The Publications Committee has chos< en Mike Brandon as editor of the 33:3 and has named Paul Lewis, Marshall Barber, Marian Race, Peggy Morrison and John Ellmore to the executive bDard of the radio station. The editors of Nous and the Cyclone have not been chosen yet. Most decisions about next year's puh< llcations will be made after this year’s Cyclone comes out. The enthusiasm at student response to the Cyclone will de- termine its late. There is the possibility that the Cyclone will be discontinued and the money that previously was tund- ed to it will be transferred to Nous. Another possibility is that Nous will be- come a 16-page supplement to the 58d! it the Cyclone is continued. In this case, Nous would be distributed to all stu- dents, although not necessarily with the 53:1].

TRAVEL CENTER 308 — 5th Ave. Couri- Phone 236-4384 236-4675 By JONATHAN STEIN The book store committee is almost ready to give their iinal recommenda- (ions concerning next year's Bookstore. The committee, comprised oi Mr. Moore, Mr. Parslnnen, Mr. Muchmote, Mark Kass, Henry Scheft, and Jonathan Stein will make the following proposals. The College should conceive of the Bookstore as a service to the college community. There is no place within 50 miles of Grinneil where quality books and periodicals can be purchased and access to quality books and periodicals is essential to a liberal arts education, It is obvious that the college can never have an adequate Bookstore in the space now allocated. The women's Gym, when available and properly renovated, will be ideal. Until the Gym in available. tha Bookstore should be located in one oi the vacant floors in the oiiice building: on 5th street. We are aware that this temporary lo- cation will be somewhat inconvenient, but the need of a good Bookstore is so urgent that the temporary inconvenience is more than onset by the availability oi adequate space. . The committee also will recommend that texts required for college courses be distributed irom behind the counter at a special center on campus. Prear- ranged bundles of books for Each course should be made up in advance to speed up the distribution. It would also he pos- sible to buy any book singly at the center but considering that the majority oi stu~ dents buy their books at one time this plan would speed up the entire operas tioil. This plan would be more convenient ior students, since there would be less crowding, searching for books, standing in line with heavy loads, etc. and should cut down considerably on thettr This special distribution center would be open for the first two or three weeks of each semester; alter this time a few copies of each text would be kept in the Book- store for late purchases. The committee will also recommend that there should be a standing com- mittee, probably three faculty and thre- students, to work with the Bookstore manager on stocking books and mater- ials. The committee strongly recommends that any student should be able to order any book at any time through the book- store. Such is not the case at the present time. Quality magazines and periodicals da- ilnltely belong in tha bookstore. Students should be hired when opening: are available in bookstore personnel. Used books, new and used records. posters, prints, and art materials will hopefully be included in the new book»- store. The Committee emphasizes the need for a quality bookstore that will be an integral part or the intellectual environ- ment of Grinnell College. The need for a better bookstore has existed too long. It is hoped that the ad- ministration will give the matter top pri- ority so that R quality bookstore will be a reality in September. l’enneyo MWAVB FIRST DUAL" THRU SATURDAY ONLY MEN'S CANVAS SHOES WOMEN’S CANVAS SHOES Now ONLY neg. $3.99 Now ONLY $350 $250 leg. 52.” SHOP THIS WEEK AND SAVI Get Your WESTERN.
