     “It has been talked about 
     
     for years but now it is coming 
     
     closer to reality," says Stu- 
     
     dent Union President, 
     
     Michelle Dorsey, referring to 
     
     a second hand booksale pro- 
     
     posal, which will be passed 
     
     if supported by students. 
     
    

    
     A second hand text arrange— 
     
     ment already exists for busi- 
     
     ness students, but the new 
     
     one would cater to all and 
     
     would have a more central 
     
     location. 
     
    

    
     If things go as planned, the 
     
     book bargaining would occur 
     
     at the Chaplaincy Center. 
     
    

    
     “lt’s a good accessible 
     
     location and because coffee 
     
     houses, weddings, meetings, 
     
     and other activities do not 
     
     frequently occur, the Cha- 
     
     plaincy Center can be con- 
     
     sidered wasted space for most 
     
     of the week,” said Dorsey. 
     
    

    
     Earliest operation of the 
     
     text sale could take place 
     
     before and after Christmas 
     
     exams. It wOuld also be open 
     
     during the first of the new 
     
     term. Operation procedures 
     
     have yet to be finalized. 
     
    

    
     Publicity is necessary first, 
     
     to see if there is at least 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘ enough initial enthusiasm to 
     
    
   
   
    
     get the project on its feet. 
     
     The Student Union Presi- 
     
     dent explained that an initial 
     
    
   
   
    
     trial period working on a 
     
     volunteer system would be 
     
     used until the book outlet’s 
     
     feasibility proved itself. 
     
    

    
     After this occurred, a few 
     
     new jobs might develop. 
     
    

    
     Booksales could operate 
     
     on a credit basis. The pre- 
     
     vious book owner‘s name and 
     
     the text’s selling price would 
     
     be‘ recorded and the amount 
     
     would either be awarded in 
     
     cash or extracted off the price 
     
     of another desired book. 
     
    

    
     There are a few problems 
     
     which must be resolved to 
     
     ensure the establishment of 
     
     the book sale. 
     
    

    
     Dorsey stated, “Students 
     
     must pressure professors to 
     
     get the most out of older 
     
    
   
   
    
     editions. If the new editions 
     
     contain changes that are 
     
     vital, professors can put one 
     
     or two copies on reserve at 
     
     the library.” 
     
    

    
     Professors could also 
     
     emphasize the alterations in 
     
     their lectures. 
     
    

    
     The greatest obstacle 
     
     facing the proposal could be 
     
     the lack of enthusiam on 
     
     behalf of the students. 
     
     Dorsey summed it up saying, 
     
     “Unless students respond 
     
     through petitions, suggest- 
     
     ions, letters to the Gem, calls 
     
     to CIMN, word of mouth, 
     
     and volunteering, the book 
     
     sale plans will not continue, 
     
     and the grumbling about high 
     
     costs of new texts will.”
