TEXTBOOKS
From Page 1A
the battle against boosted book
prices.
Statistics senior lecturer Brenda
Gunderson, chair of the Textbook
Task Force; said she helps accom-
modate students who use older
textbook editions by giving them a
list of equivalent page numbers in
the newer editions. Gunderson said
shekeeps several copies ofthe text-
book on reserve in the library and
publishes her textbook list online
monthsbefore each term starts.
But some professors said cre-
ating a deadline for renting texts
could be prohibitive. English Prof.
William Worthen said deciding
which books to use for a class can
be a lengthy process. He said he
also often changes the syllabus at
the last minute after discovering
that certain books aren't available.
"You don't know they're not
in print until you order them," he
said.
Worthen, an author of several
drama writing books, said publish-
ers often resortcto publishing new or
updatededitions oftextbookstobol-
ster sales. As aresult, students can't
sell their usedbooks for as much.
Students said they were optimis-
tic about the University's efforts.
MSA President Mohammad
Dar, a member of the Textbook
Task Force, said uBook and the
early textbook lists will give stu-
dents more options.
He said the development of the
book exchange shows attentive-
ness to student concerns about
text book prices.
"Student voice was what pro-
pelled the conversation," he said.
LSA senior Hannah Smith sur-
veyed student interest in uBook and
submitted the information to the
Office of the Provost. Smith's group
found that most students were
excited about the potential to buy
and sell books locally - and, most
importantly, at cheaper prices.
"The general consensus," she
said, "is, 'Yeah, we're always get-
ting ripped off with textbook
resell.'"
Totenberg details Court's shift
TOTENBERG From Page1A_
To support this claim, she point-
ed toward the court's changing
position on abortion, which began
with a 7-2 decision upholding abor-
tion in Roe v. Wade to the recent
Gonzales v. Carhart case in which
the court ruled 5-4 against partial
birth abortion rights.
"Really only one thing changed
- the composition of the court,"
she said.
In the past 25 years, Toten-
berg said, some of the Court's
most historically liberal judges,
appointed by John F. Kennedy
and Lyndon B. Johnson, have
retired and been replaced by
more conservative nominees put
in power by Ronald Regan and
George H.W. Bush.
She said that trend contin-
ued in the George W. Bush
presidency, with the appoint-
ment of Samuel Alito to replace
O'Connor.
"We are seeing the flipside of the
(Earl) Warren court," Totenberg
said. "That's not to say justices are
not trying to strike down laws that
are unconstitutional. I'm just point-
ing outatrend."
Totenberg said the Court's cur-
rent abortion laws could make it
harder and more expensive for clin-
ics to operate.
"You don't need to reverse Roe
vs. Wade outright to have the same
effect," she said. "I suspect that is
the direction the Supreme Court is
headed."
After the lecture, doctoral stu-
dent Samantha Worzalla said she
attended the event because she's an
NPR fan.
"I just wanted to be more
informed," she said.
