Cross between chess. Monopoly Game teaches students tricks of government Associated Press NFAV BRUNSWICK, N.J. An "elected official" got up at fiic- meeting and yelled, "Lot's assassinate the mayor! 1 Revolution? No, it's a board game that is helping mayors, planners, and students come to grips with the problems of pollution, bad housing and other urban ills. The game is called Community Land Use and is serving as a teaching device at more than 120 colleges and universities. It was developed, through a grant from the Ford cl a i by researchers atCornell Universi- scarcners at Cornell University.

Margaret Monroe, also a consultant operational gaming for the department of environmental resources at Rutgers College of Agriculture and Environmental Science, who worked with Dr. Alan Feldt to devise the game, calls it a cross be- LESS AT HOME LONDON (AP)-Only about one in seven births now take place at home in Britain, less than half the proportion in 1961, a government survey showed. t.woen Monopoly and chess. It is considered to be as complicated as a game, can get without, requiring a computer. The game is played on a grid containing 196 squares.

On the squares are placed models representing factories, stores, houses, utility lines, and other elements of a city. The players are divided into five teams of two persons each. Each team represents private interests trying to make as much money as it can in real estate operations. As the game progresses, the city is built up and, within five real-lime hours, 20 years' wor of slums and snarled transportation lines dominate the board. ''The players become very frustrated; no matter how idealistic they try to be the same horrible conditions result," said Mrs.

Monroe. There are various modifications of the game. For example, Mrs. Monroe said, players at a session in St. Louis assumed political roles.

The "mayor" and his cronies gained control of the board, and none of the other players were able to effect any changes in the miniature society that had been created. That's when the "elected official" said, "Let's assassinate the mayor." Mrs. Monroe explained. "There finally wasn't, anything else the "outs'' could do except get rid of the powerful players by Games such as Community Land Use test players' knowledge of problems such as population density, taxes, zoning and management of natural resources, Mrs. Monroe said.

"The game works two ways," she added. "For the first time, some planners discovered the real processes of decision making that are affecting their jobs and their cities." At the same time, she said, idealistic students are coming to grips with the difficulties of getting things done in modern society. Carl Klotz, a planner in Morris County, N.J., said the game teaches valuable lessons in the economics of cities, Klolz said, "You can relate the things that happen, in the game," he YORK AIR CONDITIONING GET TOTAL COMFORT NOW CURRIE'S 254-2187 All Work Guaranteed said, "to what happened in Newark," a city wilh vast urban problems.
