Book co-op approved
By JERRY MICCO
Collegian Staff Wiiter
The Association for
Residence Hall Students
last night unanimously
passed a motion to sponsor
a book exchange starting
Spring Term.
John Arndt, chairman of
the ARHS book exchange
committee, said. the main
problem facing the co-op is
a possible lack of man :
power. "Manpower could
definitely be a problem,"
Arndt said, "but all other
things are really starting to
fall into place now."
A budget request of about
.JOO will be submitted to
the Associated Student
Activities Budget Com
mittee today, Arndt said,
and a budget hearing will
try to be set up with ASA
before the end of the term.
According to Arndt,
more than 50 per cent of the
budget will be for security
and publicity. The leftover
money will go for equip-
ment rental materials and
supplies.
The book co-op which will
be held in Walnut Building,
will be operated by having
students fill out two cards
an account card 'and a
liability card. The account
card will have the student's
name, address, local phone
number, and I.D. number
on it, as well as the book
titles and prices for which
the student wishes the book
to be sold.
The students then can
pick up the money for the
books,. if the books are
bought by other students,
and his leftover books at a
location not confirmed yet
by ARHS.
Arndt said this is the first
time that all of the dor
mitory areas have
cooperated for a book sale.
In the past, the areas have
run their own book sales for
their areas only. This book
sale will be for all
University students.
Other problems that
PORTRAITS
Arndt said would have to be
considered are competition
with the HUB bookstore
and the availability of
booklists.
In other action, ARHS
unanimously approved a
proposed change to the
Undergraduate Student
Government constitution.
The change will involve a
three-week orientation
period for new executive
officers and senators after
they are elected. The
current constitution says
that there must be only a
four-day waiting period
before the new officials
take office.
For the proposed
amendment to pass, it will
need a unanimous vote of
approval from the
Academic Assembly and
the Board of Trustees, plus
two-thirds of the USG
Executive Council. ARHS,
OTIS and Black Caucus are
the only executive council
members to have passed
the proposed amendment.

Flu - shot ban lifted
WASHINGTON (AP) HEW Secretary Joseph
Califano lifted the moratorium on two flu vaccines
yesterday. The department recommended that the
elderly and people with chronic illnesses get a shot
that could protect them from both the swine flu and
the A-Victoria strain. .
The action allows health officials to again use the
combined swine flu and A4iictoria flu vaccine. It
also allows the use of another vaccine intended to
protect against the milder B-Hong Kong flu.
The moratorium remains in effect, however, for
the swine flu-only vaccine that, was widely
for all Americans before December.
Pennsylvania Health Secretary Leonard Bach
man said yesterday he will not resume flu vac
cinations in the state until he gets further in
formation from federal doctors.
Bachman said even if the vaccinations were
restarted, "it is highly unlikely that we would
initiate a full-scale campaign "
"We believe we've reached a major saturation of
high risk persons," Bachman said in a statement.
Spain may. ok Reds
MADRID, Spain (UPI) Premier Adolfo
Suarez's government yesterday gave 'the supreme
court control over the legalization of political
groups, including the outlawed Communist party.
The Spanish, French and Italian Communist
parties issued a statement saying they will hold a
.:,...
"Euro-Communist summit" in Madrid within two
weeks.
A royal decree abolished the government's power
to grant or deny legality to political parties, to
suspend their activities and to levy fines on them of
up to $75,000.
The action constituted a new step toward full
participation in the legislative elections promised
for the spring.

Warnke went before the committee with a ringing
endorsement from Carter who told a news con
ference he saw no conflict between his own views of
arms reduction and those of Warnke.
"I think when the members of the Senate consider
what Mr. Warnke stands for, he will be approved
overwhelmingly," Carter said.
