How does the State Board of Elections serve the The State Board of Elections has just issued a new pamphlet that answers some of the questions frequently asked by Illinois voters about the young agency. The pamphlet, "Your Slate Board of Elections," is free to the public. The State Board of Elections was created under the new Illinois Constitution as the state agency with the responsibility for coordinating and interpreting election laws throughout the state, and making election, procedures uniform all over Illinois. The board's programs are geared to improving and simplifying the tried cheating and that didn't help. He's invincible.

How can you beat 'erh? You can't. In tennis you never beat anybody. They beat themselves. And that's how you must play the dinker. Give him an opportunity to beat himself.

The dinker is the champ only becuase he has a longer "tennis ball attention span." What's that? "TBAS" is the amount of patience each player displays in his game. Some player's attention is good for two shots, some three, some four some jean hit eight balls in a row bejore- getting impatient and malting a nervous mistake. If you are going to be competitive with the Champ, you'll have to play like one. Give the dinker an opportunity to demonstrate his "TBAS." Pretend you are a "human get everything back. Try to move him around.

Obviously this can be aeeom- pushed only if you have the skills. (If you don't, then relax, taking your whipping in stride.) Can you hit a short angled underspin ball to his forehand and follow it mp with a deep drive to his backhand? Now take a step into the court and anticipate a weak return. It's tough to beat the dinker from the baseline. This is the election process. The board also is responsible for informing and educating voters.

The board's work involves not only election day activities but all activities prior to and following an election. Thus, the State Board of Elections is able to compile information on all aspects of the election process. And, because staff members work closely with local election authorities in all parts of Illinois, the board learns of innovative procedures that benefit election authorities statewide and results in valuable information for individual voters, no matter where they live in Illinois. If you have any questions about any aspects of the elec- playing situation where he feels the most comfortable. We must try to make him uncomfortable.

The dinker often sets up camp deep behind the baseline. Most players don't have the skills to drop-shot, so he doesn't concern himself with the short ball. This bit of info may prove helpful to us. If we can occasionally play a short underspin approach shot that bounces inside the service line, we may catch the dinker sleeping. He'll be forced to run in to play the short low ball.

We can get close to the net and force him to hit the ball up. Then we can smash it down his throat! (Just kiddin'!) From the net we have a wider angle with which to work. Again, it is imperative to have, the necessary skills before venturing up there. For example, being at the net without an adequate overhead is like going hunting without ammunition. You won't scare anybody.

Remember the dinker depends on your careless errors to get him through the battle. He doesn't have a weapon. His offense is a good defense. If you use your imagination and do not give him free points, you stand a better chance. At least you'll get a great workout.
