Page Eight I HE MICHIGAN DAILY I hursdoy, September 6, 1973 Page Eight HE MICHIGAN DAILY 4tJ By DIANE LEVICK 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. air delights thousands . 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. :; { Daily Photo b TERRY McCARTHY THE ARTISTS OF TOMORROW flaunt their talent -with a little guidance from supervisors-at the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair.

By ERIC SCHOCH 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. r One of the most sensible things, of course, is to buy only used TN.;< OLYMPIA SM-9 The World's Highest Consumer-Rated Portable- Fully-Porlable with allfullsizelealures! ~139x.50 ---- 1 year full warranty OLYMPIA SM-B-Same High Quality Workmanship; $119.50 OFF CE SUPPLY HOUSE READ and USE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS ; For the nicest choice' of fine chinas, crystals, stainless steel and silver you will enjoy shopping r'; I t l,- _ at t 9(1'
