During finals week, of fall term, freshman Dave
Berchtold was studying for a History of Western Civ
ilization final being given the next day. By the light
ol his desk lamp, he pored over his notes.
Then, Berchtold spied his syllabus and groaned as
he realized all the dates, places and people ho had to
know for the exam. He instinctively began to reach
for the pack of Marlboro Lights on his desk. But he
forced himself to pull awuy.
For three or four minutes. Berchtold fought an
addictive tug-of-war He wanted a cigarette to help
him relax, but he was trying to quit Finally, he put
the pack in his desk drawer and slammed it shut He
opened his history book and began to read.
Brenda Nibtock of the American Lung Association
said it may be harder for college-age smokers like
Berchtold to stop smoking. Young people don't have
a lot of motivation to quit because they're probably
not yet experiencing any health problems related to

more careful." Chereok said, "When you
have to buy them, if you want five or sis
books, you'll have to pay for them.
“How it is now, students come in and
usk for four for themselves and their
roommates,” he said. "Then their room
mates come in without their knowing and
pick up four more books. They end up
with lfi books between them."
Chereck said the registrar's office,
which pays the printing costs, has been
ordering enough hooks for every student
to hove two. After ordering 25.000 books
last year, the office hud to order 5,000
more at the end of the summer because
they were running out.
Because it costs $7,000 to $8,000 to
print 30,000 si hedule books. C.herei k
