Real Measure of Affluence
$DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
Is How Much "Junk"
Prof. Ross J. Wilhelm of the1
graduate school of business ad-
ministration said yesterday that
a real measure of how affluent
our. society has become is the1
growing market for used personal'
items such as china, glassware,'
rugs or utensiles. Sales and prices
of used merchandise are increas-
ing all the time, and persons fromi
all income levels are both sellingi
and buying used products.
"While we have always had such
things as rummage sales and
church bazaars, the sale of used{
merchandise today is being taken
over by professionals," Wilhelm
added.
The first of three general
methods being used to dispose of
used merchandise is the establish-
ment in some larger cities of new
thieves or flea markets.
Wilhelm said that congested
streets and highly efficient retail
stores have contributed to the de-
cline of the traditional municipal
or farmers markets in many cities,
but at the same time open markets
specializing in the sale of used
merchandise are growing.
"Traditionally Maxwell St. in
Chicago and Delancey St, in New
York and other such open markets
have served as discount centers
for lower income neighborhoods.
But in recent years the customers
attending such markets include
many upper income people, and
the merchandise being offered is
of higher quality," he said.
Wilhelm noted that in New York
City a bona fide flea market was
established recently for hunters
of used bargains. Held Sunday
afternoons in the spring and fall
on a Manhattan parking lot, with
a 75 cent admision charge, the
market and its average of 100
vendors attracts as many as 6,000
customers on a good day. Most of
the vendors are antique dealers.
Another method is the estab-,
lishment of second-hand mer-
chandise stores designed to cater
to the higher rather than lower
ISold
income groups. These new private
shops are joining Goodwill Indus-
tries and the Salvation Army in
merchandising used goods. Some
of the shops sell merchandise
consigned to them by sellers,
while others buy from individuals
to sell on their own.
Also owners organize private
sales of their goods on their own
premises - usually by having a
garage sale. Garage sales are be-
ing held by individuals in cities
all over the country, often by peo-
ple who are getting ready to move,
Wilhelm explained.
The buyers at garage sales, like
those at the flea markets, include
a large number. of antique col-
lectors as well as people who want
to furnish a summer cottage or
just pick up a bargain. Typically
the person holding the sale ac-
cumulates his merchandise in his
garage, puts low prices on the
items, advertises the time of the
sale and then prays it doesn't rain.

Text of Letter to Vice-President Cutler
Professonal Theatre Program
presents
the National Tou
ISIINRIED
qISECE ED
Dear Dr. Cutler:
We are writing this letter to
express our disappointment and
dissatisfaction with your office.
We are making the letter public
as an explanation to the thirteen
thousand students on this campus
who 'signed their names to a
petition demanding a University
Discount Bookstore. Not an ex-
planation as to why there will be
none;' but an explanation as to
why students were ignored in the
final most crucial portion of the
bookstore campaign.
It has been our belief that the
University must commit itself to
the students' economic welfare
when that welfare co-
incides with their educational
belief, we have presented a pro-
posal for a University discount
bookstore. It was in our estimation
a feasible proposal-one step in
lowering educational costs. We still
maintain this position in spite of
the fact that it will not become a
reality. We have tried, and have
considered our activities meaning-
ful. Now we are not so sure.
When you addressed Student
Government Council last Septem-
ber, you; assured us that, your
office would do all it could to
further responsible student de-
sires. You also stressed the need
for visible student support on any
demand. But most important, you
pledged you cooperation with us
in attaining these goals. We were
responsible. We demonstrated stu-
dent support. We got you 13,000
signatures and waited for this
cooperation. It never came-for
you have all but ignored us. You
didn't ignore the proposal; that
isn't our complaint. You ignored
us! Eight weeks ago you promised
that when you reached a decision
as to the bookstore matter you
would notify us. You never did.
The first we heard of the decision
was from a news leak in the
Michigan Daily. Yes, we were fin-
ally allowed to see you-two days
before the Regents' meeting, when
decisions had already been ce-
mented.
You have done much in the
past on students' behalf and we
dislike criticizing you. But this
criticism is justified. We cannot
pass off your lack of cooperation
as a mere mistake or oversight:
the matter is too important. It
concerns the whole issue of the
relevancy and meaning of our past
(and future) activities.
We are now faced with the
question: when we, as students,
want something done on an
official level at this university,
should we come to you (as we
have done in the past), or should
we instead scream a little louder
so that even those in the salmon-
colored building across the street
can hear? It is an important ques-
tion, and not necessarily a per-
sonal one. It involves the issue
of whether to work within the
system or without. Can we, by
working through your office, ever
achieve our goals or are you only
one small and unimportant cog in
the massive flywheel of the Uni-
versity? You have repeatedly as-
serted that it is your purpose to
make the Vice-Presidency for
Student Affairs a major vice-
presidency, ranking along side the
other major vice-presidents. We
feel that in the bookstore issue at
least, you have not followed your
words with appropriate actions.
The problems lies in first de-
fining the purpose of the Office
of Student Affairs. It is our feel-
ing that its purpose should con-
cern itself with giving the student
a voice in the policy-making pro-
cess. If you neglect that purpose
by failing to work closely with
students in matters which directly
concern them, then you have failed
in your main purpose. Further,
and more important, if students
lose confidence in you, and de-
cide it pointless to even consult
you on any matters of importance
to 'the general University com-
munity, then you have in effect
not only ceased to function in
your post, but have also reduced
the Vice-Presidency for Student
Affairs to a position of super-
fluity.
'We repeat: our complaint is not
with your position on the book-
store (Although we do not agree
with it). Our dissatisfaction in-
volves a far more basic issue; that
of giving students a role in the
decision-making process. Our dis-
appointment is with your apparent
lack of concern over the import-
ance of discussing with students
problems which greatly affect
them. Inherent in this, is our
feeling that both you and we would
have profited by an exchange of
ideas before your decision had
been made. We expect no less.

You can read 150-200 pages an hour using the ACCELERATED READING method.
You'll learn to comprehend at speeds of 1,000 to 2,000 words a minute. And retention is
excellent.
This is NOT a skimming method; you definitely read every word.
You can apply the ACCELERATED READING method to textbooks and factual mate-
rial as well as to literature and fiction. The author's style is not lost when you read at these
speeds. In fact, your accuracy and enjoyment in reading will be increased.
Consider what this new reading ability will enable you to accomplish-in your required
reading and in the additional reading you want to do.
No machines, projectors, or apparatus are used in learning the ACCELERATED READ-
ING method. Thus the reader avoids developing any dependence upon external equipment in
reading.
An afternoon class and an evening class in ACCELERATED READING will be taught
each TUESDAY adjacent to the U. of M. campus, beginning on February 15.
