Slick Advice May Slide Wrong Way With many upperclassmen on campus today for registration, some freshmen are probably receiving all kinds of advice on how to beat the College's registration timetable. Forget it. The best advice for freshmen and upperclass men comes from C. 0. Williams, registrar: 1. Be on time. 2. Register for yourself and yourself only. The question of punctuality raises several points. First of all, by being on time we do not mean being one, two, or three minutes late. Those who are late will have to wait until the last to register. The unfortunate students who have to wait until last soon discover that many or possibly all sections of some courses are filled. This situation can produce: • 1. A bad case of nerves. 2. A bad temper. 3. A worse schedule, consisting in the main of eight o'clocks, Saturdays, and a few other odd hours scattered in between. There are times when tardiness may be caused by the disappearance of advisers. In this in stance Williams advises the student to go to his department head immediately if the adviser cannot be found. If the department head cannot be found, the student should go to the dean of his school. However, the registrar points out the student should report to his adviser at least 24 hours before the student is to report to Rec- Used Book Agency. Benefits Students New students on campus will soon discover the student-operated Used Book Agency in the TUB is one place where they may buy and sell used books at substantial gain. The agency— called the ÜBA—is a non-profit service to stu dents, handling only used text books. Through the ÜBA, the student realizes two benefits. First, he may price his book at what he thinks it is worth and generally is able to sell it for more than he could get at a book store. Second, he may select from many books of varied prices, generally finding the book he wants at a lower price than he could at a book store. He may sell the book at the price he sets and purchase books at the price he can afford. An outstanding benefit of the ÜBA is its self service operation. Hundreds of used books are arranged by courses on tables on the TUB dance floor. Students may browse through the books, select a book with price marked in it, and make a purchase. This wide choice of books gives the purchaser an equally wide choice of prices. Even though the seller receives higher prices for his books, the purchaser still benefits. Prices asked by students are usually much lower than those asked by other agencies. The agency will open today and will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily until Sept. 25. More used books are still needed and will be accepted until Tuesday. <lO6OOOOOO noo'oooooo9ooooo * ~v is w ADVENTURE-SCIENCE FICTION WEEK!! • Tonite - Doors Open 6 p.m. "ROCKEISHIP X-M" —THURSDAY— D:ck Powell "CRY DANGER" —FRIDAY— Interpianetary • Adventure!

Freshmen will get an early look at the BX when they go there for official dress customs. The BX is a year-round operation. The ÜBA operates only at the opening of each semester, when used book sales are being made. The ÜBA's biggest drawback has been lack of used books for sale. Hundreds are offered each semester, but ,hundreds more are never taken to the ÜBA or are sold to bookstores. If more students took their books to the ÜBA, more students would benefit from the agency. The constant growth of the Book Exchange and the Used Book Agency points out the deep need for such an operation at Penn State. The BX and ÜBA have established themselves as definite student services. And only through in creased and continued support may students demonstrate their appreciation for these. services. THE DAILY COLLEMAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA reation Hall for registration. Adequate time should also" be allowed for the payment of fees before registration. There are two rather cogent reasons for a student to register for himself only. These are sections C-4 and W-7 of the Senate Regulations for Undergraduate Students, 1953-54. Section C-4 states: "No student shall register for an other student or permit anyone to register on his behalf." Section W-7 provides for disciplin ary action for the students who violate section C-4. There are other reasons dictated by common sense rather than by regulation that should deter a student from registering for anyone other than himself. If, for example, one section is closed when a student registers, he is the only-one who can know what other time is best. If a course is closed, he is the only one who can decide on another course. No one would want another student to decide which course he should follow for the semester. The schedule for registration must be main tained: An exception for one would mean an exception for all. With 11,500 individual sched ules plus the possibility of registration by proxy, an efficient registration system built up from years of experience could, be reduced to absolute chaos in half a day. The ÜBA is part of a larger student operation, the Book Exchange. The Book Exchange—called BX—is also located in the. TUB. It is .a non profit student operation which sells student supplies on a cooperative basis. For each $5 in purchases, the s tudent receives $1 free in mer chandise. Since 1949, the Book Exchange and its fellow Used Book Agency increased by leaps and bounds. Last fall, the agency alone handled over $3OOO in used books. Last spring, the total increased. This does not include money handled by the BX.

If so, chances are you belong to the thundering .herd of celluloid fanciers the industry is trying frantically to .keep within its clutches to bolster fading box office prestige (and profits). The current slump in the fabu lous movie industry goes back about five years when TV came into its own as a common media for entertainment. Box office lines shriveled from 80 million to 40 million weekly patrons across the nation. Disaster for Hollywood! As production slackened, producers g r a b b e d for an overdose of sleeping pills, glamour girls got the ax in an economy drive, and temperamental for e i g n stars were packed up.and sent home, finding their services no longer required. Things have become so bad that even Betty Grable, for years one of filmdom's lead-' Fng money makers, is out of a job. While Hollywood was busy cry ing wolf, no one noticed Fred Waller, a man with a new idea for projecting movies on a curved screen, giving an illusion of depth. When "This Is Cinerama" opened in New York last September to full houses and money poured into the Waller coffers, the whole filria colony had to sit up and take no tice.
