We see a sour faced man counting stacks of money, greedily drooling over the smell of U.S. Government nrinting. One is reminded of Scrooge in the "Christmas Carol." The man is Marion Dancer, director of a campus bookstore and junk shop at a small Southern University. Two men enter: Douglas Spit sherald, director of Auxiliary Services at the school, and Harried Blunton, vice-president for business affairs. "Well, that's $97,576.19 for today," croaks Dancer. "That's a profit of $84,336.07-and just on books." "Good. Good," says Spitsherald. "Shali we divide it now or put it into a good Investment--like ARA Slater." trest ii Yes, they are correct in ex pressing that the campuses havy been unusually quiet during thi last six months.

"What do we want more of it for? We agreed that we wouldn't go for 51 per cent until next month." "Yeah, but you know those snotty kids--they don't like the bookstore, they don't like Slater, they don't like anything about this school. I think it's a communist plot." "Yeah. Gotta be," replies Blunton, his bowtie atwitter. "As long as we keep the students off our backs, and keep that angel-faced guy in cigars, we can still run this school the way we want." "Hey. How about we invest in this school? Like, we could build a club for high-ranking ad ministration officials. We just need to re-do that Russell House. Kick those hippies out and we got It made."

"Which reminds me," interjects Blunton. "How much do we pay people around here?" "Let's see--base rate is 50 cents an hour. Of course they have to buy their own typing paper and such. That's for professors and everybody. Now, we pay the athletic director about $30,000 a year--over the table, that is. I don't know how much Pretzel makes on the take. Yeah, and athletes get about $400 a month, plus tuition and fees, room and board." "We have to cut some of that. Cut back all the professors' pay to 37 cents, and make them rent out their office space." "Good, Good," agrees Dancer. "Now, about the campus shop. I figure we sell our $12.00 books for $25.18. And order only half of what we need." SIec Kick. p. 7 Col. 5 CRAFTS JOYFUL ALTERNATIVE nce Sale ostumes price and less values to 30.00 - grab bags $4." no returns - no layaways
