In the spring of 1946. the All-Student Council pe titioned the Kansas State Board of Regents to put in a book store. Realizing the criticism which would be heaped on their heads by some of the state’s staunch conservatives, the Kansas regents weren’t too eager to approve the book store. However. Andrew F. Schoeppel. state governor, who was serving his last eligible term, approved the measure. The store’s sales are carefully restricted to textbooks and class room supplies, which sell only at publishers’ and manufacturers’ prices. Capital was derived from the Memorial Union Corporation, the Student Activities Fund, and the Women’s Executive Council Book Exchange. Situated in SU Building Located on the lowest ground floor level of the Memorial Union building, the Student Union book .store tabulates 2.000 students passing through the doors each day. Part of the success is its cor.veirent loeaUun, but an even more viial factor is the excellent service that the book store ren ders to students and faculty of the university.
