From The Union CHRISTMAS GIFT WRAP Deluxe Noreross Gift Wrap. Matching Tags, Seals, Ribbons Goldenrod Stationery Store 215 North 14th Street By Marilyn Moomcy and Hugh Follmer Each year after the family fin ishes their hearty meal, Grand mother and Granddad start spin ning yarns about the good old fashioned Christmases thev knew : as kids. The "Good Old Days" have become legendary. The Union special activities commit ; tee thinks that this is wrong, and has made plans to change thi situation. Herb Reese and Bob Russel have been planning for tw.i months to make the Christmas Open House fit the title "Old Fashioned , Christmas party.' Santa's Laugh room will prob ably be the hit of the evening. Anne Bargcr and Tom Todhaisky want to keep the actual contents of the room a secret, but from what we've heard we'll guaran tee many side splitting laughs for all. To keep the party rolling along, a vaudeville show of the true "gay '90" variety has been planned. Once again we have not been able to get permission to print the lists of events. However, the list includes many top per formers, who won't 'let you settle too far back in yoi seats. We'v seen most of these people do their acts and we advise $'ou to get to the show early or you won't get a seat. To round out the evening. Herb and Bob have arranged for Jerry Mayburn and his band to play a long list of "the old favorites in I the dance music line.' However, I the music will only date back to I about 1940. And at intermission ! there will be Christmas Carol singing in the lounge. The whole open house is free and the entire student body is in vited, so everybody come and have a good time. Now is the time to start your Christmas spirit working. The place is your Stu dent Union and the time is 7:30 p. m. Tonight marks the bright spot in the calendar for the week, but we don't want to overlook the other evens. Thursday you wiil find that the Union is closed. The i i i 1RU.ST OVJl. MJL EaiCNEO VCA1R VACfTQ Longer Vacation Decision Today "To be or not to be" thai is the question which the Faculty Senate will decide today when it meets to discuss the extension of the Christmas vacation to January 3.

Street Floor Old Record Sale Begins Tuesday Good used records will be on sale by the Union Tuesday at five cents each. The records, which will be sold at a booth in the Union, are either too scratched to be used over the loud speaker system or the wrong kind of music for dancing. Kathy Schreiber, chairman of the Music committee, reminds students that the records would be good Christmas gift material. Included in the list of discs are records by Stan Kenton, the Dor- sey brothers, Frank Sinatra, Tex Beneke, Harry James, Tony Pas tor, ,and Charlie Ventura. reason being the annual em ployees' Christmas party. These people wait on the students faith fully all year, so it is only right that they have one night to cut loose and enjoy the place them selves. ISU Singers to Carol Tins Week Christmas serenading is on the agenda for the University Singers this week. From 7 to 11 p. m. Thursday evening, Lincoln hospitals, the Chancellor's home and the cam pus will hear Christmas carols Singers' style. The informal evening will in clude refreshments at the Union at 10 p. m. What would be the reaction of the private bookstore if the University bookstore found it could cut its prices on books? No cornment. This sterling reply came from one of ; the independent stores. It could not predict how it would react if Regents could reduce its prices. Only time would tell. The private concern believes no store, independent or University-operated, could lower its prices. It could not re- j duce them and still get a reasonable profit. The overhead in the book business is no laughing matter. The bookstore is always faced with the problem of obsolete books . . . books which nobody, students or jobbers, will have. Sounds funny. The bookstore tells us that selling to jobbers books which it cannot use is a problem. Then it turns around and guarantees us that, under a system where by one store can secure books from another, no store would purchase only a supply which it knew it could sell, leaving the problem of an oversupply to another store. It says it can afford to buy more books than it might sell, because most jobbers allow return privilege on 20 per cent of stock. Sounds funny. Will jobbers buy back books or won't they? The independent store buys used books from students, if they will be used again by the instructor for his course, at 50 per cent of list price. It sells them back at approxi mately 70 per cent. If the instructor says he won't use the book, students will get less than 50 per cent. There is the chance, of course, that the instructor says he won't use the book and then changes his mind. The book is still re-sold at 70 per cent. And there is the opposite case, when the in structor plans to use the book and doesn't. For example, the store is now selling a book to a jobber at 55 per cent, a book which supposedly was to be used in a course and which the store bought back at 50 per cent. Yup, business is bad. And a final thought on this problem of too many books . . , books which nobody will buy. It doesn't seem like too big a problem for a store belonging to a chain outfit. Susie Reed.
