ÜBA Will Close
Early for Parade
The Used Book Agency in the
TUB will close at 5 p.m.' today
instead of the regularly scheduled
9 p.m. because of the parade and
dance tonight, Howard Giles,
ÜBA chairman, announced yester
day.
The ÜBA operated in the ball
room of the TUB this fall for the
first time. This great increase of
space, Giles said, has eliminated
lines for which the ÜBA. was once
famous.
A greater number of books has
been handled this fall than any
other time in ÜBA history, Giles
added. He again thanked the Stu
dent Union for eliminating the
great space problem by allowing
the use of the TUB ballroom.
