Writers to invade By THOMAS MILLER Not exactly live from Ann Arbor, it's Michigan Video Writers. While Saturday Night Live may not have anything to worry about yet, a group of former University students have big plans for making video productions in Ann Arbor. With four writers and one video technician on staff, Michigan Video Writers is planning to produce original videos for Michigan audiences. "THE COMPANY has two major goals: to produce video films and to make them relevant to Michigan viewers," said Jennifer Shikes, a writer for the com- pany. "We are unique in the sense that we want to produce shows for and about Michigan." Although the company is relatively new, it is already at work on its first film. The 30-minute show will focus on unemployment in Michigan and is ten- tatively set in Adrian, according to BI another writer for the company. The members of the group, all empl at other jobs, are looking for actors a Shikes said. "There are many diverse she said.

"We hve no plans at all right now because nobody has contacted us," said James Selby of Greyhound bus services in Detroit. The fate of Ann Arbor's downtown depot, if the Huron complex Correction James Smith, project manager of Huron Plaza, was incorrectly identified in a photograph in Tuesday's Daily as Richard Berger, a local developer also involved in the project. In a photograph in yesterday's Daily, Business School Dean Gilbert Whitaker was identified as AT&T Chairman Charles Brown and Whitaker was con- sequently identified as Brown. 764-0558 764-0558 were approved, is unknown, he said. Berger's company now owns the op- tions to buy Joe's Star Lounge and the bus depot at a later date, at a price that has already been determined. As for the other properties, Berger may have a long way to go. The old county jail, for instance, will be open for bids from anyone interested in it, according to David Hunscher, Washtenaw County Administrator. BOB ROMSKA, vice president of Ann Arbor's downtown branch of Michigan National Bank, said that although the bank has not been notified of any possible sale of its building, the owners of the property-Freida and Paul Volz-may have been contacted. The bank "wants to stay downtown," Romska said, and it is possible the developers may approach it to lease space in the new building. Berger is no stranger to controversy. In 1978 he was working on a similar development on the Huron River, but that project fell through because "the neighborhood wanted to retain the property as open space," Berger said.

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. CLASSfI. CLOTHBOUND 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!) CLASS II. PAPERBOUND 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 250/ of the list price when in excellent condition. CLASS III. Some of the above Class I or Class II books will be offered which have 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. CLASS IV. Each semester various professors decide to change text for a given .. V iT .. _f/... Ill ,, iii' tl J / 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. CLASS V. 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. * Fri. & Sat. ONLY - BOTH LOCATIONS * WHERE HOUSE RECORDS vcn[ i ICLCAI CTC TICKET OUTLET
