I t was an- nounced in the Spring of ' 85 ' a new major being offered. This major is in- tended to make better job oppor- tunities for MU Graduates. A BA program in Mass Comm. has been installed, with concentrations in Public Relations, Broadcasting, and Journalism. ijsnirandpappy Ijl ; shot off all MidJfive of his toes is a famous line from one of Gwenda Ledbet- ter ' s stories. With Ledbetter, Jackie Torrence and Utah Phillips performed Sept. 13-15, at the fourth Annual Storytelling Festival. Ledbetter is from Ashville, North Car- olina. Torrence is from Highpoint, North Carolina and Phillips is from Spo- kane, Washington. Along with telling stories other enter- tainment was in- cluded. Mountain tales, magical sto- ries, ballads, songs and humor were a among the differ- ent entertainment. pproximate- ly fifty Mans- field Uni- versity students participated in commencement exercises held in Straughn Audi- torium. The December 22, graduates heard guest speaker Dr. How- ard Kennedy, a psychology profes- sor at the commu- nity College of the Finger Lakes. Dr. Kennedy spoke of campus life at Mansfield University during the fifties when he received his first degree here. The invocation was delivered by Rev. Benjamin E. Nevin. Rev. Nevin ministered at the First Baptist Church of Mansfield. Degrees were presented to about 100 students by President Rod Kelchner. 20 percent mark up on books by Mansfield Universi- ty ' s campus book- store was ex- plained by a bookstore em- ployee. She said that some of the mark ups that are made by the bookstore are made by the publishers. Mark ups done by the bookstore are made according to the same scale used by the pub- lishers, according the employee. The major por- tion of the increase is from the high costs of labor and freight. The ship- ping charge for ten cartons of books was said to be v 100 some dollars. The mark up also allows for the costs of telephone calls and office supplies. The mark up poli- cy on used books is 25 percent. A book that costs $20 new will cost $15 used and would have been bought back for $10. ' ,! ' : ' c :
