Behrend students are especially concerned with the high prices of books State 80, or for a Collegial voice th, issue. H Ken Allgeier Ken Allgeier, seventh semester, History--"I think books are priced way too high, professors should be mole considerate in picking the texts they are going to use-- especially since some students have to,work and make their own living and- the "buy-back" is totally criplinal. You pay $3O, $4O, $45 for a book and you get back only 50 0 70 or less or it. It's stupid that the university is supported and set up for • students and they are discriminated against. I think there should be a more fair policy of returning books-- you should get at least some of your money back." Kurt Emhoff, fourth semester, Psychology--"I think it's incredible that they can "rip-off" college students like that without even try ing to cover it up at all. Penn State with its sports team and so on is br inging in so much money, why do they have to rip us off? It's scan dalous, it's stupid, and that's all I have to say."

Joe Williams, fourth semester, COMBA--"From what I unders tand, it's not the bookstore that sets the price, but the publishing companies that tell the bookstores the prices they can buy the books back at. I don't think we should get angry with the bookstore because it N l° USED USED won't get us anywhere, we should try and approach the publishing companies and try to get them to give students a break and to give them more money for their books because selling them back for half or less than half price is unjust, Joe Williams to the Shari Irwin Susie Jalosky Colleen O'Hare Debbie Thompson ... ‘ .e ,k e4l. by Lynn Popovitch Collegian Staff Writer It's a Beach Party!

"We're hoping the contests will add a lot of excitement and enthusiasm," says Janet O'Hare, a member of the Student Programs committee. Since this is the first of its kind for the school year it should bring a lot of people forward. Refreshments will be served dur ing the dance to quench the thirsts of the avid dancers. "The band usually brings all types of people," says O'Hare. _ A IN DAYTONA BEACH This is understandable since the band varies in their music. Older generations enjoy their style of music because the music is general ly based in the era when they grew up. Their fun-styled ways also at tract people of the ages of college students and some highschool students because of the music's free and wild sounds which are dif ferent from the music of today. Student Lisa Hahn says, "I like this type of music because it allows for a definite change of pace from all the music of most of today's bands." This dance will be a sort of "coming-out" for the spring semester. It hopefully will attract a lot of students for this reason. The winter months put a damper on most of the students' attitudes so includes: 898-6220 JANUARY 29,1987 Collegian PAGE 7 this dance will probably lift spirits and give everyone a new outlook towards the coming warmer months.
