thin it out. Naturally one must ex-
pect to incur a certain amount of
expense in the continuing ex-
perience of education. However,
a used book sale is a plausible
way to reduce this financial
burden.
I"'•[ Mercy hurst has had little luck
with used book sales. In the past,
a firm outside the college would
come in during the first two
weeks of the term and sell used
books. There were a few pro-
blems with this arrangement.
Primarily, these used books were
just too expensive. Also, students
usually need books within the
first two days of the term rather
than weeks.
| Selling used books in the cam-
pus bookstore isn't as simple as it
sounds. As Bookstore Manager
Ruth Truitt points out, some
teachers change their texts from
term to term. {
Well-intentioned but poor
students should not give up hope
H fruitful effort in that they will be
at this point. There is a feasible
plan for organizing a used book
sale on campus. It requires only
the incentive and monetary
a s s i s t a n c e of s t u d e n t
government.
Consider the following arrange-
ment. A committee of students is
allotted a certain amount of
money to buy used books which
would then be soldtostudents for
the same purchase price.
However, it would not be ad-
visable to simply buy used text
books since the purpose of the
sale is for buying students to
make money and not for selling
students to make money. There-
fore, it would be functional for the
sale to buy the standard texts
which are used by instructors
repeatedly. Many.books used in
the Liberal Studies requirements I
are an example. s

Smith, Jr.. Their present leader
is Wallace B. Smith,B.l929, who

purposes, maintain a modern

In this first temple Joseph
Smith manifested his liturgical

as a place of instruction and

We've come a long way.
Our nursing and health services have covered a Ipt of ground since we
started 100 years ago. We began by caring for the wounded on the
battlefield. Later, we called on the ill at home Then, as we trained and
recruited more nurses, we began to develop programs to teach people
how to help themselves and their families.
Today, we give instruction in home nursing, disease prevention,
parenting, child care, nutrition, managing stress, preparation for
disaster, health maintenance—all of this in addition to providing ser-
vices to the community on an as-needed basis.
But we're not saying this to pat ourselves on the back. We just want
you to know that if you need help, weYe ready. *
