The major question was whether there was PC dedicates enough room in some of the Lower Campus buildings, or whether new facilities would have to be constructed. Leveridge explained that the law school would need at least two Wilmot G/ay Field buildings, one for classroom instruction and one to house a law library.

April has ended and brought with its passing the bittersweet beginnings of May. Sounds like some illiterate freshman trying to imitate Wordsworth, doesn't it? Actually it's a half crazy (the other half is insane) junior English major trying to think up a few witty lines about leaving school for the summer. It's not easy. The lines, that is ..Leaving school for the summer is always easy. That vacation sure looks good.

But wait a minute Who am I kidding? Sure, I say leaving school for the summer is easy because that's the conventional way to approach these things. ( Final exams would have made a grog out of Thomas Aquinas too ) But do I really want to pack up and go?

Let's look at this logically. As I once learned in Intro. Philosophy, the value of logical thinking is unsurpassed in rudimentary decisions of the mind, whatever that means What am I gonna do this summer that I can't do now? Well, I can always go to the beach and there's always a party or two or three. I can work a lot (it's a four-letter word) and I 11 probably be bored after a month.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not putting down summer For all you people who are flying Kathy to where ever she's going ( I have yet to meet a Stella airline stewardess), I'm sure you'll have a great time. As for the College's illustrious contingent of Pietrasanta '77, if you can keep B.J. Daley and Arthur DeCaprio in On the Island this summer; gear you ought to have a marvelous summer.

The program promises "active participation with a professional ensemble in a concentrated working atmosphere including all aspects of theatre through a total program of academic study, rehearsal, and performance." Three Broadway quality productions will be presented, as well asa musical cabaret, and all will be presented in repertory style. The proposal for this summer theatre has been in the planning stages for over a year, and the College has now approved the project. Rev. R.L Pelkington, O.P., the director of the school's theatre arts program, says that "a summer theatre program would ideally be held on the campus, but we lack the theatre facilities, especially air con• ditioning." "The summer theatre is supposed to be self-sufficient; we will begin the program with $6,000 pledged from outside in• terests, and the rest from tuition and gate receipts. A six-year old restaurant donated for our use will be converted into a theatre. We've hired four equity professional people to teach (in addition to some members of our own staff) in order to give a professional note to the concept The staff will wear many hats, and may possibly be involved in either the acting or technical aspects of productions." It will be an intensive program, with classes held in the morning and rehearsals and productions in the evening. Father Pelkington is looking for serious students, and in addition to offering the program to PC students has opened it to college, junior college, and high school students arouna the country. The program should be advantageous both to beginners and to those college students who are attempting to make the transitional step from colleté theatre to the professional stage Pag* 8 Wednf«hy.

PC's wild weekend PC's Spring Week activities took their form in various ways around the campus last week. Some watched, some participated: everyone ate. drank, listened to the music, and had quite a time. Beginning at the left and continuing around clockwise, these photos reveal the various festivities. First is a member of the Poussette-Dart band, who visited the campus on Saturday evening: students gather on the grass during the activities: a large parade is formed as students head toward Raymond Geld for the opening of the Battle of the Dorms. Joseph Hall was the winner of this annual event, with second place being tied be• tween Stephen and Mc- Dermott Halls. A total of J228 was raised during the dav for the Meeting Street School. In the next photo, a magician does his thing: while a student and a sledge hammer do theirs. Waving goodbye to Spring Week is Stripe the Clown, one of Saturday's performers.

Take Out Service 831-9382 Live Entertainment Weekends Wednesday, May 4, 1977 Page 9 As we all know the cost of books are increasing. How can we lower the overall cost of textbooks? First of all, the Bookstore cannot offer discounts on textbooks. The margin from the publisher to the Bookstore averages about 20 per cent. All the cost for handling and marketing are incurred by the store. Simply stated, new textbooks are a losing proposition. You must remember that your Bookstore doesn't select the text or determine the price. Therefore, there are five alternatives to lowering textbook cost: (1 ) No Books (2) Single Adoptions (3) Cost considerations when adopting texts (4) Sharing and trading books

(5) Used Books

(1) No Books — in most cases undesirable by the student and/or Professor.

(2) & (3) Single Adoptions - and cost consideration in adoptions - in almost all cases the instructor is selecting the text or texts that he or she believes will make the course and material more meaningful to the student. (4) Sharing and Trading Books— this would be the best way to lower cost. In reality it is very difficult to accomplish especially prior to examinations.

(5) The only way a student can lower his textbook cost and still ideally have his own copy is used books.

The only true main source of used books are the students on campus. The Bookstore will buy back books at SO per cent of their list price if they are adopted for the next semester. We don't buy back all the paperbacks because experience shows that students would rather buy a new copy. This of course is not so of the more expensive paper-bound books. The average life of a textbook is three years. The best way for a student to lower his total textbook cost, is to resell his books to another student. He should be getting more money from another student that he would from the Bookstore. The major difficulty is in making a connection for the sale of your book. As a result you are left holding a textbook you don't want or need. For further information see other ads in the paper.
