Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Half-Size Style 191 Las Vegas, Nev. (U.R; In this dizzy resort town a proper and sedate school is in session where a grad uate cum laude is one who rakes in the chips the fast est. This is the Nevada School for Dealers, be lieved to be the only institution Aline Mosby 0f learning in the country that teaches gam bling. The day I enrolled there were 30 pupils 29 young men and one pretty girl in the school on a sidestreet in downtown Las Vegas. Nev., a short distance from the fancy resort hotels. Subjects Taught Three subjects are taught: rou lette, blackjack and craps. A "dealer" in gambling lingo means the person who runs any of these games. The school con sists of two plain, rooms where students stand around gaming tables, some taking the part of customers and some of dealers. Freshmen study "cutting the silver and the checks," stacking and counting chips and dollars. Counting Help SPECIAL Si Q95 Plu Fed.

To pass this course it also helps to be able to count to 21. To Graduate from blackjack takes aoout six weeks, according to the eminent president of this university. Rod Morris, an ex dealr. Roulette dealing also re dealer. Roulette dealing also re complicated crap table takes 10 weeks. There are several required courses for crap majors: the stick, the dice, various odds and bets and how to drone out, "place your bets . . . dice coming out . . . anybody the hard way. . ." Personality Needed But to get a diploma, a card signed by the teacher, you also have to have "personality." "I wash out about 20 per cent of the students because they're smart alecky," explained the professor. "A dealer must look honest and calm." Students attend classes two hours a day, five days a week for S20 weekly tuition. After commencment they get jobs at S150 a week for a six-hour day, plus heavy tips. Morris calls dealing "a good trade." "I took this course because it's better than being a cocktail waitress," a lone girl student said. "I got tired of being on my feet all day." Course Didn't Help a Bit Unfortunately, players are not allowed to enroll in the school to sharpen up on their systems. But "now and then a tourist drops in and asks some questions," smiled the teacher. I took a fast course and pass ed blackjack (a grade C in shuf fling), stumbled through roulet te and flunked at the crap table. Then I rushed back to a ca sino to try my luck at a custo mer. My course at my alma ma ter, I discovered, helped .me lose faster. ELECTED PRESIDENT San Francisco (U.R) Frank A.

Falling in Love Have you a daughter in her early twenties? Is she in love? If not, advise her to fall in love with somebody at once. Being in love is good for the health of a young woman. It was Dr. Ivor Beaumont who observed, "Love stimulates the thyroid and adrenal glands and makes you feel on the top of the world. It makes you hold back your shoulders and gets your body working at its best. A girl in love looks more beautiful, walks with more assurance and feels better." Briefly What is your shaving speed?
