Student buying power Letters to the editor The Flipper flipped TO THE EDITO : Spouting off his half-truths straight from "hqaven" in his pril 2 letter, the Grand Omni-Potent Flipper has flipped once again. I never did believe in Grand Omni- Potent Flipper in allibility. To set the reco straight, the New Reformed Church of the Infinite Frisbee- cchic Rite is in no way, financially or theologically, co nected with that New Reformed-Orthodox Church of the I finite Frisbee or those other "American" in ventions (God, otherhood, Apple Pie, etc). Nor do we ever wish to be. Our Church as founded out of Cosmic Revelation when I saw the infinite absurdity of life here on earth and not by a commercial for Wham-O. Mr. Lantz comments on our "lower-class" activities. Well, we don't perform immoral acts on our young boys, offer human sacrifices on our altars, hand out copies of "God's Word" missionaries to Africa or even play bingo on Thursday night. However, as there seems to be no common agreement on where the Cosmic force is, why it is there and why we are here, we just accept the fact that it is, we are, and why not have Attractive Summer Rates!

Its future rests with you. Buy your textbooks in the basement of McAllister and the interim bookstore will thrive. Only then will the University Board of Trustees consider authorizing the plans for the construction of a larger, complete facility. The interim bookstore's policy is to order textbooks for every student enrolled in courses with 100 students or less. This means a copy of the book you need is always available there. The trouble is that for every book bought downtown, the interim bookstore has a book unsold. The adequate supply of text books depends on the concern of the University faculty. They must accurately estimate how many books their students will need and get the book lists in on time, so books can be .ordered to arrive before each term begins. The McAllister store is not without its flaws. The prices for new textbooks are the same as those downtown. But this cannot be helped. Prices are set by the publishers who sell their books at 20 per cent of the list price. After postage and freight, salaries and rent to the University, the 20 per cent gross profit ends up as 1 per cent net profit. Terrace A Fistful of Dollars Prime Cut Silent Running For A Few Dollars More Sometimes A Great Notion The Carey Treatment Play It Again, Sam Pocket Money Decameron Another problem has been the long lines of people trying to sell used books. The wait could have been shorter if Barnes and Noble,' the firm buying books at the in terim bookstore had set up shop before last Thursday. The fact is that the bookstore in McAllister is not adequate. Lack of space limits it to offering only required texts. Stationery supplies are sold separately in the HUB. What is needed is a large, permanent bookstore, located in a convenient place. Students should have the opportunity to buy used books and sell their books back at reasonable prices. Optional texts and reference books should be made available. A University bookstore can provide a service to students by having the books they need when they need them. Each book you buy at McAllister brings us a little closer to having that store. some fun while the rest of the world fights about it! Dionysus conservat, Asculapius in servitutem ducit! Richard T.

JOHNSON of the Collegian Staff Human Life. Two simple words that are currently being pushed and pulled and oc casionally pulverized into strange new shapes the final shape quite often dependent on an individual's view on another simple word. Abortion. The 1950 Webster in The Daily Collegian office does not even have a definition that corresponds to today's usage. Webster's states: "abortionist (n); One who practices the producing of criminal abortions." Since- the United States Supreme Court has ruled that states may not interfere with the right of a woman to have an abortion during the first 26 weeks of pregnancy, I do not believe the definition is workable for 1973. Some past Collegian letters offer other definitions: "the killing of innocent children in America," "color it murder" and "legislating morality." There have been more anti-abortion letters this year than pro. They are mostly reactions to The Collegian's pro abortion policy. When does "human life" begin? Not at conception. At conception a sperm enters an egg and cells start to divide and multiply. But a microscopic bit of protoplasm is not a human life. It has no more sen sations than an amoeba. In fact, an amoeba is better suited to life at that size Not at birth A premature baby is still a human being, even if it must spend some time the_artificial womb of an incubator. Human life, then, begins at some point in the gestation period of a human being. When is that first sudden start of self-awareness? When does the floating, cushioned piece of flesh give its first kick of "I am here, I am here." When does it first know warmth, hunger, the subtle pressure of a proud father's hand Unfortunately, no one remembers. =Collegian PATRICIA J.
