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.

The agenda will consist of two elements: 1) Introductory remarks by the dean concerning recent developments in Graduate School administration, ad- missions procedures, fellowship decen- tralization, and review of foreign lan- guage requirements; and 2) General discussion by the Gradu- ate Faculty. The Michigan Memorial-Phoenix Proj- ect invites requests for faculty research grants to support research within the scope of the term "peaceful uses of nuclear energy." The Project is par- ticularly interested in studies concerned with: Biological Effects of Radiation, Radiation Dosimetry, New Uses of Iso- topes, New Tracer Techniques, Direct Conversion of Nuclear Energy to Elec- trical Energy, The Fusion Process, Plas- mas as Related to Controlled Fusion, Radiation Chemistry, Nuclear Weapons Proliferation and Disarmament, Psy- chological Attitudes Toward Nuclear Energy Hazards, Evaluation of Hazards to Urban Populations from Nuclear Activities, and Economic Studies of Nuclear Activities Including Power Pro- duction. The Project will not support work whose only relation to nuclear, energy is a routine use of isotope tracer techniques. Requests for grants of $3000 or less are most appropriate. Grants may cov- er equipment, supplies, research assist- ance, and field trips. Applications for these grants should be returned to the Phoenix Project by Mon., Jan. 31, 1966. Grants will be made by April 1. Application blanks may be obtained from the office of the Phoenix Proj- ect at the Phoenix Memorial Labora- tory on the North Campus or by call- ing 764-6213.

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.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ 1000 to 2000 WORDS A MINUTE' WITH FULL COMPREHENSION & RETENTION EASE PRESSURE - SAVE TIME - IMPROVE CONCENTRATION IN I I 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.
