PENNSYLVANIA SGA Committees Bookstore Investigated By ANN PALMER (This is the second in a series of articles concerning the work of th e Student Government Association committees.) The SGA Bookstore Com mittee presented the results 'of a student survey on the need for a bookstore to Presi- I dent Eric A. Walker last spring. This completed the work which !the committee was assigned to do at its formation in February 1961. The call to investigate the need for a University bookstore was: issued to SGA by the University.) !Board of Trustees which cussed the possibilities of estab-' dishing a bookstore at their meet ing in January. The committee, headed by Philip Steinhauer, senior in business administration from Kingston, worked with Albert E. Diem, vice president for business administration, to com pile background and recommen dations measuring need for a bookstore at the University. Walker introduced this report to the Board of Trustees in June. The Board, however, took no ac tion at that time and is waiting Tanganyika Freshman__ (Continued from page six) ( p romised positions under the new , t er hated the British and we ex- government.

Student interest in the current bookstore campaign was ignited last December when Theodore ( Simon, then a member of the Junior Class Advisory Board, pre pared a comprehensive report on the need and procedures for estab lishing a University bookstore. Simon made this report avail able to the SGA Assembly which 'approved a bill asserting the "im mediate and imperative need for a University Bookstore." The SGA bill and Simon's re-, port were submitted to the Board' of Trustees in January. SGA's i support for the project was em-! phasized by a barrage of tele-I grams sent to individual Board members, requesting favorable action on the bookstore. After considering the problem, the Board asked Walker to com pile and present in June, a de tailed report on the needs and costs of such a venture. TICKETS The critics say: "A stroke of near genius!" . —Kerr, New York Herald-Tribune "A rani experience!" —Taubman, Nan York Times "Wild; earthy Milner!" --Welts, New York Poet Walker stated at that time that the Board wanted to know in what ways State College book store facilities were inadequate, what sales and services students would expect from a University operated bookstore and financial requirements for such a project. Walker divided the investiga tion in two parts: the Bookstore Committee was to compile evi dence of need, and Diem was to prepare a financial report, The Bookstore Committee com- Ipleted its "need" report in' time for the June Board meeting. It was based on a survey conducted I last spring in which a random sample of 877 students were ques tioned about the availability of textbooks at the beginning of each semester. Forty-four per cent of those questioned felt that the present situation should be improved. • Diem did not present his report at that time and the Board said it would take no action until it is received.
