"We've more than doubled our
inventory," said Jerry Maloney,
general manager of Barnes and

the Michigan Union. He said he has

employees than he had for last
the University Cellar's closing.
The University Cellar, he said,
had 30 to 40 percent of the
textbook market before its closing.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Baby Boom generation that seemed
to dominate the nation as children
and teen-agers now constitutes
nearly one-third of America's
population as it nears middle age,
the Census Bureau reported
yesterday.
"The 17.6 percent increase in the
25-44 age group makes it the
fastest growing age segment of the
population of the 1980s," the
bureau said.
The group comprised 73.8
million people as of July 1, 1985,
or 30.9 percent of the population,

to Nicaraguans. It is a true effort for
peace."
Residential college senior Tony
Mack joined other members in
outrage against the Reagan
administration. He also is
motivated by a personal sense of
responsibility. "We have inherited a
lot of positive things because we
have exploited other countries. We
also have inherited guilt with it,"
he said.
Though some members know
the Spanish language, they expect
most of their training to come from
experience. Claudia Green, a
University graduate, studied and
worked in Nicaragua for four
months in 1985. "There is so much
you learn," she said. "You will
never be quiet again about the
policies of the U.S. It is a concrete
way to learn about Nicaragua. "
AMISTAD has raised $28,000
from Ann Arbor residents since
being founded in October of 1985.
The money will be used to buy
tools for construction.
