Christmas is the busiest tLr.e of the year for catalog
departments, but it's not too late to order.
J.C- Fennev Co. has extencea wear ceaine lor orcer-
ir? merchandise throurh the catalogs to Dec. 12, accord-
ins to CIso Roe. catalog department manager.
Kathy Wrfcht, at the catalog department of
Montgomery Ward & Con said the deadline is determined
by what is. ordered. She said when ordering fashion
merchandise, it would be safe to allow a - week for
delivery. All other merchandise is brought in from Kansas
City and takes only about three days, she said.
Sears Roebuck and Co. has set a safe deadline for
ordering on Dec. 21 or 22, according to Jerry Leach, the
head of their catalog department.

"Christmas is the bijsest sale time of the year for the
catalog department" Wright said. Wards sends out their
Christmas catalog in October. .
"I think people use the catalogs because it's the most
convenient way to shop " Robare said. "People can just
pick up a catalog and order what they like."
Wright ssid the catalog is especially convenient for
people who have children. "Instead of drasing the kids
to all the stores to look, parents can show them a catalog
and get an idea of what they want," she said. '
The larger department stores, such as Wards, Sears and
Penneys, put out two large catalogs each year, a fall
winter and a springsummer isne.
Usually, those catalogs are mailed to a specif list of
customers. Stores differ in how they determine which
customers receive the free catalogs.
Free cstsle-s t rsgslsss
Robare said Penneys sends cards for' free catalogs to '
customers who have placed at least two orders within the
previous six months. r
Tills year Penneys tried something new to update their
list and to determine potential catalog department cus
tomers, Robare said.
She ssid customers could send in $3 for a catalog and
they would receive the money back in the form of a gift
certificate to be used on their first order. Robare said one
of those large catalogs costs about S6 to print
Leach said Sears mails cards for free catalogs to
' f? in :

customers who ussally buy $20 worth of merchandise
every three months.
Both stores give out any leftover catalogs to customers
on request
The catalogs that rjvar.? the ma2s around Christmas
time are promotional advertising, for the most part
' Robare said Penneys ur-ully put' cat about 12 ssles
catalogs each year. Leach said Sears puts cut a sales
catalog every month. Doth stores put out a special
Christmas issue. - ; ; ., . ,'
"Ardans (jewelers and distributors) uses cailcgs as their
COGWQIillOTu
main source of advertising, ssid Ken Peacock, acisfaat
manager of Ardaas. He said the store does not use any
radio or television advertising. !
Ardans puts out one catalog each yen and Peacock
said this year they received 1,200 copies to be distributed
in Lincoln.
They use catalog notification cards like other depart
ment stores, but Peacock said anyone can register to
receive a free catalog. Cards are sent to those persons who
redeemed their cards the year before, he said.
Peacock said Ardans sends out about four sales flyers
every yer in addition to their major catalog.
Consiiiuiiomire vision blocked
By Betsie Amnions
An ASUN senate decision on whether to form a con
stitutional convention to compose a new ASUN constitu
tion was blocked at Wednesday's senate meeting because
of confusion over how many senators consittute a
quorum. ' -"
Organic Act 3, which calls for creation of a constitu
tional convention to write an updated ASUN constitu
tion was submitted to senators Wednesday for approv
al by the ad hoc committee on constitutional revision.
Sen. Scott Cook, committee chairman, told the sen
ators that committee members felt a new Constitution
was needed' - to - clarify ASUN's relationship with Fees -Allocation
Board, to include a definition of the student
regent's duties and power, and to guarantee that a cross
section of students wCl d the senate seats.
Those needs would be better answered by a new con
stitution, Cook said, "not by adding to a poor one."
The present constitution states that three-fourths cf
the senate must approve an organic act before it can be
ratified. However, there was senate cocfuon Wednes-:
day shout whether that meant three-fourths of the 35
Senate positions available, or the 32 positions which are
-(Zed. '
ASUN First Vice President Tony Williams, senate
presiding officer, ruled that it must be interpreted as
three-fourths of 35 positions, and said the 24 senators pre
sent would not constitute a quorum to vote on the issue.
The senate overrode WlUhm's decision after a motion
by Cook to object to the chair, enabling the senate to
decide on the organic act.
Although there were only 24 members present, Cook
said a vote could be tasen ana tue iosisg s?.ae coma
appeal the decision to the UNL Student Court.
However, Agriculture CcSege Senator Roger Davis and
Graduate College Senator Frank Thompson left the meet
ing, preventing the Senate from voting on the Organic
Acts and also a resolution calling for UNL administration
funding of the Sheldon Film Theater, because of lack of
a quorum.
ASUN President CI3 Mueller said he was against Organ
ic Act. 3 because he thinks the constitutional reforms
could be accomplished by amendments.
Mueller said he thinks a lot of students would be
"scared off from voting for an entirely new constitu
tion when it was presented for student body approval in
: the Spring 1977 ASUN elections. : .-
If a vote had been taken, Mueller said, the - senate
'would not have made a final decision unless the act was
defeated. He said if the motion had been approved, he
would have gone to Student Court for ckrMicitloa on
whether three-fourths of 35 . senators must approve the
act.
The decision could not have been appealed if defeated
because the senate had voted to override Williams
decision, Mueller sassl.
He will ask Student Court for. constitution clarifica
tion this week, he ssid, to prevent confusion when the
e is reintroduced at next week! meeting. . .
