Used book buyback
begins December 14
The Kennel Bookstore will con¬
duct its used book buyback for the
fall 1981 semester from Dec. 14-
23. The buyback allows students to
sell back unwanted textbooks from
prior semesters.
Students selling their texts can
receive 50 percent of the purchase
price back provided that a faculty
merrjber has re-ordered the same
title for the spring 1982 semester
and the bookstore is not already
overstocked on that title.
If the book has not been re¬
ordered by a faculty member for
spring, a wholesale price, de¬
termined by an outside wholesaler
of used books, is paid to the student.
This price can vary from around
35 percent of new retail on down.
A bookmark listing the times and
other pertinent information concern¬
ing the buyback is available free at
all cash registers in the store. Stu¬
dents are requested to enter the
bookstore through the doors off the
lower west patio (by the College
Union), and to not bring their books
past the turnstiles.

feel it is a question they should already

and so students may be hesitant to ask a

"Students are our most valuable

say, 'Let's look it up,' and then they
learn where to find the answer. *
Although    the   peer. advisors   are

arts graduate student choreographed
a piece and is dancing in two pieces,
including her own.
'Probably the biggest problem we've
had is finding space," said Sheridan.
This lack of space, she added, has
made setting up a rehearsal scheduled
somewhat hectic.
"Cetting people together is also a
big task,' said Debbie De Rosa, another
student choreographer. She is currently
working on her master's thesis and the
choreography work is a section of that
thesis. .   1
'I thought about dancing in the piece,
but I find that it's realty difficult to
dance in my own piece,' said De Rosa.
She said she has choreographed dance
pieces before in working with the
CSUF Portable Dance Troupe.
There will be two performances of
the dance concert on Dec. 6. The first
will be held at 2:15 p.m. followed by a
performance at 8:15 p.m. There will
be a third performance held the fol¬
lowing night, Dec. 7, at 8:15 p.m.

Reactions
vary on
FSA plan
By Denis* Tucker
Staff Writer
Studerjt reaction to a new $100,000
improvement plan for the CSUF Free
Speech Area has ranged between, 'I
think it's a good idea" to "1 think
you should burn the school down and put
up a nuclear plant. Then you won't
have to worry about' a Free Speech
Area.' These comments were left in an
Associated Student suggestion box.
A.S. President Jeff Watson said,
despite some sarcastic reactions, the
overall opinion for the plan has been
'largely favorable.'
The proposed plan will extend the
Free Speech Area to include the land
between the Education-Psychology
Building and the old section of the
Henry Madden Library. An architec¬
tural class; Design 108, has helped with
the preliminary model which includes a
mini-amphitheater and a seating area for
250 to 300 students.
'We have this area out there right now
that's an eye-sore. It's ugly,' said
Watson.
The proposal is three-fold. Watson
said the plan will include 'aesthetically
enhancing' the area and improving
free speech on campus. He said the
'rickety podium* that is in the area right
now will be replaced by the mini-amphi¬
theater.
"There is a need for more forums,
debates and discussions to stimulate
campus dialogue," said Watson. 'It's
not a real class thing to have a speaker
in the Free Speech Area because of lack
of facilities."
The third step will be to provide a
more relaxing area for students.
"Right now there's too much con¬
gestion,' he said.. 'We want to make it
nicer and Inviting for more students to
come and study.'
Although there are problems with the
present Free Speech Area, Watson said
he is not as much concerned with the

