"We have the potential to gain $60,000 for Norm if all goes well," she said. Within three days after ASA opened the fund, it received $3OO, she said. "We are going to be inundated with a lot of people giving to Norm's cause. "I don't think we'll have to prod them (the alumni) along to donate once they know, they'll donate." In other business, Cluck said he 'and Kim Hammond, the federal liaison for USG's department of political affairs, will be in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 10 and 11 to talk with Pennsylvania con gressmen about proposed financial aid cuts. Cluck said he made appointments with "Pennsylvania congressmen who have not taken a position on the budget cuts concerning higher education." After the trip, Cluck said he will come back to the council and devise a plan of attack on the issue of financiaj aid. The council also identified four major issues to work on during Winter Term: financial aid, minority recruitment, stu dents.as an appropriate organization and continuity within student organizations • ‘;'t t blue exam book. during transitions from one administra tion to the next. The council needs to talk less and act more regarding minority recruitment and retention, said Chris Calkins, presi dent of the Association of Residence Hall Students. • "We've beaten the topic into the ground -- it's a time for action," Calkins said. In University by-laWs, "students as an appropriate organization" is a catch phrase for the student groups that ad ministrators could counsult when the need for student input arises. Organization for Town Independent Students President Bob Karp said the council should be aware that the Univer- sity's new president, who will take over in July of 1983, would have the power to change this by-law. "The new president has the ability to change those by-laws and say whatever he or she thinks is important," he said. Several student leaders also expressed the need for continuity between the tran sition of one administration to the next.

ARHS holds co-op as student service By STELLA TSAI Daily Collegian Staff Writer • Without a doubt all University stu dents experience the frustration of buying textbooks. The steady flow of money out of their pockets at book buying time, accompanied by the in cessant noises of impatient bookstore customers, does not make for happy students. Furthermore, the bookstores down town often charge three-fourths of the original cost for used books, purchased from students for less than half the price, said Cindy Huslin, co chairman of the Association of Resi dence Hall Students' Book Co-op. This term's book-buying situation may have appeared grim for some Church blasts administration, not arms reduction WASHINGTON (AP) Former Sen. Frank Church said yesterday that recent massive anti-nuclear demonstrations in Western Europe were spurred largely by "a perception that America is now being governed by dangerously dogmatic leaders who have been behaving like a bunch of gunslingers." "This may play well in Peoria, but it's a bust in Paris," the Idaho Democrat said, adding that "President Reagan has militarized virtually every foreign policy issue." At the same time, Church tempered his criticism of the SPECIAL SAVINGS FROM u-r; • .:-WARNER. MIW 1 Mr ATLANTIC LOCATION: 318 E.

Students may sell their books to other students at their own specified prices, Huslin said. Therefore; the process saves the sell ers and buyers a lot of money. With savings of $2 to $4 a book, many students were pleased with the results, Huslin said. One student, Mary Shildneck (11th food service and housing administra tion) said, "It's a very good deal --- but it's not publicized well enough." • Although the Co-op has been in operation since 1977, it is difficult - to advertise, said Charlene.

About 130 students registered their books for sale at the Co-op this term. Abotit one-third of the books were sold, which is a sufficient amount to term the event as successful, Hafer said. The number of people and books which are involved is usually higher during Spring Term, she said. To take full advantage of the Co-op, Huslin said, students should bring their books in early. "The earlier the dooks come in the better," she said.
