, with the degree of quality going from very good to very bad. In all fairness to Slater, even in high priced resturants, the ratio of good casseroles is seldom more than 50 per cent . The main meats are generally good. and their price is not too bad. Vege,hles are good, but the price on crme of the items is somewhat high. Harold Brunton, vice president for business affairs said on the issue of price, "some items may seem expensive, but the average student fails to consider the cost increases recently." Brunton added. "Some items are up over 80 percent from what they were only a year or so ago. If students want some items. they will have to realize that the prices have gone up. On the matter of price, Slater officials maintain that a cafeteria customer could not g't a com parable meal any cheaper elsewhere. To some degree they are right. The average meal I ate in the various cafeterias cost anywhere from $1.50 to $2.00. This included salad or similar item, meat, various vegetables dessert and some sort of beverage. At a local cafeteria a com parable meal cost approximately the same. Of course the at mosphere was much better and the choice of meals seemed larger. I found that the meals in Russell House were a consistant "good." I was especially impressed that the quality, except for variety, remained fairly constant from the ca feterias openings to its closing. The same cannot be said for my limited exposure at the Capstone cafeteria. The food at Capstone was appreciably lacking towards closing time. Columbia Hall seemed to have the most limited menu and the quality of the food was about the same as the other cafeterias mentioned earlier. Ratina, in th9.Slaten cafeterias. Slater -Nil 40 ices one might begin to feel somewhat closed in. Most patrons of Slater eat in one cafeteria consistantly, adding to the monotony and greatly affecting the customer's criticism. Concerning this problem, Barry Fitzgerald, head of University Services said. "We realize that the same surroundings year after year tend to add to the discontent with the lood service." Ftizgerald said that a plan to change the seetings of the caleterias is being studied. This plan would allow the decour to be changcd much like the sets of a stage from time to time. One thing that becomes clear when one looks into student complaints is that everyone has a dif ferent idea of what is good. Some students like spicy food, others like bland. Some students like large meals, others lean toward quick food service like McDonalds or Burger King. It is a near impossible task to blend all the requests, preferences and complaints, but Slater claims its trying. Bob Maghan, head of the Slater operation at Carolina has invited anyone with a suggestion or complaint to feel free to tell him. Maghan has also made it known that anyone can receive a refund if they are not satisfied with the meal they have purchased. Alter a good deal of thinking, sarapling and comparing, I feel that Slater is far from perfect, but not nearly as far as some believe. The food, for institutional ser vice, is good. The prices while far Irom inexpensive, compare well with town facilities. The main weakspot of the Slater operation seems to be the facilities they lease from USC. The cafeterias are clean, but far from inviting. Some of the cold food served is more the fault of the out of date equipment (none of which Slater owns> than the food service.
