“The deans need to set a pace
for their departments, saying
that ‘We have to do this sooner,
this is imperative, and this is
something that will help stu
dents,’” Smith said.
Smith said a lot of colleges
and departments do not realize
how turning in their requests
before finals can help students.
“I think if we just communi
cate that to the deans then they’ll
understand and they will do
something about it,” Smith said.
Susan Geller, professor of
mathematics, said she requests
the textbooks that will be used
for fall during mid-spring.
She said many books in the
math department are i
textbook committees,
vidual professors.
“One of our books
not chosen yet,” Geller
“(The committee) is!
ing on it.”
Sometimes the textbool
not get picked for reason
are beyond control.
“I know the studentsgei
ly hot about ‘Well, why
you know?’ but 1 think al
the students forget thatthef
ty are human beings.”
Geller said she also take
dents’ finances into cons
lion when picking (
material.
“I refuse to publish
so students can get it fe
price of duplication fi
Corner,” she said. “A
really do care.”

The drop at the pump also
reflects an effort by refiners to
maximize gasoline production to
meet summer demands,
Lundberg said.
“Whether for the rest of the
summer gas prices will continue
to trend down depends on
OPEC’s follow-through to
increase oil output and how
strong our gasoline demand turns
out to be,” Lundberg said. “We
always consume the most in
July and August.”
OPEC, which supplie
than a third of the world’s:
announced earlier this n
would raise its official (M
