The exchange program, in its second year, offers students opportunities to sell their used books at prices they set themselves. ' About 75 books have been exchanged so far this fall, and Student Government President John Boswell is still enthusiastic. "If we can sell just this many and save students even $500, that's pretty good for the first time-we've done it (the program) this (new) way," Boswell said. Last year, the program was informational. Students interested in selling books for hieher nrnfits listed hr??ir 9 M titles, their names and phone numbers on index cards. The cards were filed for reference by prospective buyers. Kevin Schunke, chairman of the exchange last year, said last year's exchange was a "fantastic success."

He said if more students got involved, "a serious dent" could be made in the price of textbooks. Most of the books sold are ones used by many students, such as hiisinpcc ari. ministration, English and history texts. Boswell said the program is basically geared for any student concerned with the increasing expense of textbooks. People who participate are encouraged to set the price for their books between the actual cost of the book and the refund price given by the hnnlfetnro The usual outlets for textbook purchase on campus are the University Bookstore and South Carolina Bookstore. Neither seems to have been affected by the Book Exchange program.

It looks as if our sales are about as good as last year." student Government plans to continue the program next year.
