Council:
Booh Pool
Debut Sef
faf I7eeff
The newly formed book pool
committee will go into action by
operating a booth in the Union on
Jan. 17 and 18, where students may
fill out a card on any book they
wish to sell.
This card will have information
such as department, course num
ber, title of the book, the author,
date of edition, the person's name,
telephone rupmber, address, hours
he may be reached, conditions of
the book, nd the price he is ask
ing for.
Helen Gourlay, chairman of the
committee said, "Our committee
will act as a contacting service or
bureau of information."
These cards will be on file ac
cording to the course number and
the files will be operated by the
Student Council members.
Miss Gourlay said, "On Monday
and Tuesday, Feb. 4 and S, the
first two days of second semester
(or longer if necessary) a student
may come in to see the cards for
a certain course he wishes to buy
a book for. Then he may personally
contact the person who has indi
cated he wishes to sell that book
and they will carry on their own
transaction."
This system will be a go-between
for students wishing to buy
a book and students wishing to sell
books, according to Gourlay.
The committee wishes in the
future to operate a book exchange
where students would actually
bring in the books they wish to
sell. This system is now operating
at Colorado, and Missouri.
The council first learned of the
Idea from members who attended
the Big-Seven Student Governor's
Conference in Kansas City last
year. Student book pools, which
have been in effect in schools
throughout the country for many
years, have proved to be very suc
cessful. The large monitary saving
far the books is the main reason
for the pool's popularity among
students.
The book pool would provide a
means for students in a larger
group than present organizations
to buy and exchange books without
going through a middle man.
The exchange would be operated
by-council members and volunteer
students. The probable charge to
students utilizing the service would
be 10 or 20 cents. j

An opportunity for students to
participate in a pioneer insurance
program is being offered at the
University during second semester.
The University Administration
drew up specifications for a health
and accident coverage and submit
ted particulars to 35 insurance
companies representatives.
Ben Loudon of the Administra
tion office said-Monday tttat the
program was designed with the
students' needs in mind and the
lowest bid was offered by Mutual
Health and Accident Company of
Omaha.
"In other words," Loudon said,
"we let major companies know
what we were looking for to pro
tect the students and the most ac
ceptable bid was given by Mutual
of Omaha."
In letters addressed to under
graduate students and mailed over
the holidays Chancellor Hardin
and Medical Director Dr. S. L
Fuenning, pointed out that the plan
can be extended to the families
of students covered.
The plan was developed to cover
one hundred per cent of the medi
cal expenses which might face
students.
Loudon said that the Student
Health Center protection is now
primarily an out-patient service.
"The policy as we have developed
it, aids "in" patients who are in
jured in intramurals and other ac
cidents as well as long term ill
nesses." The plan will cover students who
are generally "in between" on
family -coverage plans. Ben Pat
terson of Mutual of Omaha stated
that ordinarily students over 18
are out of the range of family
policies.
"In addition," he said, "they
Parking:
Police Ask
For Student
Assistance
In a letter to Dave Keene, chair
man of the University parking
committee, Sgt. John Furrow, of
the campus police, has urged "the
student body, faculty, and the em
ployees of the University" to co
operate with police officials by
"not parking in the areas marked
with red lines."
Furrow's letter was in reply to
an inquiry by Keene concerning
parking "on red lines and green
lines throughout the campus area
between the hours of 5 p.m. and
8 p.m." - '
"It appears that we mr.i all
recognize that redline areas are
universally recogrized as areas in
which o:ie may not park," the let
ter stated,
"While it is true that certain
parking regulations on the Univer
sity campus apply only during
given hours, the restrictions with
respect to red lines apply twenty
four hours a day "Furrow added.
