Underaged patrons clubs. Students still able to enter clubs despite being too young to drink By Julie Mitchell Reporter Freshman Question: Where is all the fun my parents are worried about my having? Answer: The fun your parents are worried about can be found at more than a dozen Texas A&M night spots. When the drinking age changed in September 1986 f rom 19 to 21, many nightclubs changed their poli cies to admit those who were too young to drink. Now, almost every night spot in Bryan-College Station will admit stu dents and patrons who are below the drinking age — but they cannot drink alcoholic beverages. Most clubs stamp those who are over 21 years old to set apart those who are too young to drink from the rest of the crowd.

Books “So much time and energy goes into buying used books that, in the long-run, it's not worth it for the bookstores to buy used books. ” Lynne Williams, St. Martins' Press (Continued from page 6) of ethics, Ferrell said. “Most profes sors understand what they are doing when they sell the books. Bookstores should refuse to buy the complimen tary books from the professors and if they don’t then students should re fuse to buy a book that has a compli mentary sticker on it.” Shri Parchure, manager of Lou- pots Bookstore, said, “I see nothing wrong with buying back complimen tary copies. When I was a professor and companies came to me with books, I would sell some back to bookstores. I don’t think it’s the pro fessors selling copies to the bookstores, as much as it is the sales representatives.” Regardless, Ferrell said, when a anyone does this they are making the price higher for the student, and are “robbing the textbook company as well.” Students also get upset when books come out in different edition, meaning the bookstore won’t buy back the previous edition. DeHart said this happens because publishers have to reprint books if they want to make money, and sometimes this means they’ll just flip-flop the chapters around, but it’s basically the same thing. “I think there should be a law against it,” he said. Williams said new editions are printed on the average every three years, because sometimes there are mistakes in the old version and be cause professors get tired of teach ing from the same textbook year af ter year. “With many books you have to add the new developments, and technology has advanced since the last edition was printed, so a new edition is necessary,” she said. “It’s important that professors and stu dents be up-to-date on the material.” It’s also important for bookstores to up-to-date on book lists from pro fessors. Philip Beard, general manager for University Bookstore, suggested that students wait until bookstores have a list from professors that say whether a book is going to be used again. When bookstores are not sure, the buy-back involves less money for the student. Kiely said, “When students buy their books it may be the first time they see dollars come from their own pockets, and that scares them. Many E arents are enraged about the price ecause when they were in school it didn’t cost $200 or $300 for books.” “But books are business that must be treated like anything else on the market,” he said. “We can’t make all of the people happy all of the time.” NOW & SAVE mouPOT'sro WE GUARANTEE the Right BOOKS Northgate Redmond Terrace Jersey Street (■cross from Post Office) (next to Academy) (Southgate) Digital Audio EXCHANGE “By and for music f aualice."
