Luis Marks Sports Editor,David Nalven News Assistants Marilynn Jacobson, Dwinneth Timmis; Jane Wolbarst Friday, September 14, 19445 Book Business One of the growing underground mumblings Of the student body has been the demand for a cooperative college book exchange. After several semesters of talking about it,,All-College Cabinet appointed a committee at the beginning of the semester to advance plans for such an exchange. After two months of investigations, the com mittee has reported the arising of the following difficulties: lack .of financial support from the College, lack of student labor, lack of a method to set prices, and inability to set wages because of the uncertainty of profits. If the first problem could be solved, it seems evident that the others 'would work out them selves. All-College Cabinet brought pressure to achieve the renewal of Dry Dock after strong demands from the students and if it expresses similar demands, College support for a book ex change might be received. Once the store is underwritten, temporary prices and wages can be set up until profits are determined. As soon as the exchange is securely established, perman ent 'wages can be announced and student labor demands will in all probability be answered abundantly. The esta+blish • ment of a cooperative exchange would provide the students with an economical and convenient book store as well as a student enterprise. It has been one of the things you as a group have desired. Now that Cabinet and the Committee are doing their best, the students are asked to help resolve the problems. Any suggestions to aid in an early establishment -of the exchange should be left at Student Union. Coeds or Veterans? Since the Army has released some more of the fraternity houses, the College has been tempting alumni and brothers with generous offers of money for rent. The administration wants to lease these fraternities so that they will be able to house more freshman women. Everyone is aware of the serious problem that the College faces in trying to house students. Co ed's dormitories are booked full, with upperclass men, forcing freshmen and transfers to live "off campus." It is not hard to see why the College is so anxious to obtain the use of the fraternity houses, but is it fair? When the draft came along and emptied the fraternities the College in many cases undoubt edly saved them from bankruptcy. At that time the brothers were glad to surrender their houses: But now it is a different story. More ex-Gls and freshman men will be enter ing the College next semester. If fraternities are to play the part in college life that they did be fore Pearl Harbor, they cannot afford to idle away two more semesters. By taking possession of their houses now, fra ternities can fill their houses with these men and help to alleviate the trouble that veterans—even unmarried ones—are having in locating rooms.

Maybe it was just a means of torturing the class that Whitmore devised when he hurried in nine minutes after class was supposed to begin and flippantly announced a bluebook for the following class meeting. Gloom spread over the students like syrup over pancakes for the remainder of the period. But just as the students were escaping from the nearest exits the silver lining came through. The Dean had changed his mind. No blue book next week.

So e you think it's glamorous and exciting, with something happening every minute? Well, you're wrong. Working on a paper can become just as routine as filing or doing secre tarial work or washing dishes three times a day. If you don't believe, here's proof. The first issue of Collegian each semester is a freshman issue. It contains greetings to new stu dents from the President of the College and the deans of men and women. It also contains fea tures of campus activities—innumerable features that the Collegian staff hopes will help to orien tate freshmen so that they won't feel too much like foreigners when they hear upperclassmen talk glibly about Players, hat societies, WRA, or what have you. That frosh issue is the only one that's really stock, but after that's out there are .stock stories that the staff can always depend on. There are the Players' shows that rate a story almost every week of the semester, and believe me, the writer has plenty of trouble thinking up new angles to write them on so that the readers won't get bored. Then there's the IFC dance sometime during the semester that rates three or four weeks 'of publicity. There are also all the other dances sponsored by all .the other activities--ISC, WRA's sweetheart dance, Panhel. About three weeks after the semester begins, fraternities hand their pledge lists in, and .they always .get a couple columns on front page. After the lists are printed, some of the fraits will call in to tell the staff that.their members weren't in, and would they please make an. addition? The sorority pledges also 'rate a news article; though they are all usually taken . care of in the first story. On page two of each week's paper, appears a chapel story and a placement story, both under the standard heads of Chapel and Placement. When the staff tries to change the heads, readers begin to complain that they don't- know where to look for the stories. Page four is the women's page, where all the., news that's of nrimiry interest to the coeds: On. campus is printed. Page six' is the sports, page; and page eight is the editorial page. All three of them are the pages that readers can skip if they're not interested in special types of storiesi But the staff goes under the illusion that every' student on campus faithfully• reads the paper • 'from front to back, never missing. a line. So now you know. There are as•many rules and regulations in putting out a paper es • there•are in anything else. But somehow, it's still more fun to do than anything else.
