said.
If the customer’s new address
is known, the company sends a
letter to him, requesting the re
turn of the cable box. If the new
address is not known, Midwest
will try to find the person and
bring charges against him, Jaku
bik said.
“We’re following... our infor
mation sheets that these old cus
tomers filled out, but I don’t
think we can get all of them —
especially those who have
moved out of State,” Jakubik
said.
If the boxes are brought in
voluntarily, Jakubik said no
charges will be filed.
“We’re losing too much
money right now, and if we
don’t start getting some of our
boxes back somehow then we
will have to raise our prices on
our loyal customers, which I
don’t want to see happen,” Jaku
bik said.

Donna Armentero, the
Record Bar’s manager,
stunned the Record Bar review board during
her oral finals. Decision of the board was
unanimous when, given the information, “I

wages war
on grime
Record Bar declared war on “the high
cost of grime” today.
“Dirt, dust and grime can criminally
abuse your record and tape collection,” said
a Record Bar source, “so we carry accessories
that’ll clean up the nation’s music.”
Consumers are urged to join the fight
against grime with record and tape care
accessories from the new Record Bar
in Post Oak Mall.
In a related incident, the Record Bar
also took the bugs out of pre-recorded
tapes with a no-hassle, one-year guarantee
on all tapes.
The guarantee covers all eight-track
and cassette tapes, and is honored at any
Record Bar in the country.

Leading star watchers predict a major
music quake will strike Post Oak Mall when
Record Bar, College Station’s new full
line record and tape store, celebrates its
Grand Opening February 17.
Among the thousands of stars featured
in Record Bar’s vast selection are Journey,
Kenny Rogers, the Rolling Stones, Alabama,

“Things around here will never be
the same,” said one College Station
music lover.
Following the philosophy that “you can
please all of the people all of the time,”
the Record Bar will unveil what many
believe is an unprecedented range of artists
and titles on record and tape.
It is also believed that sale prices,
previously thought to be an endangered
species, will find a permanent home in the
new Record Bar.
“The Record Bar will have daily sale
prices on the top hits,” said a well-placed
source, as well as special Grand Opening
prices ($6.49 for the record and $6.99 for
the tape): J. Ceils Band, “Freeze Frame,”
Delbert McClinton, “Plain from the Heart,”
Journey, “Escape,” Razzy Bailey, “Peelin’
