Their names will go into Whos Who Among Twenty-tw- o StuJents in American UmVcrsities this year. Students are nominated by faculty for the listing. The criteria for nomination are: (a) scholarship (at least 3.4 GPA); (b) participating and leadership in academic and activities; (c) citizenship and service to the College; and (d) potential for future achievement. Students e must be juniors or seniors and be students.

The bookstore in Shaw Center is a regular, profitmaking business operated by Follett. Follett took over management of the bookstore in August, 1981, because, according to Sandy Sandberg, temporary store supervisor, the College was having financial problems and didnt have the overhead to run the store effectively. Nursing, ten from Human and Physical Sciences, eight from Arts and Letters, and none from Business and Professional Studies. All 22 names were accepted. Dan Angus, Chairperson of the Business and Professional Studies faculty said his department did not send in any nominations for Whos Who. 1 did not have anyone in my organization who would fulfill the requirements for that designation this semester, he said. Angus was concerned because the requirements tend to exclude working students who are unable to participate in many activities. He said that was a factor in reducing the number of people who could have been nominated from the Business Department. It is grossly unfair to the student. I think there should be a special category for this type of student, said Angus. According to Jennie Wycoff, Dean of Students Office, it is an honor to be selected.

Students may return unused textbooks within the first two to three weeks of classes for a full refund if accompanied by a sales receipt. There is a buy-bac- k policy on used books. If the book is going to be used the following semester, the bookstore will buy back a percentage of used books at 50 percent of the original cost. Other used books are bought at 20 to 25 percent of original price, depending on the demand for the title. Most books that are not sold may be returned to the publisher, but each publisher has its own policy on returns. Susan Cottier, assistant professor of history, said the bookstore seems better organized under Follett 's management. Her main frustration now is the paucity of books and magazines available. Not everyone is going in there to read People magazines, she said. There is very little variety in scholarly material available. Sandberg said that many problems the bookstore faces are caused by the publishers. Some are easy to work with and others arent, she said. Some publishers will only accept 50 percent return of unsold books. This reduces managements willingness to carry reference and suggested reading titles because stock is expensive to keep on hand. Sandberg said she will carry a book if she knows the professors want her to. The bookstore ideally needs three months to get a book in stock. extra-curricul- al impressive to future employers. Stephanie Stevens, a Whos Who nominee from the Human and Physical Sciences, said she felt it was a great honor to be nominated. A student from Arts and Letters said he was surprised learn of his nomination for Whos Who. It is an honor to that will be very valuable when compiling a resume, he said. Recipients names are posted in Shaw Center and were listed in last weeks issue of the Forum. Students are listed in Whos Who by state and school and again alphabetically. A short biography is included for each student giving the students school, date of birth, parents names, degree earned, special activities and employment. The program was developed during the depression years of the 1930s to give recognition to students without burdening them with membership dues and initiation fees for clubs and sororitiesfraternities.

If the students of Westminster do not like the way delegates to UIA are chosen, the students should come up with a different way, said Allison Haegen, this years UIA delegation chairman. Haegen said she put in an application to be appointed UIA delegation chairman along with four other people. The Executive Cabinet and Legislative Assembly made the final decision, said Haegen. Mike Black, executive director and Kristen Preston, UIA governor were instrumental in deciding who would attend. The criteria and qualifications for those that applied for UIA was based solely upon the persons enthusiasm and interest, said Haegen. One student who wishes to remain ... anonymous said, prior student government experience was the criteria for going to UIA. A proposal was made to Mike Black from Jon Butler that a training seminar be held. Those wanting to attend UIA would propose bills and legislation. They would also be judged by their public speaking ability. According to Butler, this proposal made to Black was before Allison Haegen was selected delegation chairman. Haegen said that she would like to see some sort of a preparatory class held prior to UIA. Last year we tried doing this and there was no interest shown, said Haegen.

The stores normal operating hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Many students have expressed concern over being unable to buy books and supplies in the evening or before early morning classes. This concern was especially strong among students who work during the day and attend classes only in the evening. Sandberg said she does make arrangements to keep the bookstore open later for the City Center adult programs, and at the beginning of each semester. Bookstore hours are shorter in the summer.
