Adams St you promise to protect me, I'll help you," whispered one young player to his partner during the game's negotiations. THE SECOND ANNUAL Chicago International Tournament and Exposition of Simulation Gaming CITEX 75 filled the hotel's ballroom with miniature soldiers, ships, and airplanes and with games that furrowed the brows of players. Some 2,000 players were expected from across the country and Canada.

Friday afternoon, before many older enthusiasts had left work, the ballroom was filled with younger players. Some had become interested in war gaming when history teachers used such games in class. Others belonged to school gaming clubs or just liked a certain period in military history, s. "It's fun to try to imagine how people would have acted back then," said one bespectacled player whose favorite historical time is the Napoleonic era. "It's fun to try to put yourself back in their time, knowing how things really turned out." Players as young as 14 were moving tanks and airplanes on the cloth-covered tables.

"Some are history buffs and some just like competitive games based more on brainpower than chance," Gordon Anderson, a Chicago printer and one of the exposition's organizers, Daily Mixers Weekly Socials Weekend Trips With Other Singlesv Dance Parties Danes Classes Supper Club Parties By Kleiman HOW TO find Job ta Chicago. That sounds like a good thing for women to know, especially women looking for But where do you start, with today's recession, unemployment, and job cutbacks? 1 One helping hand is a new publication, "The Job Hunter'a Notebook" $3.50, published by Flexible Careers, a nonprofit, volunteer organization working on women's employment issues in the Chicago area. Researchers for the booklet, available at local bookstores and at the Loop Center YWCA, 37 S. Wabash interviewed executives in 16 Industries and five career fields in Chicago. They talked to the people who do the hiring and found out exactly what they want.

The results are in the booklet, plus advice on resumes, contacts, sources, career guidance, and the whole 40-hour week. Here are some "Job Hunter's" conclusions: In spite of a tight job market, many people get jobs thru personal or professional contacts. Nontraditional fields, the trades, finance, manufacturing, and utilities, continue to be difficult for women to enter. i Greatest employment growth is in technical areas: engineering, accounting, data processing, insurance, and health. Women will have to overcome their resistance to math and science since these are important tools in many diversified fields.

There are jobs out there, but be prepared for some hard work in finding the one that's right for you. Much of the preliminary hard work is done in the booklet's thoro rundown of trades in arts, communications, finance, government, health, insurance, manufacturing, retailing, science and technology, service, social service, and travel. "Job Hunter's Notebook" is the result of a six-month project, funded by the Chicago Community Trust. SINGLE-MINGLE DANCE CLUB 664-3771 47-746 3t6-935 961-7341 239-334 12.2524 NEAR NORTH! 936 N.

THE CAST RssmI Dmuwmi Dwty Clydttdala Tbaatfor Frank Stlllwtll LmmkJ Snara 'miiar Saa Clark DaaKaatti TiajCaawar tllMPlcttm Jab McOirar By Gene Siskel Movie critic" 7- 'f "THE APPLE Dumpling Gang," at a slew of neighborhood theaters, is the latest piece of treacle from the Walt Disney sitcom kitchen. The recipe is well-known: Mix smiling moms and pops with the dash of villains, fold in saccharine and beat with slapstick.

The resulting cinematic mush is so predictable, it's a wonder that more youngsters don't tell the Disney folks to "bake off." It looks like Kid Power Is the only thing that can turn the preteen-age market movie scene around. It's up to you, kids. Next time your parents try to drop you off at the latest Disney fluff, tell 'em you're sick of seeingx; movies about invisible flying dogs. Tell 'em you want something more substantial. Film producers are missing a good bet by not offering children dramas that come out of youthful experience.

How about a thriller about sleeping over at a friend's house? How about a story that follows how a kid changes when his brothers and sisters are not around? I'M KIDDING, and I'm not kidding. If those ideas aren't worth a whole movie, then I'd sure like to see them as scenes within another kind of film. Because it was painfully obvious while watching "The Apple Dumpling Gang" that nothing in the movie bears any relation to the world children know. There isn't a single scene in which the kids in the movie talk among themselves. THREE ORPHANS find a 356-pound nugget of gold, and suddenly everyone in the town wants to adopt them.

