CH1CA40 OItO 10 AaiLI S rHCHCO A Three-Cent Issue Perennially the student bookstore gripe comes out for an airing, this time before a university senate committee. Out of the in vestigation information evolves that the uni versity sponsored bookstore has been fleecing tho average unsuspecting student out of an approximate 'M or even 45 cents a semester probably as much as three or four dollars dur ing his college career. Figured on a three and two-thirds percent margin, it can be seen that the average student's purchase of books amasses approximately this sum for the non profit university book store. Few business enterprises would attempt to operate with a three and two-thirds percent margin of profit. Yet the Regent's book store has operated on that basis at least for the past seven years, when the present manager took over his position. Before that time university officials in charge "don't know and can't re member' ' if any record was ever kept of this enterprise which handles a $30,000 to $50,000 volume of business each year. The charge has been made that the Re gents book store sells at prices equal to or higher than prices of stores running on a profit making basis. The present 10 percent below list price at which both the two major stores are operating is the rock bottom level to which the University book store has forced prices on new books within the years of its operation. Two alternatives are open to the regents in the use of book store profits they may be used for campus improvements or they may be kept as a surplus fund upon which a future reduction in price of books may be based. The 1!M7 profit operated to bring about a 10 per cent used book cut. Use of an amassed $10,000 in 1932 and $15,000 in IMS for campus im provements can scarcely be protested on the groups of needed price reduction. Had these profits been applied to bring about a reduction in book price, the advantage to the individual student would have been infinitesimal. Patently the book problem is still unsolved. Students still protest 1 he high price placed on certain pamphlets and mimeographed sheets, the too frequent purchase of new editions of professors' books because of minor changes in the text. It is none the less apparent, that the solution does not lie in the Regents' book store, university owned and operating on yearly profit margin of three and two-thirds percent. M. D. C.

Editor's note: The following editorial and preface is reprinted as run in The Californlan last year. It appears in the current "What the Colleges Are Doing," published by Ginn and company. Recent events make it of special Interest to the campus. Every so often a group of self 's ppointed guardians of democracy take it upon themselves to purge Young America by conducting an inquisition into the political beliefs of college undergraduates. This time it was Kansas University's turn. Here is the succinct com ment of nationally famous Wil- 'Jiam Allen White. Every year the witch hunters break out in some legislatures, trying to round up the commu nists in some state universities After which every year a lot of hard boiled young guys who like swashbuckling around in Sam ; Browne belts at the state meetings .get red in the face and go Rfter me subversive professors. Then every year in the cold, gray dawn QommsmL of the morning after, these red raced young patriots in their Sam Browne belts are discovered holding the sack at the head of the ravine and nothing ever hap pens except a dinky little legis lative eating. The annual show this year is staged in Kansas. It will be like the shows in all other states, a lot of whoop-te-do and no evidence. Why? Because there Just is no evidence. The basis of all these shows is gossip and toll tales mul tiplied by ten under the tongues of super-patriots. College professors don t preach communism. In every group of students of over 300, five or six percent of them are more or less radical; and generally they blow off the steam of their radicalism in youth and grow up to wear Sam Browne belts and get red In the face later in life and go out to hunt the other witches. The thing for the faculty of the university to do its to take it easy. Don't get excited. Walk, don't run, to the nearest exit and en joy like in the open. In a few months the sun will chire. watpi will run down hill, and smoke will go up the chimneys Just the same. William Allen White in the Em poria Gazette. Daily Callfornian. Fallacy of Radicalism Lay critics who complain thai university and college campuses are hotbeds of radicalism have cause to doubt the soundness of their criticisms since the publica tion of a report of investigation Into this matter on some 20 campuses, both state and de nominational. The report is one issued by a psychology professor at Newberry college in South Carolina to sat isfy his own curiosity ns to the factual basis of newspaper reports that critics had culled American university students radical, and is based on a questionnaire sent to nearly 4.000 students. Results showed that the general average in the middle western col leges investigated Is not radical, but tends even a little toward the right.

Sain Iligginbottom is best known for his work in establish ing the agricultural insiitule at Allahabad. When the Presbyterian missionary went to India in 1903, he found that the root of India's economic problems lay In the poverty-stricken villagers who are the base of the Indian social struc ture. He returned to the United States only long enough to take a course in agriculture, and has .since made The K.U. Wolf Pack Do ''howls of the wolves" Oi.it ter a football team's morale? Or does it jell and crystallize into a vindication so that team and coaching staff bear lightly the bur den of the heavy end of a lop sided score? And is student sup port scattered, lost among the despondent "howls?'' In the game with traditional rivals at Manhattan Saturday,. the Jayhawkers, both fliidont and team, dramatically demon strated at least in one clash that criticism did not break down the winning spirit. But more is intangible, as fleet ing and unpredictable as the winds, and upon the coach, not on criticism, rests the thankless tank of constantly fanning. flames that burn opponents to a crisp. And upon the foundation of his suc cess or failure thru the years, stu dent support, as well as that of the alumni and fans measured at the box office, normally floods and ebbs. Splashing nn oar into the "eb bing tide" of K.U. sentiment, no doubt r.t flood stage now, the Kan sas State Collegian Friday in a front page editorial titled "Let's Not Be Fooled." predicted with startling insight the outcome. The prognostication, qmniseient to the extent of defining motives, tho er roneously, read in part: "We believe, as do many other persons on the K-State campus, that the whole scheme is a deliber ate attempt to incite university team and student body to a fight ing fury, an attempt to build a belligerency that will be unleashed against the K-Statc squad." Adding authenticity and author ity to the opinion, Coach W'es Fry. indubitably unprepared, was quoted: "We believe they are attempt ing to whip the team in a fighting mood for Saturday's game and we are prepared." 9o far, our critical attitude, indicated In news dir.pjtclics, has been cited in a lefthanclcd man- SAM HIGGINBOTTOM. is inducing in these young men." lr.
