Book Cost Discussed Dean Ben Euwema of the School of Liberal Arts, who at tended the meeting, _ discussed the cost-of-books problem, the faculty-student forum, and other problems related to the school. Some ways to combat the cost of-books problem were: 1. Add supplements of new ma terial lacking in old textbooks. 2. Rent the books from book stores. 3. Establish a student coopera tive book store or college-oper ated concern. 4. Have the students pay a fee which would be used to supply the library with books. Each stu dent in a particular course would have access to those books. To get smoother relations be tween students and faculty, Eu wema suggested the council could meet with faculty members who were most familiar with the problem being discussed. A prob lem in the Philosophy depart ment could be treated by* the head of that department, inter ested faculty members, and the council, he said.
