Bookstore to Ee Non-rrofit That "the University of Ne braska Regents Bookstore shall be operated as to be a non-profit enterprise'' was the main state ment in the student's recom mendations. The second point was that "profit shall be defined as the net balance between the gross sales of books and supplies, and the cost of operation of the Book store." According to the recommenda tions, "the cost of operation will be interpreted to include not only the initial cost of books and sup plies to the Bookstore, but also such items as managerial salary, wages to employes, and a rea sonable amount for utilities and rent." The amount for utilities and rent must be an estimate of cost, since the true cost could not be determined from the over all university expense. Profits, Losses Balance In striving to be a non-profit enterprise, the Bookstore must balance its profits and losses for succeeding years. For example, if the bookstore shall show a profit in one fiscal year, the ad ministration shall take steps to reduce the profit for the suc ceeding year. If a loss is incurred within a fiscal year, the profit for the next year will be in creased to the point where it will make up the loss.
