Ouestion: What is your opinion of the 1988 Presidential Candidates?
,rosette Kloker - I think the whole campaign has turned into a circus. I can't
keep track of the candidates and the ones I do know, I don't know their views
on issues. For example, the only candidate I really know is Gary Hart, and
the only thing I know about him is he is an adulterer. We should be more
concerned with his political views, instead of who he sleeps with.
Deann Hess -We don't know what they stand for. How are we supposed to
vote for them?
Leo Zuvich - There is entirely too much "muscling" going on. I think
George Bush will win the Republican nomination by a hair over Dole.
Pat Gaffey - I could do the job. All the candidates get criticized by someone
for anything they do. Some people like what they do and some don't. I can
handle people yelling at me, I get that now. Besides, I'd make a lot more as
president than I make now at Sears. I'd get to live in a big white house, I
wouldn't have to clean it, and it would be a good time. I'm also good in front
of the camera.
Dave Bowers - I could really give a s

Tammy Jordan - I don't think much of them. Too many of the issues are lost
amidst the battles between candidates. The candidates need to focus on the
issues rather than personal attacks.
Mike Dahm - I don't follow them. I'm not interested in these matters at all

College students hold the future of America in the palms of their
However, not one student polled in this survey is happy with the
candidates. Where does that leave the future? If someone isn't happy with a
president, they're likely to take an apathetic position against his policies.
There's already an over-abundance of apathy on this campus. If that attitude of
apathy spread across America, the consequences would be mind boggling.
As students, and Americans, we must realize that our future is too
important to take lying down. If, indeed, we are all so unhappy with the
candidates, then something should be done.

way." However, he also said that
publishers are now doing net pricing.
Publishers sell a book for a certain price
and let the bookstore decide its retail
price.
Williams said it would not be
feasible to lower the mark-up to 10
percent. "We would be operating at a
loss," she said.
Figures for the bookstore are
not available to back this statement, but
Williams did say that the bookstore is a
non-profit organization.
One way for students to save
money is to buy used books, said
Merchandise Supervisor at University
Park. Liz Wilson.
If a book is going to be used
again in a Capital College course, the
bookstore will buy it back at one-half
the new price. The bookstore will then
add 25 percent and the book is back on
the shelf.
If the price of a new book is
$2O, the bookstore will buy it back used
for $lO, and resell it for $l5.
Williams said that the mark-up
on a resale of a used book is necessary
because there is always the possiblity of
the book not being sold. "It costs
money to sort and price them before they
either go back on the shelf or back to the

Wilson said that the prices at
Penn State are comparable, if not lower,
to prices at other universities. When
comparing prices at Capital College
with those of our neighboring college,
HA.7C, there is a little discrepancy.
"The bookstore on campus is
,011. supportive and is owned by the
um versity," said Robert Hamill,
Ina lager of personnel and business
service.
According to Hamill, the
bookstore does not receive any funds
from the university. Money the
bookstore makes pays employees'
salaries and other expenses.
"Excess money from the
bookstore is put into a general
scholarship endowment fund for the
university," Williams said.
But where did the students
purchase books before this bookstore
was built three years ago? According to
Hamill, students were able to purchase
books in the Olmsted building.
Hamill also said that the money
to build this new bookstore did not come
from the university; it came from the
bookstore systems fund. This is a
university-wide reserve fund which is
supported through profits from the entire
Penn State bookstore system.
