THE OLD SLOAN-RONAN Food Commons will shortly house CMU's new student-
run bookstore. 	
CMU's only student-run bookstore will
open again at the end of this semester
featuring three improvements with the
student in mind, according to Lee. Davis,
student body vice president.
"The student-oriesnted bookstore not
only has a bigger location but will offer
only required textbooks-arid will guarantee
that money for a book will be sent to the
seller the same day the book is sold,"
Davis said.
This semester's store will be located
across from the Development Office in
the Sloan-Ronan Food Commons, The
entranceway to the building is behind the
small park at the corner of Franklin and
Bellows,   on the north  end  of campus.
"For the first time, we will only take
textbooks which will be required for the
winter semester," explainedDavis. "This
will assure a student that an instructor
will not have changed . textbooks, thus
making a. book obsolete."
"The biggest improvement and most
important to many students is the fact
that sellers will promptly receive their
money," said Davis.

"Last year we waited until the end of
the bookstore's selling time before we sent
out any money, but we have devised anew,
more efficient system this year."
Students bringing in books are asked
to furnish an envelope with their name,
address, price of tfie book, title and author
written on it. This envelope will be
stapled to the index page of the book and
when the book is sold, the money will be*
placed in the envelope and mailed the same
day.
Sellers should also prepare an index
card with their name, price of the volume
and title which will serve as a receipt.
The store will begin accepting books
Dec, 13-17 from noon to 4 p.m.
"If a student sells and buys all his
books at our,student bookstore, he will
save approximately 25 percent of what
he would have to pay at either of the
profit-making stores," Davis said.
"Students can save a lot of money
by buying books cheaper and the seller
gets more for his books. We are merely
eliminating the middleman with all savings
and profits going to the student."
Jointly sponsored this semester by
Ti Kappa. Phi fraternity and student
government, the store will add 50 cents
to the price of each book selling for over
$7 and 25 -cents to the price of books
under $7. This money will help defray
the cost .of selling help and operating
costs.
President's Council approves
three-week spring session
CMU's 1972 spring (mini) session,
shrouded iff uncertainty until now because
of budget and enrollment limitations, will
be held May 15 through June 2.
The decision to offer the. three-week
session, initiated last year, was made'
last week  by the President's Council
based on a recommendation by the Council of Deans.
The session will probably be conducted
much-as it was last year in terms of
course offerings, enrollment minimums,

"We moved 1,500-2,000 volumes last

The store will open for sales on Tuesday of registration week and continue
selling through the second week of the

With an overall total of $510,000 in
gifts and pledges, the University Development Fund is more than one-third of
the  way  to   its' goal   of $1.5  million.

In the local campaigns, the faculty
and staff drive has netted $79,548, exceeding the orginal goal by $4,500. This
was-matched by $75,000 from the
Gerstacker Foundation , of Midland,
according to Jim Wojcik, assistant director of the Development Fund.
..*''■" r~
The community campaign,"which involves Clare, Gratiot and Isabella counties) has- so far collected over $94,000.
According to Wojcik, the community campaign will run through next September.
He said the Funcr expects the community
areas to exceed its $155,000 goal* "The
participation of the local people has been
Very good," said Wojcik. He also praised
the campaign workers in the area for
the "amount of work they've put into the
drive.
Another source of contributions centered mainly in the local ,area is the
Golden Seat Club.
The Golden Seats, from whiOh the club
derives its name, are 300 unpadded
theater-type chairs to be located in the
new football stadium. The seats will be
sheltered from the top and the back by
the new stadium's press box;
CMU's Financial Aids Office will be
processing more than 400 applications
next week in preparation for the winter
semester.
John Stressman, director of Financial
Aids, reported that CMU is essentially
out of funds, but did express hope. "Some
cancellations of the Board of Trustees
Scholarships and the miscellaneous grant
account will provide some money," said
Stressman.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
awards for winter semester will be processed. "In order to give this matter
our fullest attention, no appointments
will be made to see Financial Aids counselors," explained Stressman.
The cost of each seat is $600, which "We won't be able to give any indi-

include the price of the season ticket,
but it merely reserves that seat for the
club member to buy the ticket. After
the initial payment is made, and a season
ticket is not purchased, the person loses
his reservation on the seat. ;
According to Wojcik, 95 of the Golden
Seats have already been reserved, and
he said he expects all of the 300 seats
will be sold, The Golden Seat can be
used only by club members and will not
be open to regular ticket holders.
Central has drained all its money from
its Educational Opportunity Grant fund
as well as the National Defense Loan
program for the entire school year, the.
director said.
"In previous years we have used
National Defense Loan funds for summer
financial assistance. These funds were
allotted to students with financial need as
assistance for tuition andfeesfor summer
school. This year all the money has
been used up," said Stressman.
The Financial Aids office will notify
all students who have applied for assistance during the winter semester by Dec.
15. "We want all these students to know
for sure before they leave for semester
break what their financial situation is
going to be " concluded stressman.
