Student Government has set up a
used book exchange this semester to
help students buy and sell textbooks.
Student Government will keep a file
of all the registered textbooks for
students to check in the spring.

Spring in general studies, fills out a

EL PASO — The value of
Mexico’s troubled peso plunged
against the American dollar in
border city banks in the wake of
Mexico’s announcement that its
ban on dollars will be lifted and
two exchange rates established.
El Paso National Bank
opened its exchange window
Monday with record rates of
buying 145 pesos for $ 1 and sell
ing 130 pesos for $ 1.
By mid-morning, the bank
dropped its buying rate to 140
pesos for $ 1.
State National Bank was
buying 142 pesos for $ 1 and sell
ing 132 pesos for $1.
Jesus Rios, of EPNB’s inter
national department, said the
145 to 1 exchange is pretty
realistic.
“It’s supply and demand,”
Rios said. “When you consider
all the problems of Mexico, 145
isn’t ail that unrealistic. The
country’s problems of unem
ployment, inflation, withdrawal
of federal subsidies and their
lack of dollars. All these things
determine the rate of ex
change.”
Bring your out-of-date books,
with your new books & we’ll
make you an offer on all your
books (including paperbooks).
The rate was determined
partly by how retailers in El Paso
and California were trading the
peso over the weekend.
He said several El Paso mer
chants were exchanging be
tween 140 and 150 pesos for $ 1,
while some areas of California
were trading as high as 160
pesos for $ 1.
Under the currency reform,
an exchange rate for private
citizens is determined by supply
and demand and another, for
business, is set at 70 pesos to the
dollar.
Great!

Subpoenas to appear before
the grand jury have been issued
for Mike Jeffrey of Coldspring,
a justice of the peace in San
Jacinto County, and Jack Fly, a
local wrecker driver.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott
Woodward said the probe could
last several months.
“We’re working very hard on
it,” he said.
The lawsuit filed by the
American Civil Liberties Union
charges that the sheriffs office
was running a “marijuana trap”
along U.S. Highway 59 north of
Houston. Deputies would stop
