While administrators remain cau- ficient numbers for any team. In the Stu-A Vice President During the summer, Colby Bookstore employee Jeff Winkler '89 gave a computerized list of text books carried by the campus store to the down- town competition., the Iron Horse Bookstore. Then, he was fired for it and banned from campus for 30 days. The college claims Winkler was paid for the information, Iron Horse co-owner Peter Nutting denies paying for thelist Winkler concedes being paid for six and a half hours of labor at the Iron Horsebut said it was never stated if part of the $50 he received was for the list. It's easy to forget that none of this would have happened if students were happy with prices at the bookstore. The college breaks about even on texts but profits about $150,000 a year from other merchandise at the bookstore. If profits from merchandise were used to subsidize text prices instead of reverting to the college's general fund, smiles would abound on campus. The change would make selling texts more difficult for Iron Horse, but that's only a small part of their business anyway. Alas, college officials said they don't plan to lower any Colby Book- store prices in response to competition from the Iron Horse. That just doesn't make sense. Cheers to Stu-A It wasn't perfect, but the Stu-A party behind the Heights last weekend was a pretty damn good time. The party spot is one of the best on campus, the band kept everybody dancing (and singing), and it seemed that all the grumpy studen ts stayed homo. On the down side, the keg lines were outrageous and bordered on dangerous with people getting crushed trying to get a beer. Limiting the amount of alcohol dispensed at the same time isn't a bad idea - fewer intoxicated people may mean less damage to campus and less student violence towards each other. But, trying to get'a beer at a campus party shouldn't be like standing in the front row during a Motley Crue' concert. All in all, cheers to Stu-A. Now, it's back to the Student Center.