Will their temporary guardian, a card-sharp, fall in love with the female stagecoach driver', settle down, and provide the kids with one big happy family? Will the two clumsy stickup men Don Knotts and Tim Conway ever stop falling all over each other? The Joke that received the biggest response from the young audience was the film's only recurring gag the 6-year-old, blond orphan girl at critical points in the movie always has to go to the bathroom. Kids sitting near me found that really funny. 1 guess you can never start children too early on bathroom That when they grow up, they're Sure to be receptive to the wee-wee and ca-ca humor, of so nightclub comics. i That way the entertainment industry takes care of its future.

An all-around look at the often-confusing home buying process. Among other topics, our expert panel will cover what to look for in a good home, how to decide what you want in a home and how to compromise to get the most for your; 1 money. In the financial area, you'll discover how to figure out what you can afford and how to translate a mortgage rate into a monthly payment figure. 2. Investment Forum Wed.

Oct. 1, 8 p.m. Most screenwriters can't write dialog; they have no conception of. how youngsters look at the world. Their stories patronize young filmgoers.

And if your children report they do like some films, it's probably just because one or two of them are better than the rest of the junk they see. "The Apple Dumpling Gang" is a situation comedy set in the Old West, but it doesn't even transport young viewers into another time and place. The Western town looks like it was made of cardboard. None of the scenes have a visual depth that suggests location filming. And worst of all, the verbal and sight gags could just as well, have taken place in a story set in contemporary Southern California.

"Love these scars," says Freddie Prinze, pointing to four jagged marks on his right hand and wrist. "And I'm proud of the way I got them as a member of the Royal Lords gang. We used to fight other gangs white or Cuban and we went at them with anything we could lay our hands on: clubs, Volkswagens. That's right. Volkswagens.

We had one guy in our gang who could pick up one of those little cars and toss it at somebody." Only three years have elapsed since Prinze dueled with switchblades by night in a New York City ghetto while taunting cops by day with the derisive Alice, que posa?" Yet his phenomenal rise from the garbage-strewn gutter surprisingly doesn't awe him. It's as if he always knew that at 21 he'd be television's most talked about new star Chico and the Man, as well as America's finest young comedian. "I'm not doing too badly for a half-breed who has been called a spic most of his life," he grins. And then 'Prinze proudly reels off other ventures: He's earning an Incredible $25,000 a week as a nightclub entertainer, publicizing his first Columbia Records comedy album, and reading dozens of scripts for a forthcoming entry into films. FOR SOMEONE with a scant three years.

hi the business, he's remarkably self-confident. His poise and assuredness can' be attested to each week on TV as he performs with total nonchalance and ease alongside the masterful veteran Jack Albertson, who treats Prinze with the respect due a seasoned professional. He credits bis mother with steering him away from a life of crime. Recently, he bought her a lovely house in nearby Toluca Lake. As Chico, the wise-cracking Chicano auto mechanic, Prinze comes across on TV as honest, fun-loving, dedicated.

But he pictures himself as a nightclub comic in the provocative Lenny Bruce-Dick Gregory mold. He's also an amazing mimic. WHILE ACTIVELY protesting Puerto Rlcan injustices, Prinze suddenly found himself in the uncomfortable position of having to defend his TV series against "racism" charges. It seems that Chicanos in the Los Angeles area were angered over the way Prinze's Mexican-American character was being maligned. According to Prinze, the Chicanos came to their "racism" judgment prematurely.

"Until we pointed It out to them, they didn't realize that we were deliber-: ately focusing on the ignorance of Ed played by Albertson. Any slur against the decent Chico just reflects on the stupid person making the remark. But I can understand the Chicanos concern. After all, I'm a member of a minority myself." He considers it imperative to return to his roots every few months. "If I didn't go back to New York, I'd lose the honest quality in myself.

Besides, it's fun seeing old friends. They all want to know the same thing: Who is. getting high in Hollywood? And they're all convinced that they can become successes in show too."
