"Those three days are the heaviest and we won't be open the following Saturday," he said.
Students planning to sell textbooks back to the Kansas Union Bookstore shouldn't wait until the last three days, Mike Behon, assistant bookstore manager, said recently.
Textbook buy back occurs three times a year and for this semester will be May 11 and you will need the bookstore wasn't up to "rip" students or its image among students remained bad.
"AFTER A LONG day of enrolling, it 's hot, you've stood in line for hours, some of your classes have probably closed in sections you needed, what else is there to left?" he asks. "Students need someone they can照顾 bookstore and food service are often that."
Beahon said that when the books were
bought back, it actually wasn't the bookstore doing the buying.
"The Nebraska Book Company, the largest wholesale new and used book distributor in the United States, brings their books to everyone. They are either for themselves or for us." he said.
"IF THEY BUY it back for themselves, they pay the wholesale rate and that can be anything from five cents to 40 cents on the dollar." he explained.
From the instructors' orders, the list of textbooks needed for the next semester is prepared, he said. This semester, if in person, will be held on May 9, the titles 21 will be added to the list.
That list is used by the Nebraska Book Company to find out whether the Union bookstore wants it bought back. If a title is on the list, it means that it is one of the current list price of the book, he said.
Beahon acknowledged that sometimes the bookstore would only buy a certain quantity
"SUPPLE WE HAD two sections of a course," Beahon said. "We get the Instructors order for one section because the other section has been closed down," he said. "We won't use as many books and will therefore buy back accordingly."
of a book, and after that students would receive the wholesale prices.
Beahon said three things could happen to textbooks.
"The book could be discontinent whether by publisher or instructor, in which case the book is worthless and no good to anyone," he said.
"Or the book could be used here again," he said. "In that case the bookstore would buy it back for half the current publisher's price.
"OR THE BOOK may have a new edition and subsequently not be used here but could be used elsewhere," he said. In that case, the book would be bought back at the
wholesale rate by the Nebraska company for themselves, he said.
The condition of the books isn't important, as long as they appear complete and have all the details.
Stewart Jewett, text manager, said 1,700 of the store's 4,800 titles, or 35 per cent of the titles, ended up on the bookstore buy-back list. "There are a few departments and some are in order later, but our cooperation from faculty and staff has been improved," he said.
Beahoon said students wishing to know whether the text would be used a semester or two down the road should talk to their instructors, or tell them to get their orders
Whenever possible, Jewitt said, the bookstore tries to get the books as cheaply as possible. Late or uncle orders increase the competition with other college bookstores trying to get the same title, he said.
Weary students burn all-night oil

all-nighter, n. (college slang) the act of singing up all night to complete homework
That definition isn't an entry in English dictionaries, but according to some University of Kansas Students polled this year, it was the most common vocabularies, especially during finals.
FINALS WEEK inspires all-nighters.
Students faced with unfinished research projects, 600 pages of required reading and writing, a month's sacrifice sleep to deal with the overload.
But all-nighters aren't confined to finals week. Baggy eyes, nodding heads and dead expressions—characteristics of chronic allure—are seen at various times during a semester.

"ipsychie myself up knowing that I have a due date at the end of the week," he said. "I will go."
HE SAID HE SET a personal record last semester, when he slept only 20 hours during the week of a presentation of a museum designing project.
Naylor said, "After repeated all-nighters, I a mombite l'instant don't function that well until I get back to work."
Some students said that afternoon naps the day after an all-nighter were common. But Kenneth Armitage, professor of physiology and cell biology, said sleeping the afternoon after an all-nighter was bad for the body.
"A person's biological clock goes through sleeping and waking phases whether or not he sleeps," he said. "If he sleeps the next afternoon, that isn't his sleeping phase. The body functions better if the natural clock runs freely."
If a person pulls one all-nighter, he said, he doesn't change his biological clock, but he strains it. A person will go back to his natural clock in the next sleeping phase.
ARMITAGE SAID THAT successive all-
nighters could shift a person's natural
nature.
"The body will rebel after a while." he said. "It's possible for people to adjust their clocks, but it generally takes a week to put the clock on a new cycle."

However, Joseph Johnson, Kenai, Alaska, sophomore, he didn't use any shortterm stimulants when he pulled all-nighters, which often become all-weekers.

Charles Neuringer, professor of psychology, said, "When a person stays up all night, the ability to memorize, to process information and to integrate it is severely damaged."
"I figure if I can't stay awake, I don't have any business being in" he said.
Johnson, majoring in engineering, is taking 21 hours this semester.
HE SAID HE didn'T do 'as well on tests if he staved up all night, beforehand.
THE MIND REACHES a 'saturation point when information interferes with the brain'
Students said after-effects of an alr-
hugger included being nervous, slap-happy,
or frightened.
Naylor said he thought the work he did at night was done as well as his work during daylight hours.
He said there was a limit to the amount of material the mind could comprehend.
Nueringer said, "When a person is fatigued, he can't control some of his behavior. The control over inhibitions drops. People do things they ordinarily wouldn't do, such as cry, laugh uncontrollably or stumble.
But Neuringer said, "By cramming all night, a person has a mass of corrupt information. It's extremely inefficient and deceptive. It is crammed in a confused, chaotic way."
For all but two members of the KU women's track team the outdoor season ended Saturday following the Big Eight Outdoor Track Championships.
"My advice to students is to space out studying at regular periods so that they don't get fatigued cramming the night an exam. But not everyone can do this."
Calmese has bettered national qualifying times in both the 100 meters and the 200
the two exceptions, Sheila Calmeese and Charmaine Kuhman, have two weeks to prepare for the AIAW National Track competitions to be held May 18-21 at UCLA.
Calmese, Kuhlman head for AIAW track nationals
meters, and Kuhman qualified for the nationals in the 400 meters.
KU coach Tom Lionvale said both Calmese and Kuhlman would be strong contenders for the national title in their respective events.
**THIS YEAR'S** national will be the second for Calmese, a sophomore from St. Louis. She was ninth in the 100 meters last year when she ran an 11.6.
Calmees's best effort in the 100 this season was 11.4 at the KU Relays.
Now he tells us.
Within its power capabilities, which are more than adequate for driving most loudspeakers [including all Advents] under home listening conditions, the Model 300 is designed to sound as good as the best equipment at any cost. Its overall listening quality is comparable to that of the best separate-chassis preamp, funer, power amplifier combinations.
The Advent Model 300 is a unique stereo receiver with audible performance that compares directly, in every respect except total power output, to that of the most expensive separate-chassis components.