Faculty show 'visual smorgasbord'
By Dsnlcs A. Rio*
Staff Writer
CSUF students and the public can be
treated to a visual smorgasbord of art at
the Biennial Faculty Art Show now set
up in the Phebe Conley Art Gallery.
Bill Minschew, director of the gallery
and professor of art, said that this is
one of the best faculty shows he's seen
in his five years as gallery director.
'It's really an interesting show,' he
said, looking over the variety of art
pieces. 'It really works beautifully.'
The pieces reflect the variety of faculty
working in the Department of Art, he-
said. There are 49 pieces ranging from
acrylic paintings to oil paintings or
fabrics.
. Minschew, who is showing his work of
stainless steel and prism (colored tape
cut by laser), said other pieces in the
exhibit are ceramics, such as pottery
and bronze castings.
Minschew said all the art is done by
the 23 full-time and part-time art depart¬
ment faculty, and that many of the
pieces were created especially for the
show.
The sandy-haired director said the
exhibit was designed around the pieces
to show them in the best possible way.
'Art is one of the magic mediums in
our culture,'he said.
Minschew said that many of the
• pieces of art shown will be up for sale.
He said the exhibit, which opened
Sunday, will run through January 24.
He said this allows the students to see
the exhibit about 1VS weeks into the
spring semester.
Gallery hours are Monday-Friday from
8 a.m.-5 p.m.; Tuesday and Thurs¬
day evenings from 7-10 p.m., and Sun¬
day from 1-5 p.m. The gallery will be
closed Saturdays.
Admission is free.
Housing dilemma
V
Reality of apartment life does not measure up to expectations
By Karon Busch
Staff Writer
Don Koffer had his college apartment planned by his senior year in high school.
His 'bachelor pad' (as he called it) would be complete with stereo system, colored
T.V., waterbed,' even a bear-skin rug in front of the gas-heated fireplace.
'You're only young once," Koffer said. "~-       ——^\
Problem was, apartment life wasn't as Koffer anticipated.
'I got an apartment by myself in September of 1980, but had to find a roommate
by December'Koffer said. 'The costs.were killing me... Shoot, between a full-time
load at school and working 35 hours a week to support myself, 1 never had any time
to enjoy the place anyway.'
Koffer, a 22-year-oW business major, wasn't the only CSUF student to express
disillusionment in regards to apartment living.
Katie Ash, 19,, moved into an apartment after living at home her first semester
in college. She kept the apartment for the duration of the six-months lease, then
moved back home.
' I had heard how great it was to live in an apartment, "Ash said. 'But reality
just didn' t measure up to the image. The carpet was intestinal green, it was smelly,
I hate to cook for myself... the list goes on. I guess I just like the comforts of home.'
The housing dilemma: where to live While attending college? While apartments
offer the logical solution to many CSUF students ('I enjoy having a place all my
own,' — Sally, 23, accounting; *l 'm from out of town, and apartments were more
similar to home than fraternity houses or dorms," - John, 19, industrial arts; 'I
don't get along with my brothers and sisters at home,' - Silva, 18, marketing),
there were several pitfalls commonly voiced by CSUF students that can spoil 'the
heavenly haven away from home.' j^-
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY —^
Marianne Hall, 23, said her fcrrner roommate moved out two months prior to the
termination of the apartment lease, leaving her 'high and dry.'
'I signed the lease papers because I had a job and established credit and she.
didn't,' Hall said. 'Then one day she came in and said sorry, she was moving home
because she was running low on money. That was it. I was stuck with the lease. And,
to top things off, when the PG&E and phone bills came in for the last month she
lived in the apartment, she refused to pay those too.*
Hall said the total amount her roommate owed for phone and electrical was $60.
'I was both shocked and hurt,' Hall said. 'I haven't had anything to do with the
girl since then.*
Hall' s advice to students who share expenses with a roommate is first, to live
with 'people you can trust." Second, to establish ground rules from the start: joint
names on the phone and electrical bills, joint signatures on the lease. And finally,
'have everyone buy their own articles, such as food, bathroom essentials and the
like.
'If a person's name is on a bill, they feel more personally responsible and will be
less likelv to rip you off," Hall said.
I BEWARE OF ROOMING WITH BEST FRIENDS
'The worse thing about living with Joan,' said Margaret Young (not her real name)
19, 'is that my Image of her changed drastically. I never knew she was so messy,
that she liked to pick at food in the refrigerator with her hands, and that she picked
her toes in front of the T.V. It drove me crazy.'
Margaret said she and Joan had been best friends through high school, and re¬
mained equally close in college. During their sophomore year at CSUF, she said,
they decided to get an apartment together. Within two months, they both decided to
seek different roommates, Margaret said, 'due to irreconcilable differences.*
'You think you know someone, but you don' t really until you live with them,*
Margaret said. 'I'm sure I drove Joan as equally nuts ... We 'still talk, but we aren't
even half as close as before. I just tan't look at her without thinking of her holding
cold spaghetti with her fingers. I just get irritated."
