tory. Sam's has the largest
stock of levis in southeast Mich-
igan, over 7,000 pairs, sizes 0-76.
Another explanation offered
by the student customers for
making the journey out to
Sam's is the atmosphere. Ex-
plains one senior, "It's old, real
friendly, and informal - they're
not always bugging you to buy
something."
The lack of pressure, which
is a policy at Sam's, is also the
reason one coed gives for walk-
ing from campus to Sam's in
20 degree weather. "I wanted to
buy a pair of boys jeans," she
says, "and I was too chicken to
go to a boys store. Here, you can
try on anything ....
One clerk notes that ladies
buy almost everything the men
buy.
The selection at Sam's Store
is frequently cited by the cus-
tomers as superior to most com-
mercial Ann Arbor stores.

A Christmas GIFT SUBSCRIPTION
By LISA STEPHENS
Are you sick of hearing your
roommate talk about his trip to
Europe?
Do you wish you were dead
when the dinner table conversa-
tion turns to Great Cities I Have
Visited and the best you can
manage is Cleveland?
Do you cringe when you com-
pliment someone on their sweat-
er and find out they "picked it
up for nothing" in some little
shop in Belgium?
Are you tired of watching your
best friend get letters e v e r y
week from someone they met in
Barcelona?
Center has the answer to that
urge to jet away from it all:
UAC charter flights. UAC can
take you round-trip to Europe
for less than the cost of a one-
way flight on a commercial air-
line.
Unlike other charter groups
on campus, UAC makes no prof-
it on their flights. Any excess
money left after the plane fills
is returned to the travellers as
a rebate. The refund has been
as high as $30 in the past,
Gates Moss, UAC's travel chair-
man, says.
Is that what's bothering you,
friend?
Well,
