"This is a great place for Christmas shopping for students on a budget," said Sandra Wiechert, community relations coordinator for the library. 707 Vermont St. The book sale is the library's biggest fundraiser of the year. The money buys books and needed equipment for the library. 检验者：周丽华 检验日期：2023年1月14日 报告编号： 审核人：陈晓明 签字： Throughout the year, as people donate books to the library, volunteers from the Friends of the Library sort the books and price them. The group then gets first crack at the books before the public has a chance to buy on Saturday. Wiechert said that most of the books were used but that some were new. The Friends of the Library sell more than 100,000 books a year. The group raised more than $45,000 last year. Norman Saul, president of the group and professor of history at the University of Kansas, said the sale usually attracted about 2,000 to 3,000 people. This year, many of the popular categories of books romance, mystery, science fiction and fiction cost 50 cents per book. With the purchase of four of these books, buyers receive a fifth free. The sale also includes cookbooks, large "coffee table" or "gift books" and some textbooks. Wiechert encouraged people to continue coming through the last day of the sale because the group constantly was bringing out new boxes of books. She said a process would be announced for the distribution of leftovers. The sale will be today from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Books will be halfprice from noon to 9 p.m. Monday. Tuesday, the last day of the sale, will be Bag Night. People may purchase a bag for $5 and take home as many books as they can fit. Membership forms for Friends of the Library are available at the circulation desk of the library. The membership fee is $8. The library will have another book sale in February.

The meetings will offer information to help students choose spring semester classes and guidance for students who haven't declared a major. The Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center has scheduled meetings at four residence halls, Margaret Amiini scholarship hall, Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Advising begins just as permits to enroll are about to hit students' mailboxes, which should happen sometime next week, said Gloria Flores, associate director of the center. Marissa Heffley, Atchison freshman, said she hoped to find out more about majoring in strategic communications in the School of Journalism. "I want to go and make sure I've got all my requirements in," she said. Flores said advisers are taking the meetings into student housing for the first time to give freshmen guidance on what requirements they need fulfill. Advisers will discuss requirements for professional schools and understanding the Academic Records Tracking form. "Freshmen, in particular, just came from new student orientation, where enrollment was tailored for them," Flores said. "Now, they're a little bit more on their own, so that's why we're going to them." The two sophomore meetings will be geared toward preparation for declaring a major. "We know sophomores understand the system," she said. "What we're going to talk about with the sophomores is exploring majors." Edited by Shawn Hutchinson Word of mouth boosts Writer's Roost usage By Cassio Furtado Special to the Kansan Writer's Roost, a service created in fall 1988, has several tutors and campus locations to assist students in writing papers — and students are using it more and more. When the time comes to write an essay, University of Kansas students are not alone in their quest to fill a blank page. "We have been steadily growing and served over 2,000 students last year," said Michele Eodice, director of Writer's Roost. "In addition, we meet with thousands of students in class visits each semester." The roots assisted 129 students during the first four weeks of school this fall, up from 34 during the same four weeks last year, she said. Nancy Copp, Lawrence graduate student, said the Writer's Roost, which has several locations on campus, was a great service to students. "I'm finding it very helpful, and it's free. I plan to continue coming here," she said. Eodice said the roosts helped students with writing skills needed for more than 70 majors. "We are truly responding to writing from all across the campus," she said. "We see freshmen in English 101 and doctoral students working on a dissertation." Writer's Roost has opened several new locations this fall. It now has sessions in Watson Library, Templin Residence Hall Applied Resource Center, Gertrude Sellards Pearson Residence Hall, and at Room 4005 in Wescoe Hall. "Our program is catching on with students, mainly because instructors are very supportive, but also because the student word-of-mouth to peers is very positive too," Edode said.
