Advisory board to aim
for lower book prices
Lower book prices, although it
might be hard to believe, may be just
around the corner.
The Undergraduate Student
GoVernment is now in the process of
organizing a Student Advisory Board
to the Penn State Bookstore, which
might be able to help bring this about.
According to Vicki Sandoe, head of
the •, Policy and Procedures Com
mittee that is organizing the board,
trying to get more students to shop at
the Penn State . Bookstore and
lovkPering textbook prices will be the
twa main objectives of the board.
The formation of the SAB was
sparked by a survey taken last fall of
30-35 textbook prices at the three
bookstores.
Rick Roadarmel, former head of
the Policy and Procedures Com
mittee and the man in charge of the
survey, said new book prices were
identical at all bookstores.
But the Penn State Bookstore,
which is supposed to run as a service
to the students, Roadarmel said,
claimed not to be making a profit.
Obviously, Roadarmel said, the
stores downtown were making a
profit.
As a result, a list of recom-

A request has been made to move the
location of this year's Interfraternity
Council Dance Marathon from the HUB
Ballroom to White Building, IFC
President Mark Mazanek said Monday.
"After last year's marathon, we
decided that because of the number of
couples dancing and the large crowds
watching we need a larger area,"
Mazanek said.
Robert J. Scannell, Dean of the
College of Health, Physical Education
and Recreation, said a decision has not
yet been made on moving the marathon.
Scannell said he does not believe the
space in White Building would be much
greater than that in the ballroom, but
understands that a major concern in
changing the location is the tall windows
in the ballroom.
Mazanek said there is concern over
the windows breaking because of the
heat and large crowds of spectators
against the windows
"We like the location of the ballroom
since it's right in the cross traffic of the
students, but we're expecting maybe 250
couples this year and we don't know that
the ballroom can hold it," Mazanek said.
Scannell said a decision will be made
within the week, after he has consulted
with the people who might be using the
White Building gym at the time of the
marathon.
The marathon is usually held on a
weekend in February, and benefits the

Next Friday, Oct. 13, Ammerman
will make his first public appearance
since the accident at the fund-raising
reception and dinner in State College
for his campaign which Vice
President Walter F. Mondale is
scheduled to attend.
After that, Ammerman said he will
be making appearances throughout
the district.
