Lincoln Honored Today
But Are His Principles?
When lilacs last in the dooryard
bloom'd,
And the great star droop'd In the
western sky
in the night,
I mourn'd, and yet shall mourn with
ever-returning spring. Whitman.
Today marks the birthday anniversary
of the 11th president of the United States,
Abraham Lincoln.
He, and his predecessor of some 70
years, George Washington, are among the
most revered patriots of this nation.
Schools and civic groups have special
programs lined up today ail over this
country in honor of Lincoln.
But why? What sets off this man Lin
coln from the 15th president or the 17th
president or almost any other that this
nation has had?
His ideals and his actions undoubtedly
art the basis for his lasting esteem in the
eyes of his countrymen. He was liberal
and forward; he disliked compromising;
his greatest aim was a government by
and for the people.
He carried out the ideals of the Consti
tution to the best extent possible in per
haps the most difficult times any presi
dent has had to face.
And with his faith in the Constitution
and with his high ideals, he could not
One-Ways Might Save Tempers
If you are an automobile owner, un
doubtedly the recent snow has proved
quite perplexing in trying to drive on
campus streets. This problem has come
up more than once this year and will con
tinue to plague drivers until some solu
tion is devised.
The biggest headache is keeping two
lanes of traffic moving on 12th St. and the
streets running along the north side of
Love Library and on the south side of
Burnett and Andrews Halls.
If you drive an Isetta or a Renault, this
probably doesn't affect you. However, for
those who, drive anything newer than a
1919 Stutz Bearcat, it is practically impos
sible for two cars to meet and pass with
out one polling over till the other gets by.
And anybody who drives a late model
with fins and all the jazz that goes on the
newer cars, might just as well walk.
Although this problem is more apparent
during and after heavy snows when cars
can't be parked as close to the curb as

coin's mind a nation half free and half
slave could not long endure. ,
He believed every nation, in fact, should
be free to reach the destiny to which it
was entitled.
But today, it seems that we have for
gotten some of the doctrines that Lincoln
stressed the very things we admire him
for.
Prejudice still "rears its ugly head"
throughout this country dedicated to free
dom. It's prevalent in places like Little
Rock, Atlanta and even in Lincoln, Ne

Today the United States also supports
foreign policies of nations like England
and France nations which still largely
carry oh with a "keep what we can
policy toward the smaller nations still
under their thumbs.
Perhaps we honor Lincoln today with
out realizing why we do. It seems like it is
time for a self-evaluation by this country
on the anniversary of one of its greatest
leader's birthdays.
If we honor Lincoln for the values and
doctrines he believed in, certainly the na
tion should accept them now.
It would be a good idea to see them In

"with liberty and justice for all."
they can during good weather, it causes
trouble in fall, spring and summer.
It would seem that a logical solution
would be to make these three problem
streets one-ways. Traffic would move
faster and students would be no less in
convenienced. This would be better than
switching to parallel parking on one side
of the street as has been done in front of
the Coliseum and Bessey HalL
Which also brings to mind the question
of if one-way streets were adopted, why
not follow suit on those streets that have
parallel parking on one side? Angle park
ing could be restored on two sides, cre
ating more parking places, which cer
tainly would be welcomed.
Parking is available at nearly all times
now, although in bad weather it is rather
trying to walk from Elgin to Social
Sciences.
The matter is worth looking into by Uni
versity officials. A more satisfactory so
lution could help save tempers from flar
ing and fenders from bending.

the University bookstore
was founded in 1869 right
along with the University
when the legislature pro
vided that the University
set up some sort of book
system to serve the stu
dents. Mr. Campbell generously
gave credit to the 1952 Stu
dent Council for its work
which helped enable the
University Bookstore to
stock supplies in addition
to books.
The first step in the pro
cess of getting books to the
student involves instructors
of the University who sport
the title of textbook coordi

cate the books to be used
in their department on a
form giving the title, en

other pertinent informa

form is the little space
which asks whether or not
the book will be used again.
If the coordinator said

of the saddle when you go
to sell the book.

Hoerner
cil found out that his cut
averages around 10 per
cent.
According to Mr. Camp
bell, the markup on sup
plies at the University
Bookstore is around 33 per
cent notwithstanding the
fact that in Schuyler con
struction paper is one cent
per sheet instead of two
cents as one council mem
ber prudently pointed out
Used books, provided that
instructors plan to use them
again, if there isn't a new
edition being planned and
a few other conditions are
present, will be bought back
at 50 per cent of the new
price.
They are then resold at
70 per cent of the original
price which figures out to
be a markup of 40 per cent
on nsed books as opposed
to 20 per cent on the new
ones.
Mr. Campbell pointed out
that even though the books
aren't going to be used
again here, if he can con
tract to sell them elsewhere
he offers students the price
he can resell them for to
another university store.
The one question posed
by Council members which
Mr. Campbell did not seem
to answer completely was:
If the University Bookstore
is run on a non-profit basis
why aren't the prices sig
nificantly lower than pri
vately owned bookstores
which must make a profit
to stay in business.
The answer seemed to lie
somewhere In the realm of
the University Bookstore's
not having bad enough time
to build up an inventory of
used books.
If this is the case we
might expect a drop in
prices when their inventor
ies reach the desired level.
The above information
seemed to offer me some
interesting food for thought,
and the theory sounds fine
but somehow (it's human
nature I guess) I can't help
feeling that the maroon
harpoon is being applied
when I march up to sell
those used books.
A corner of thought
Tis good to sit here.

With Blackfriar's pipe.
Smoke ye well into the
depths of hell,
Burn low your candles.
Ladle out your fire,
But never weary;
For, I have before me here,
A tall cool mug of beer.
And a corner of thought in
which to rot.
