Science Needs
Moral Values

America must anchor its sci

to strong moral and spiritual
values or face the prospect o
destroying itself, Dr. G. W.
Rosenlof, university director- af
admissions, said Friday night at
a banquet celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the university
Dental college.

from nearly 30 states, Rosenlof

and techniques must be discov
ered in laboratories and operating
rooms.
"But the ends to which we put
this knowledge is of equal con
cern. The enemy of man today is
not his science, but his moral in
adequacy," he said.
Rosenlof said that educational
institutions can do rnuchito equip
young men and women with both
professional competence and the
qualities of "faith, hope and love"
so necessary in the world today.
Three deans of the college of
dentistry were honored at the
banquet. They are: Dr. W. Clyde

The convocation is sponsored by

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.
To Trint Financial Report
Harper Jso agreed to the pub
lishing of t complete profit and
loss statement entered last spring
by the present student manage
Jim Cusisk, covering the prev
ous two years' business. Tbta
period was under another ma&
agership.
Steps which the administra
tion and the student manager plan
to take to reduce student book
prices this year will be decided
upon in the near future and w31
be published when they are ra-
