More and more colleges are looking into
textbook buyback program instead of renting books from the
school bookstore.
Ask almost any college student what they
think of buying textbooks, and you will
surely be met with a
groan and an eye-roll.
It is no secret that
one of the more stressful parts of the beginning of the semester is
buying the load of
textbooks that professors require. While
textbooks
are
an
extremely important
instructional tool, it is
such a hardship for
students to have to
pay so much for them.
That is why many colleges have adopted a
textbook rental program.

Instead of having
students pay full price
for their books, they
have the option of buying the books, new or
used, and then returning them to the bookstore for a portion of
their money back. This
takes some of the sting
off ofthe price that college students have to
pay for books.
According to the
National Association
of College Stores, the
average price of a college textbook is $57.
Now, this may not
seem like much at
first. But say you need
a textbook for each of
classes.
your five
Multiply 57 by 5 and it
comes out to $285. And
this is just the average
price there are many

--

more expensive books
out there.
Textbook costs can
come out to be over
$400. Put that on top
of
tuition
and
room/board, and college students truly
have a lot on their
hands. By instituting
a textbook buyback
program or a book
rental program, students can save a little
bit of the money they
will need to spend on
other aspects of college
life.
Across the country,
many schools have
instituted some sort of
rental program for
textbooks. Many websites offer less expensive textbooks or deals
on books. The bookstore at LHU offers a
textbook buyback program at the end of
semester.
every
Students can bring
their used books to the
bookstore and get a
portion of their money
back.
Senior Kate Bobbie
thinks that the program is a good idea.
"It's convenient to get
rid of the books I know
I'll never use again,
and a lot easier than
selling them online.
That's just too much
work for me."
Many
students
that it is
agree
extremely convenient.
However, there are
some negative aspects
to a textbook buyback
program. Sophomore
Kathryn Shebeck said
that she feels that students often get "ripped
off because they do
not get a lot of money
back for the books.
Sometimes, though,
students often feel

that any little bit back
helps.
Sophomore Andrew
Brake also gave his
input about the textbook buyback program., "It helps to
keep the brunt of the
cost for books off of the
students. Whereas the
textbook publishing
monopoly
keeps
increasing the costs of
without
production
considering the economic situations the
students come from.
$600 or more for new
textbooks
every
semester is ridiculous," he said.
Brake also added,
"If the SCC's buyback
program can save a
student
anywhere
from $20 to $100,
that's money that can
go to other essential
things like school supplies."
Overall, the buyback program has
been mostly beneficial
to students. By using
this program, students
can gain back a little
bit of the money that
they spent on their

textbooks.
Many students do
take advantage of the
program, as evidenced
by the packed bookstore at the end of each
semester

shows.

Consider selling books
back to the book store
at the end of the semes-

ter. In many students'
opinions, it is much
easier than having to
worry about selling
them online, and you
do not have to go very
far to do it. With more
and more colleges taking advantage of programs like these, students' lives are being
made easiser.

We all have heard it,
"You can do anything if
you put your mind to
it." We all have the
potential to do great
things, but the question
is: are we willing to put
the work into it to fulfill that potential. This
past week had plenty of
events going on, one of
which was the National
Signing Day for college
football.
For those of you who
have never heard of
this, it's the day when
high school seniors officially decide where
they will play their college football at. For
months, college coaches
have visited, sent letters and made phone
calls trying to persuade
high school seniors that
they should attend
their university after
graduation.

that is spent on these
players would make

Can one state without a

Well, perhaps plastering flyers all over a
college campus isn't the
best method for advertising for a ministry or

that

Ke$ha's using her 'Animal' instincts
| Music Review |
gate. Then she hiked

Danielle Tepper
A&E Editor
dtepper@lhup.edu
Kesha Rose Sebert,
born March 1, 1987,
has been striving to
make a name for herself in music way
before she started
brushing her teeth
with a bottle of Jack.
Now known as the
stylized Ke$ha (pronounced KESH-ah),
this 22-year-old has
become
every
American party girl's
favorite new artist.
She began
her
career in 2005 by
working hard and
handing out demos,
but she didn't achieve
her first real breakthrough until 2009,
when her vocals were
featured in Flo-Rida's
smash
hit
"Right
Round."
Her own single,
"Tik Tok", hit radio
waves in August of
2009, and reached
number one in five
countries. It quickly
became the anthem for
young females associated with going out,
getting drunk, and
loving every minute. It
has had TV placements
Project
in
Runway promo spots,
Melrose Place and So
You Think You Can
Dance.
Her
album,
"Animal", debuted at
number one in the
U.S. upon its Jan. 5,
2010 release.
The
singer/songwriter's
album was executive
produced by Dr. Luke
(Katy Perry, Britney
Spears,
Kelly
Clarkson, and Avril
Lavigne) and includes
collaborations
with
producers Max Martin
and Benny Blanco.
Ke$ha's
website
[http://www.keshasparty.com] boasts the
story of how she went
on an adventure to try
to persuade Prince to
produce
her
first
album: "She found out
his address and drove
to his Beverly Hills
home, where she paid
the gardener five dollars to let her squeeze
herself under his front

the
up
driveway
(which was lined in
purple velvet), let herself in through an
unlocked side door,
and rode the mirrored
elevator up to the
third floor where the
Purple One himself
was jamming with his
band. 'It was kind of
awkward,' she recalls,
'but who cares, right?
So I sat on one of the
purple thrones in the
room until he noticed
me, which he finally
did. He was like, 'How
the hell did you get in
here?'" she says with a
laugh. 'His security
kicked me out, but not
before I left him my
demo CD wrapped in a
giant purple bow.'"
Prince never contacted her, but the
experience says it all
about Ke$ha's determination to break into
the industry. "I've
always known I wanted to be a performer,"
she says. "There's a
video of me at age five,
naked and covered in
body paint, saying,
'I'm going to be a rock
star and there's no
way anyone is going to
stop me!' It's my call-

bring Ke$ha to performances in L.A., and
later encouraged her
daughter to
sing,
while also teaching
her how to write
songs. "One of my first
memories is my mom
telling me, 'If you
want something, just
take it,'" the singer
says.
The
family
(which also included
Ke$ha's
two older
brothers, Lagan and
Louis)
struggled
financially for years,
and had to resort to
welfare
and
food
stamps.
After they moved
back to Pebe's native
Nashville,
Ke$ha
spent a lot of time in
studios
recording
when
she
wasn't
attending classes in a
Tennessee countryside
music school.
Ke$ha quit high
school at 17 to return
to L.A. to pursue
music full-time. She
left behind the path
she had been on to
study psychology at
Columbia, a choice she
says was "crazy," but
obviously paid off.
That was when she
met Dr. Luke and got
