IX Head Says Students
Price Books Too High
Benjamin Lowenstein, chairman of the Penn State Book
Exchange, announced yesterday that students were marking
the priCes for their books "too high."
Tae said `that some 'students were asking as much as 80
per:cent-above the price of a new book. Lowenstein added
that students could still come in to reduce the price of their
book* if they desired to do so.
Books, which are especially
needed by the Book Exchange are:
I'sociology 1, speech 200, accounting
1 and 2; insurance, history 21, phil
osophy 1, and political science 3'
and 10.
Among the books which are
availalals at the exchange are: bot
any 1 and 2, geology 20, geography
1,2, - .and 24, psychology 1 and 2,
math 2, history 20, and language
books.
The biggest sale of books at the
non-profit, student operated ÜBA,
previous to this year, was' on Feb.
8, 1954.
Last year at this time record
breaking sale of 2500 textbooks
was recpgnized by the Book Ex
change. As of yet there 're no offi
cial records as the number of
books sold this year.
The sale , of books opened Thurs
day and will probably close Fri
day.
Lowenstein announced that itu
-1
dents may claim their unsold
books from Feb. 21, through Peb.
26.
Previous to last year students
Were required to' stand in line to
obtain the books they wanted
from clerks who would wait on
them. Now books are displayed
in the ballroom of the TUB.
Also originated last year was
the system by which students
could obtain the money for their
books as soon as the books were
sold.
Under the previous system mon
ey and unsold books were not re
turned until after the USA had
closed.
In the fall of 1953 the organiza
tion sold approximately 6000 of
the 7000 books received for a gross
sales total of $10,700.
The ÜBA is now in its fifth year
of operation.

Beards Grow
In Paris Too,
These Days
Penn Staters apparently aren't
the only ones growing be ar d s
these days.
The Buffalo Courier Express
reports that students in Paris
have also tarted the fad.
And Paris barbers are rejoic
in'. They claim they make more
money trimming beards than they
ever did shaving them off.
The article goes on to comment
on the psychology of beards.
Psychologists ..ay timid men like
to hide behind the foliage of a
flourishing beard. Others say ex
troverts and those with a super
iority complex like to flaunt their
facial decorations and be noticed
by friends.
Still others say a beard is at
tractive to women. Str an g e 1 y
enough, the beard is most popu
lar among men from 25 to 40.
Younger men usually wear it as
a fringe following the line of the
jaw bone. Others carry it as a sort
of frame for the mouth with a tuft
under the lower lip.
Some achieve a graceful effect
by appending it to the mustache
