Euphradian Gets Canteen Report; Endorses Move Euphradian Literary Society passed a resolution backing Stu dent Council in their request that the University be moved to a more favorable location at its Tuesday meetingK. It ls herU rpr from a committee appointed to in vestigate the University Stores in general and the canteen in par ticular. The committee found that "the manager of the University Stores will not make an official statement as to where the profits of the Uni 'versity Stores go; but that'UlPem officially suspects that very little of these profits go to the Athletic Association." It stated that the canteen, laun dry and book store are run for the benefit of all, but that this benefit is mostly "one of convenience." The canteen is run in competition to make a profit which is obtained by a mark-up of from 20 to 33 per cent, the report said. The cantcen does not have the purchasing power or volume of business of chain stores, doesn't re ceive the same discounts, in some instances, that are given other in ,dependent stores and thus must charge higher prices, according to the report. It was further stated that im provements made by the canteen were paid for from canteen pro fits, that the book store has to ab sorb losses due to the "inaccuracy of professors' estimates as to the number of books he will use dur ing the year" and that the profit now tied up in G.I. accounts will be received when that enrollment lessens. The resolution to back Council was passed after an hour long de bate during which many interest ing arguments were presented. Several members were recorded as opposed to the resolution.

They took ollowing little discussion, Jim proposed the resolution: "The Student Council resolves that the site of the University of South Carolina be moved to an other location and that the admin istration and Board of Trustees consider this proposal before any permanent construction is done on the resent campus." It was amended that "members of Stu dent Council will strive to pre sent this matter to the adminis tration and the public." The stand taken by Council has already been endorsed by Euphra dian Literary Society, Blue Key Honor Fraternity and Interfrater nity Council. Other organizations are reportedly backing the move. Report on Cooperatives Carroll Gilliam, member of the Committee on Cooperatives, read a report which said that coopera tives (laundry, canteen, book store and depository) as such, do not exist on the campus and are now known as the University Stores. They are operated as a separate branch of the university under the Board of Trustees. The report further disclosed that "the book. of ihese activities are audited by the State of South Carolina and that all profits are deposited with the Treasurer of th. university and are allocated elsewhere by the Board of Trus tees. 'he profits of the University Stores have been relatively small in the past three years because of large amounts of money still to be paid by the veterans' adminis tration and these profits have been expended for the most part by the Board of Trustees to purchase uniforms for the university band and to the athletic association. However. if and when the amounts now due t he stores by the vet - erans' administration are paid a h,ger profit will be shown." According to the manager, F. B. ItawI. the prices of the stores are determined by the cost of over head and "are not higher than those chbarged in other businesses of this type." The committee received permis sion to c'arry the matter to the Boa&rdl of Trustees. Point System A proiposed point system for women that would limit the num her of activities and organizations in wvhich they could participate each semester was introduced by Harriet IUivkin and Carolyn Mc Cullough, representatives of Alpha Kappa (Gamma and Co-ed Asso ciation which drew up the pro posal. Council moved to postpone ac tion on the proposal until such time that the committee could consider Council's recommenda tions to raise the number of points both in individual and group brackets.
