"Friday. January '25. mt SCARLET AND BLACK 1 Page ‘7 SEW“. By FRITZ SCHWALLER In truth the book store is a fine place in which to purchase. Spanish dictionaries cost less there than in Mexico; Harper Torchbouks are sold at list and all defective copies are “ex< changed for perfect copies without penalty," But even though the prices ‘ are those which are suggested by the companies and the es- tablishment offers many sun< dry commodities at equally _‘ reasonable prices, all is not Well. It is the nature of a student to be overly concerned about seemingly trivial matters, Yet the fact remains that certain institutions Contact us daily, It is in these routine contacts that such trivium becomes elk oeedingly bothersome. I take as examples two ag- ‘gravating policies of our book store. The first of these is the insistence upon checking one‘s name against the role of stu- ttdEI‘ILS each and every time one attempts to cash a check. re< gardlcss of the fact that one has been there three times al« 'ready that day tor a similar ‘ service, And regardless of the :fact that one‘s name is printed on the check with the following notice: “Grinnell College, Grin- neli, Iowa, 50112." The second of these trivial complaints become much less trivial and much more impor- tant the more often it occurs, The practice in question is that oi placing a gooey price stick~ er on the cover of each and every "text" book sold. The reasoning behind this practice is clear: so that the book store will know which books not to accept for refund, such as those not sold by them or sold by them in a previous semester, The only justification for placing this sticker on the cover, as opposed to some- where else, is to facilitate pricing-unpacking and check- out. But the implications of this practice to the student are much greater in scope, This practice means that all Chem- istry majors will, for the rest of their careers, have eimer a white blotch or a sticky blotch on their $13.95 Organic Chem- , istry hardbouud. Or that the Spanish majors will have is ripped spot, where they had attempted to tear off the sticker on his copy of The Generation of 1m paperback. One can see that this practice affects the purchaser of paper- backs and hardbounds who might want to sell them later. The crime comes in relation to u really high quality hardbound or paperback that is or a type ~that would be kept. This in~ eludes any number of antholo- gies, science texts. history vol- umes, and “table top” art books. The answer is simple. Put the sticker on the inner tly leaf. This is easily accessible both while unpacking books and while checking them out. It offers the advantage of be ing in a little noticed spot in a hook, Once the book is pur- chased the sticker would be in a location that can be covered by an "ex lihris." @2 RADIO (Continued from Page 6) he added, “the stuli’s really starting to roll II1.

Unlil then, the wire seems to be something of a sore spot with the admin- istration. Cluud did say, however, that the radio station will put out a daily news bulletin similar to that of Carleton College, The UPI sponsor at Carleton ad. vertises along the border of the bulletin. The radio bulletin will be posted, he said, at Cowles and at the Quad, Complete with office, iumish- ings, records, and staff, all that the radio needs to speak its voice is the equipment, and the FCC permission to use it, says Armajani, The 40 [71’s and announcers will go through a dryrrun a week beiore broadcasting, claims Cloud.

They could have influence, but they were defeated by the in- troduction of drugs." Dr. Morris Lipton or North Carolina Memorial Hospital, who spent the summer in San Francisco’s Haight—Ashbury dis- trict, told a coffee-house au- dience that the flower children brought on their own destruc- tion in the form of LSD. Lipton characterized the hip- pie movement as “a sweet, laudable thing.” He called the movement a reaction to the materialism oi the Protestant ethic and middle class values The hippies, he said, are faced with an acute conflict between internal and external controls— the demands of conscience and those of society. Discussing the physiological effects of LSD, Lipton avowed: “A! a chemical expert. i can say that anyone who stays on acid rain“ or five years ends up in the nuthouse—penunnentiy." LSD interferes with the trans- mission of nervous impulses be- tween nerve endings, distorts the signals sent into the central nervous system, and causes un» Just Arrived!

Continual use, he explained, ultimately affects the nervous system‘s “wiring" and drug users wind up having psyche- delic experiences without taking the drug. Lipton added that drug users often show schizoid tendencies. “Chronic marijuana users eventually become slobs, too,” he added. He said he had taken a trip himself under laboratory coir diliDnS. “Oh, it was fun all right," he commented. ‘l've had LSD and undergone psychoanalysis.
