The groups present, co-operative, 1-campus events under the direc- on of the Office of Religious Af-1 tlrs, but their main concern is'to rve the students of their faith. ach denomination provides its udents with a well-rounded pro- am of worship, discussion, coun- ling and social activity. Much of the student religious interest at the University centers on the intellectual aspects of reli- giorf. Nearly all of the student groups are concerned with the reli- gious implications of -world and local events. For example, many of the groups discussed last fall's events at Little Rock in the light of their religious beliefs and came to a better under- standing of the questions raised by the whole issue of segregation ver- sus integration. As a result of these discussions, a petition to the University pro- testing segregation in the dormi- tories' was written by members of STUDENT GOVERNMENT RUN: Students Sell Used BooJ the Congregational and Disciples Guild and supported by members of the other religious groups. This led to the organization of a stu- dent committee which engaged in the study of discriminatory prac- tices at the University and brought the integration issue to the atten- tion of the whole campus. Understanding Broadened~. This is only one example of the activities and discussions with which members of student reli- gious organizations are concerned. Each group tries to broaden its student's understanding of his faith, how his beliefs apply to his ks at SBX semester, a collection booth is lo- cated on the Diagonal. Used book pick-ups are made through the housing units. Hous- ing groups on campus are respon- sible for collecting books from residents of their house and ar- ranging for SBX pick-up. The Book Exchange is headed by the Exchange manager, who is a paid student worker. In addition, an assistant manager, a cashier and three assistant cashiers are employed by the Exchange.

It provides University students a place to sell their used text books and buy others cheaply. When books are sold, 10 per cent is deducted from the proceeds to cover advertising, wages and sup- plies of the exchange. Money from sales and any unsold books must be called for betwpen the days listed on the book card receipt given to every prospective seller.' Unsold books wpich are not called for at.this time become the property of the Exchange. Exchange administrators recom- mend that students price books in good condition at 60 per cent to 70 per cent of their original cost to the owner. The Student Book Exchange was originally operated under the aus- pices of the Michigan Union. Re- garded as a "white elephant" by campus organizations in general and the Union in particular, at- tempts were made to have it adopted by the Student Legisla tures which proceeded SGC as the student representative body. The Legislature, however, main- tained a "hands.off" policy, toward the book exchange. SGC Takes Control With the dissolving of the Stu- dent Legislature, and thbe advent of SGC, the time seemed ripe for the book exchange to" change hands. SGC, at first, would have no part of the'rExchangebut later took responsibility for it.' Operating at the beginning and end of each semester, SBX of- fers students a limited amount of time in which to take advantage of its facilities. Within a 60-day period from the beginning of the semester, the ac- tivities of the Student Book Ex- change must be terminated. This means that no more- books may be 'sold, no more money may be relegated to student owners of sold books and no more books may be brought in for selling purposes until the Exchange opens at the semester's end. Pick-Up Locations Students can present their used books for sale in various ways. During the winter semester, a collection table is provided in the lobby of Mason Iall.
