10,000 Studenfs Buy Texts
At U. of K. Co-op Book Store
The Student Union Book Store,
located in the Student Union
Building cm Mount Oread at the
University of Kansas, in Law
rence, Kansas, is supplying books
at a 15 per cent refund to 10,000
students.
Located on the ground floor* of
the Memorial Union building, the
Student Unin Book Store op
erates as a branch of the Univer
sity of Kansas Memorial Corpora
tion, which is administered by
the union operating committee.
This corporation also operates
a cafeteria, soda fountain, and the
five story Student Union build
ing.
The store, selling items from
one cent maps to $455 micro
scopes, is the largest retail book
store in the state of Kansas. This
is unusual in view of the fact
duct it does not handle notions
and novelties, stationery, texts,
other than those used ~ tjje Uni
versity, or a complete line of
periodicals. The manager esti
mates that a traffic of 2,000 stu
dents a day pass through it,
due in part to location in the
student Union building.
Daring the first four months of
operation, all earnings fivere
mated back into the business, but
ash register slips have since car
led the IS per cent refund. These
ips one transferrable and re-
Jrmstip tor five years. Since

the usual gross, mark-up on books
is 20 per cent, 'a refund of 15 per
cent on purchases is remarkable.
The Co-op enterprise pays for
its own rent, heat, water and up
keep, as regular commercial
businesses do, but pays no income
tax for the same reason that co
ops pay no income tax on pa
tronage refunds. If there are no
profits, there can be no profits
tax.
The'Student Union Book Store
employs only students and their
wives. Book store employment
helps stretch that $9O a month for
a few, of the 1200 married couples
on Mt. Oread.
The store is a member of the
National Association of College
Stores, which includes privately
owned, co-op, and institutional
enterprises. Another member of
the association, the Harvard Co
op has given valuable information
concerning administration, fi
nancing, and management.
