Used books fall into several categories, each of which-because of the law of supply and demand-has its own price tag. Let's explore these various categories for your guidance. CLASS CLOTHBOUND , d > ; ! 4 1.a , ,, I i . , .... ? A textbook of current copyright-used on our campus-and which the Teaching Department involved has approved for re-use in upcoming' semesters-has the highest market value. If ULRICH'S needs copies of this book we will offer a minimum of 50% off the list price for copies in good physical condition. When we have sufficient stock of a title for the coming semester, URLICH'S will offer a "WHOLESALE PRICE" which will be explained later in this article. (THIS IS ONE REASON FOR SELLING ALL YOUR USED BOOKS as soon as you are finished ' with them!) SCL ASS I PA PE RBOUND f _ Paperback are classified in two groups: A. Text paperbacks; B. Trade 'Paperbacks. A. Text Paperbacks will be purchased from you as Class I books above. B. Trade Paperbacks would draw an approximate offer of 25% of the- list price when in excellent condition. CL ASS IL. Some of the above Class I or Class II books will be offered which haveM torn bindings, loose pages, large amounts of highlighting and under- lining, or other physical defects. These will be priced down according to the estimated cost of repair or saleability. Each semester various professors decide to change text for a given course. These decisons on change of textbooks are made in echelons -of THINKING AND AUTHORITY far above the level of your local book retailers, AND ULRICH'S HAS NO PART IN THE DECISION. (Quite often we have MANY copies of the old title which you have only ONE.) :However ULRICH'S does enter the picture by having connections with other bookstores throughout the country. We advertise these discontinued books and sell many of them at schools -where they are still being used. ULRICH'S does this as a service to you and pays you the best possible "WHOLESALE PRICE" when you sell them to us with your currently used books. 1CL~ A SSv m Authors and publishers frequently bring out new editions. When we "get caught" with an old edition, let's accept the fact that it has no value on the wholesale market, and put it on the shelf as a reference book. You will find that you come out best in the long run when you sell ALL your books to ULRICH'S. Woman convicted of abusing grandkids ALEXANDRIA, Minn. (AP)- A grandmother accused of playing a sexual version of spin-the-bottle with her family has been convicted of sexually abusing her grandchildren and faces up to 25 years in prison. Alice Cermak, 52, is the sixth adult in her family to admit or be convicted of abusing the children, and the prosecutor says she hopes the latest conviction shows that children can be believed as witnesses, just like adults. "ANY TIME abused children can tell their story and people believe them, it helps that child and other abused children," said Scott County Attorney Kathleen Morris. Cermak, who ran a bar and grill in Lonsdale, was accused of having sex with five grandchildren who ranged in age from 3 to 10 at the time. She was found guilty Friday of 13 counts of sexual abuse. The convictions were on four counts of first-degree sexual abuse, meaning penetration was involved, and nine counts of second-degree sexual abuse. THE DOUGLAS County District Court jury found her innocent on five counts of first-degree sexual abuse in- volving children who did not testify. The two oldest children, girls aged 11 and 9, testified against Cermak, but Morris decided against putting the younger children on the witness stand "because it was in their best interests." Mrs. Cermak's attorney, Paul Engh, said he will appeal. He said Cermak did not abuse the children, and tried over a period of years to get psychological treatment for one of her sons. Cermak's two sons involved in the sexual abuse cases have a total of seven children, including the five who allegedly were abused. All seven were taken away from their parents and placed in foster homes in the summer of 1981. The charges dealt with two specific instances - one in June 1981 and another a month alter - when family members allegedly played "the game," in which a bottle was spun in a sexual version of the children's kissing game. The prosecution maintained the game was a regular ritual with the Cermaks. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Pressinternational reports Social Security system to 'crash,' former official says WASHINGTON- Former Commerce Secretary Peter Peterson says the Social Security system "is heading for a crash" that could pull down the nation's economy unless immediate steps are taken to slow the growth of benefits. In an article criticizing the pension system's practices, Peterson says it "is an arithmetic impossibility" to bring federal deficits under control without fundamental changes in Social Security. Peterson's indictment of the system and his ideas for reforming it appear in the Dec. 2 and Dec. 16 issues of the New York Review of Books. Peterson is chairman of the board of the New York investment banking firm of Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb Inc. In the article, Peterson called for a one-year freeze on cost-of-living in- creases, limited increases in the future and a tax on all benefits in excess of the amounts retirees paid into the system. The retirement fund faces a possible shortfall of $150 billion to $200 billion between now and 1990. Jet makes emergency landing BRASILIA, Brazil- A jet carrying more than 40 U.S. TV journalists home from covering President Reagan's visit clipped an airport tower on takeoff yesterday, mangling its landing gear, then made a belly landing on the run- way in a cloud of dust after circling and dumping fuel. The 47 passengers and 11 crew members slid down inflated emergency chutes and only a few suffered minor injuries, said U.S. Embassy duty of- ficer Peggy Jones. In New York, a spokesman for CBS News, which chartered the jet through Global International Airways, said there were 44 passengers on the plane. He said one person had a "bruised elbow" and the others were being examined by doctors here. The CBS spokesman said the Boeing 707 had been chartered by CBS to bring home employees of his network, NBC, ABC and Cable Network News, who had been covering the presidential visit to Brazil that ended Thursday. *4 Women demand information on men missing in Lebanon BEIRUT, Lebanon- More than 500 Lebanese and Palestinian women, many of them weeping and holding photographs of missing relatives, rallied at an Islamic center yesterday to launch a campaign for information on missing husbands, sons and brothers. "Oh God, do not let us come back empty-handed," a woman in her mid-30s said, raising her hands in prayer as she entered the center in the low-income neighborhood of Aisha Bakkar. The women gathered after a volunteer committee at the center spent four days registering the names of 1,324 mission people, mostly men who disap- peared during or shortly after the September massacres in the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps. Committee members said the women plan a demonstration Monday out- side the Lebanese Parliament, and will continue their protests until they get information on their missing relatives. The women said that according to the mimeographed forms filled out by relatives, most of the men were last seen in the custody of Christian militiamen, Lebanese soldiers or Israeli soldiers. Egyptian extremists go on trial CAIRO, Egypt- Chanting "God is great" along with anti-American slogans, 300 Moslem extremists yesterday went on trial for conspiring to overthrow the Egyptian government and replace it with an Iranian-style Islamic state. The defendants, ushered into court in group's and locked behind cage-like docks, repeatedly disrupted court proceedings with anti-Jewish and anti- American slogans and claims they had been tortured in jail. One man stripped off his shirt to show signs of torture on his back and another ripped off a skull cap to show head wounds. Others charged they had been subjected to electrical shocks and sexual abuse. Some called on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to "repent." Holding copies of the Koran, the Moslem holy book, the mob of defendants sat in docks divided into 12 compartments for the first day of the trial. Hearings were to resume Monday. U.S. official caught smuggling NEW DELHI, India - A U.S. official was sent home yesterday after In- dian customs inspectors reportedly caught him with $240,000 worth of con- traband in his suitcases and as much as $2.1 million more in his home. The U.S. Embassy and the Indian government said Leon Wight, 53, of Springfield, Va., was under investigation for allegedly smuggling con- traband into India:, but refused to say what the results of the investigation were. yr Wight, a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Foreign Service, was sent to India two years ago as comptroller of the Agency for International Development. The Indian Express newspaper said that Wight's passport showed he made six brief trips to Hong Kong in recent months. When he returned from one of those trips Nov. 3, the paper said, customs agents found about $240,000 worth of undeclared watches, watch parts, elec- tronic circuits and costly pharmaceuticals in his baggage.
