Due to the rising cost of a college
education, financial matters are of
utmost concern to students
everywhere. Behrend students are
especially concerned with the high
prices of
books

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."

a lot more back and I'd rather give
my books away than get about . $5
back for a book- I paid $4O for."

COMBA--"From what I unders

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

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

It's a Beach Party! When, you
ask? Because everyone loves beach
parties, on Jan. 31st there will be
just that for the Behrend students.
The band "Endless Summer" will
play their rendition of beach music
in the Wintergreen Cafe. The price
to see the band is not set yet but it
will be somewhere around fifty
cents or free with an activities card.
The band is an Erie based band
that plays local colleges, clubs, in
and around Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and New York. Their type of music
in general is similar to Beach Boys
music. They portray their talents in
60's and early 70's songs. The band
has alsb played in Perry Square in
downtown Erie with the theme,
"We Love Erie Days." A popular

group, they tour a lot in and
around the state.
The theme also promotes scenery
such as beach balls, palm trees, and
leis. There will also be contests in
which everyone can take part. Con
tests will be held for jams, most
pale legs, grass skirts, hula skirts,
and a final limbo contest. "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.

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

this dance will probably lift spirits
and give everyone a new outlook
towards the coming warmer
months.
So, on Jan. 31st, don't just sit
around, come early or come late,
but make sure you join the rest of
the crowd and party to the jammin'
sounds of "Endless Summer" and
forget your troubles.
