Page 6 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1979 New Xerox machines convenient, profitable By ERIN BECKERS Battalion Reporter Students in the Commons dorms and on the north side of campus no longer have to walk to the library for use of a copying machine. Now, each area has its own new Xerox machine and, according to area coordinators, the copiers have satis fied an apparent need. “The demand has been a lot higher than what was expected,” said Commons Area Coordinator W.J. Ferris. Since the machine was installed in the front of the Com mons in September, there has never been a problem of meeting the minimum number of copies — 7,610 — required to pay for the rent of the machine. “We re well pleased with the op eration,” Ferris said. “It looks like we have met a need.” There has also been a great use of the machine on the north side of campus in Lounge A-l, said Paul Henry, assistant area director. Since the installation two weeks ago, about 9,000 copies have been made. Profits from that machine will go toward lounge improvements, said Matt Bielamowicz, Resident Hous ing Association committee member for the indoor recreation facilities. JIM KING BOOKSELLER Open Sundays 1-5 p.m. Woodstone Center 693/1883 “It looks like it’s going to pay for everything itself, plus maybe a little left over, he said, he has had the idea for the copier since last year, he said. “It’s really something we really did need and it’s working out well,” he said. A special account for the Com mons machine was made in the stu dent finance center and Ferris said “any money collected is deposited there to pay for rental and supplies.” Bielamowicz said one lounge im provement that might be made is better lighting for the study lounges, which are only bright enough for television viewing. New coin changing machines are part of both of the new machines. Dollar bill changers can be found in the laundry room at the north side of campus, the Memorial Student Center or the library. what’s up F riday AGGIE PLAYERS: Bertolt Brecht’s play “Threepenny Opera” will be performed at 8 p.m. in the Rudder Theater.
