In the midst of Ann Arbor''s
summer doldrums, the 14th an-
nual Street Art Fair brought the
city four days of fascinating ex-
hibits, entertainment, and over
60,000 onlookers from all over the
country.
Held July 18-21 on S. Univer-
sity Ave., the fair featured the
work of 250 artists and crafts-
persons from 30 states and Can-
ada.

All work, from glass blowing,
woodcarving, and weaving to
enameling, painting, and weld-
ing was juried. In other words,
artists were accepted into the fair
by a committee of at least eight
persons competent to evaluate
one or more artistic medium.
Because the jury method ex-
cluded so many artists from par-
ticipating in the Street Art Fair,
the newly formed University of
Michigan Artists and Craftsmen
Guild sponsored the third annual
Free Art Fair.
The Free Fair, set upon E.
University adjacent to the "of-
ficial" fair, gave 320 student and
community amateur artists the
chance to display and sell their
wares.
The Free Fair in cooperation
with the Street Art Fair present-
ed a wide range of entertainment
from drama to belly dancing.
The University Players and the
Ann Arbor Civic Theatre per-
formed selections from their re-
cent productions,, while bagpipe
players and groups like the well-
known RFD Boys provided rous-
ing music.
Rock bands played on People's
Plaza next to the Administration
Bldg.; free films were shown
on the Diag; and the Union
Gallery in the Michigan Union
offered poetry readings.
Other talented groups indulged
in the old art of "busking" -
singing on the streets for money.
With so many people in town, the
buskers must have made a tidy
bundle by playing fiddle, guitar,
and various other instruments
which are suited for a loud, out-
door -sound.
Adding to the bazaar-type at-
mosphere, a special food area on
the plaza of the Physics and As-
tronomy Bldg. served a variety
of exotic foods.
And for the kiddies, a chil-
dren's participation area run by
The Child Care Action Center
and Contree Cooperative allow-
ed youngsters to creatively ex-
press themselves with painting
and play-dough.
On the technical side of con-
structing the Street Art Fair, S.
University merchants donated
their time to set up the booths
and keep vigil over the fair, en-
suring that all ran well.
In addition to the S. Univer-
sity Businessmen's Association,
the fair was also sponsored by
the Ann Arbor Art Association,
the Chamber of Commerce, and
the University.
Theassociationtbetween the
merchants and the artists has
stuck through the years, offering
a rare example of symbiosis be-
tween the two, with both profit-
ing and neither pushing the other
around.
Businesses provide between a
third and a half of the fair's op-
erating budget. (The fees that
the artists pay provide most of
the rest with the Ann Arbor Art
Fair Association also giving an
annual contribution) and organiz-
ing set-up of the fair and pub-
l ic ity.
The fair attracts business for
the sales that move summer
stock and provides a distraction
from the normal, rather slow
summer routine.

After ,those first few days of
classes you may find that your
professors have given you a re-
quired re'ading list of books that
is longer than your arm.
Unfortunately, if you think the
list is rather large, waitbuntil
you see the cost of those books.
Depending on- the number and
the type of courses you are tak-
ing, the total' bill may run any-
where from $40 to $75 or even:
more.
Unfortunately, there may not
be much you can do to cut these
costs, but the are some steps
worth trying.
The first thing to do, of course,
is to shop around, if you can
stand the hassle, especially for
the more expensive hard cover
texts. Prices at the various
bookstores are generally the
same, but individual prices on
books may vary.
tAMROO
books whenever possible. In gen-
eral, the used books offered are
in reasonable shape, and you
can find one that suits your
taste. You can also take advan-
tage of the previous owner s
underlining as well, although
that might prove disastrous if the
previous owner underlined all
the wrong things.
Another alternative is to find
people who have taken your
course previously and who might
be willing to part with their
treasured.text for the semester or
at least sell it to you for an
unusually reasonable price.
In some courses, especially
those with longer reading lists,
it may not be necessary to buy
some or all of the required
books. Many professors put same
or all of the course books on re-
serve in the library, and you can
do- your reading for the price o
a walk to the UGLI. This method
has its hazards, however, if you
tend to procrastinate until the
last few days before the test to
do your reading. You may find
that everyone else in the course
has done the same thing, and the
books you need have already
been checked out.
But let's say you bought all
those books' at the beginning of
Yesterday's breezy, confident fashions for today's
easy style. Everything for men and women from
shirts, pants, hats and shoes to hand - engraved
belts and sterling finger rings .. .
the term, and now you have
eight American Lit. books, five
political science books, a thick
chemistry text and an 18-pound
biochemistry text and have now
decided to junk it all to major
in philosophy. Sc' you want to
sell all those books back.
Well, the first thing you will
find is that you aren't going to
get back near what you paid for
them. No matter where you go.
But again the thing to do is
shop around. In a process simi-
lar to finding a place to fix that
dent in your car, go to the var-
ious bookstores and get esti-
mates, if you can. Then sell
where you can get the best deal.
.If one bookstore will not buy
some of your books at any price,
don't grieve, go to another place
and they may. A quarter is bet-
ter than nothing, if you really
want to get rid of that paper-
back.
Someday, however, you may
find that expensive text you
bought is worth absoluntely noth-
ing at all to the local book-
stores because a new edition is
coming out next year. Well, in
that case you're stuck, unless
you can find a friend taking the
course next year who figures that
a few sentence and paragraph
changes in the new edition won't
make that much difference.
If you have no such luck, then
you'll have to console yourself
with the rationalization that it
might look impressive on the
bookshelf, right next to that pile
of Zap comics.

One of the most sensible things,
of course, is to buy only used
