The principal duty of the class

Constitutionally, they are to rep

Corn Increase
Possible Savs
Agronomist
Great increases in per acre
yields of corn in the corn growing
regions of America are 'still pos
sible according to Dr. T. A. Kis
selbach, agronomist at the Uni
versity experiment station.
He spoke before an industry
research conference of the Ameri
can Seed Trade Association in
Chicago yesterday.
"That corn yields an bein
creased materially and profitably
on most farms there is no doubt,"
said Dr. Kisselbach, one of the
country's pioneer corn breeders.
"Public and private research and
experience of farmers point the
way. Better production may not
represent less effort or less work
per acre with respect to all prac
tices but will reflect more effi
ciency and lower expenditures.
"Efficient production rather
than overproduction of any spe
cific crop should be the watch
word," he said.
Dr. Kisselbach then outlined
cultural practices which would re
sult in not only greater yields,
but also in greater conservation
He estimated, in the absence of
irrigation and under prevailing
weather conditions, that corn pro
ducing areas can 'profitably in
crease the corn yield of this coun
try by 70 percent."

Why doesn't the University bookstore, as a non-profit
concern, reduce prices on books ? Why doesn't Repents sell
supplies other than books? These are questions that need
answering.
The avowed policy of Regents, the only University
operated bookstore, is in the interest of the student. It is
not operated to make a big profit which can be diverted to
purposes which do not concern the Ftudent. If present plans
are carried out, Regents will eventually become self-supporting.
Its operational costs are now paid for by the University.
If Regents becomes able to pay its own expenses, it will
be willing to reduce its prices on new and used books. So
we have a price war. So what? If the student is the prime
concern of the University, the University should not be
afraid of a price war.
In a report to a non-existent Student Council last spring,
the director of the bookstore declared, "It is a matter of
record that no funds have been withdrawn from the book
store account to be used for other purposes, and the stu
dents have the assurance of the present administration that
no funds will be withdrawn except as payments of utilities,
rent and actual expense . . ."
On the surface, then, Regents is operating for the stu
dent. .But what kind of a deal does the student get at Re
gents? Can he purchase supplies other than books? No.
If he buys his books at the University bookstore, he will
have to go to one of the other stores for notebooks, etc. He
probably will go to one of the other stores in the first place.
Bookstore owners agree that supplies are one of their
most important sources of revenue. If Regents is going to
handle its own operational costs, it will certainly neod the
supply business. It is obvious, of course, that Regents
doesn't have the space. What we need is a new store.
Furthermore, according to Regents, if it could carry
supplies, it could sell them for any price. This means they
could be marked down below list price. Regents has the
understanding that it must not sell books below list price.
An act of the Nebraska state legislature says the Uni
versity must provide books for all courses at a fair and rea
sonable price. The administration has interpreted "fair and
reasonable" to mean "not below list price." Who interpreted
"fair and reasonable" to the administration ?
Because of this interpretation, the student purchases
the same new book at any store at the same price. All three
stores buy books back from students at approximately 50
per cent of list price. The University bookstore recently was
able to reduce its mark-up on used books by five per cent.
According to Regents, its price on used books is therefore
lower than that of the other -stores. If the price on used
books can be lowered, why can't Regents mark down its
new books?
We are not implying that all the bookstores reduce their
prices, even if they have to go in the red. But if Regents
eventually becomes able to pay for itself and still makes a
profit, it should use this net profit to the student's ad
vantage. Susie Reed.
