Book Store ir
(Continued
Conipetitors' Prices
"We feel that the miscellaneous
merchandise in the shop tends tc
be higher than Columbia competi
tors, because of the shop's lack
of volume. Other stores are, ol
course, in a position to order mue1
larger quantities of supplies thar1
the book store.
"For example, it was reported
by one member of the committe(
that R. L. Bryan Co. retailed B
specific pencil for 4c and that th(
very same pencil sold at the Cam
puis Shop for gc. I don't feel thal
the shop elevated prices purposely
but that Bryan's can afford to sell
them cheaper due to ordering ir
such large quantities.
"I would estimate that due t(
firyan's sales, storage space, and
capitol, they can afford to order a
dozen times as many pencils, foi
example. than the book store. It'
like comparing a super market t(
a local grocery store.
Faculty . Cooperation
"The committee found that tht
faculty does not cooperate with th(
Campus Shop in ordering text
books. They very- often over-ordei
the number of textbooks that the3
expect to use in-order to be sur<
o'f having a sufficient supply oi
hand. Some students buy used book
which increases the over-ordei
often leaving a large excess.
"The cost of sending unneede
books back to the publishers i
high. Then too, professors chang
the titles of the books they us
very often, sometimes when _it i
unnecessary. This again increase
e'xpenses by requiring that thi
old hooks he sent back and als
creates an expense to students b
prevently from buying or sellin
used books.
"When Admiral Smith was preo
idlent of the University, professoi
had to prove to the administratic
that a new book wvas better tha
the 01(1 one before they coul
change titles.
C:ashinig Checks
"The adlministration seems
dlefinitely be against cashir
checks in the Campus Shop. Hos
ever*, I p)ersonally feel that eve
though it might entail some har<
ship, it should be done. Often
student has to go to a competiti
of the book store to cash his checki
for example The Cornell Arms.
"In the University depository
studlent cannot cash more than $1
in checks a month. Then too, tl
dlepository hours are very unsui
able. I think that it is imprael
cal for a student to have to lea,

Number of Customers
"The number of customers pa
tronizing the Campus Shop is dis.
turbingly small now. I feel that il
the store would perform more serv.
ices for .the students, such as cash
ing their checks, it would brin$
in almost 10 times as many cus
tomers. With more customers
greater volume of supplies could bi
ordered and lower pricei would re

"The administration has beet
very cooperative with the commit
tee thus far," Pendarvis added
"and I certainly hope that it wil
take satisfactory action on our re
port."
Patterson Commntias
Commenting on the committee'
recommendations, W. H. Patterson
dean of administration, said tha
the administration would agree t,
publishing the retail book price.
Ile said that he viewed the com
mittee's used book plan favorabl:
but that he would have to discus
it with M. W. Danziler, manager o
the Campus Shop, to see if it i
feasible.
President Sumwalt must decid
on administrative approval of texi
book changes.
The administration will conside
publishing the profits of the shol
he said. They would he publishe
on a yearly basis, however, sinc
a the shop does not operate on
e semester basis.
e No Checks Cashed

s in the .shop, he emphasized.
e "We are going to make ever

Meteorology
Course Here
This Spring
The weather-generally accepted
as the world's one conversational
topic-will have University stu
(lents 1 o o k i n g skyward in the
spring semester as the Depart
ment of Geology and Geography
again offers a course in meteoro
logy.
Prof. G. It. Graham, who teaches
the course, said meteorology is a
favorite subject of many students
majoring in non-scientific fields
but who must meet physical sci
ence requirements. This is partic
ularly true in the case of journa
lism students, he said.
The study of the weather and its
causes h a s unusual carry-over
value, enabling the stuilent to en
joy throughout his lifetime the
learned ability to interpret the
clouds-"the signposts of the sky"
-and to observe a n d evaluate
o t h e r weather-causing factors,
Prof. Graham said.
"Students' interest in meteoro
logy is stimulated by the fact
that we all live at the bottom ol
a 'sea' composed of air and water
v apor," Prof. Graham said. "Ar
educated person should have ar
understanding of the circumstan
ces undler wvhich weather phenom
ena are produced."
Tornadoes, hurricanes and ty
p)hoons which cause heavy damag4
and sometimes loss of life arn
studied in meteorology, as well as
the use of airplanes, radar an<
television in increasing u n d e r
standing of these violent storms
thereby redlucing losses from them
