A recentusurvey shows the aver age bookstore -cannot buy more second-hand books because teach ers sometimes require a change of text without having exercised enough care to see that a change in the textbook is really necessary. "Publishers have a racket. If they are going to have a new printing they get the authors to change one line so that the old edi tion cannot be used," Fuller stated. U.S.C. Story "All bookstores must conform with the list price provided orn the publisher's invoice," stated Susan Willingham, assistant manager of the bookstore here. However, the profit percentage was low, she said. As to the use of second-hand books being minimized because of minor text changes, Miss Willing hanm said the professors here do not require textbook changes un less the text is changed consider ably. She attributed the univer sity's bookstore low demand for second-hand books to veterans de manding new books.

McCARTHA Dean Robert L. Sumwalt, head of the School of Engineering was recently appointed to the Advisory Board of the National Bureau of Engineering Registration, Arthur B. Bronwell, secretary of the American Society of Engineering Education has announced. The Advisory Board consists of eight representatives from nation al engineering societies. Sumwalt represents the American Society for Engineering Education. On the Advisory board, he will work with the National Bureau of Engineer ing Registration. Becau%e engineering registration laws differ in the various states, the national bureau undertakes to render a service to registered en gineers faced with interstate regis tration and to the State Board of Engineering Examiners by check ing educational and professional records and to certify this infor mation to other boards. It attempts to facilitate the work of the state boards and to make interstate reg istration easier for the'applicant. The Registration Bureau does not legally register anyone, but is a fact-finding and certifying agency. It acts as a clearing house for state registration authorities and as a reliable source of verified information regarding the profes sional records of engineers. Engineers applying for registra tion in another state usually find that their applications are greatly exl)edited when they have been certified by the National Bureau and endorsed by their state boards. Physics Offices Get Labor-Saving Intercom System An intercommunication system is now being installed in the uni versity physics department, Albert L. Ragsdale, physics instructor, an nounced. "Mviuch time and effort will be saved with this arrangement. At present we have only three speaker units, but we have direct contact between the professors' offices." Although there are only two units connected with the main con trol, there is still room for expan sion. Outlets are provided for three additional ones if they are needed, Ragsdale said. One of the speakers will be lo cated in a third floor classroom. It will be hooked up with the others on the first floor and will elim inate much needless walking, and wasted time.
