New book store is browser's delight
A myriad of popular books and bestsellers confront students browsing through the new Oread Book Shop in the Kansas Union addition. Nearly 20,000 titles are for sale on the basement level of the Union.
Student political groups to discuss escalation letter, war moratorium
Rick Harmon, Republican candidate for governor of Kansas in 1968, will speak at the next meeting of the College Republicans (CR) during the first week of November.
John Ruth, Wichita junior and CR president, said the group wanted to have Kansas Republican Representatives Larry Winn Jr. and Keith Sebelius appear at the meeting, but neither of them was able to attend. Winn and Sebelius were two of the members of the House of Representatives who signed a letter to President Nixon saying they were in favor of escalating the Vietnam war. Sebelius later withdrew his name.
Members of the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) are busy formulating plans for November's national war moratorium, but YSA will co-sponsor with Student Union Activities an address by Nelson Blackstock, editor of Young Socialist Magazine.
Blackstock will speak Nov. 17 on "War and the International Youth Radicalization."

The Mount Oread Book Shop opened for business Monday in the basement of the new addition to the Kansas Union.
Stewart Nowlin, manager of the book shop, said the new store is the trade book division of the Kansas Union Bookstore. The Oread book shop will handle current books and bestsellers, he said, while the bookstore handles textbooks and school materials.
Katherine Giele, Union activities adviser, said the bookstore had been very limited in the number of books it could carry. She said the bookstore could carry only about 8,000 titles while the Oread book shop has over 20,000 titles.
Three-fourths of these books are paperback, Nowlin said.
The new book shop will be the scene of an autograph party Nov. 14 featuring Lillian Gish. Miss Gish will be on campus as part of the Student Union Activities special film series.
She will be autographing copies of her new book of Hollywood recollections, "The Movies, Mr. Griffith and Me" beginning at 10 am, in the book shop.
The book shop has also scheduled a "remainder book sale beginning Nov. 3. On sale will be 500 hardback copies of best sellers and other titles published in recent years, at prices reduced up to 80 per cent, Nowlin said.
