' Courses that have the same lectures and the same tests year after year. Tests and lecture notes are sold. Class attend ance becomes meaningless. Outside assignments handed in year after year under a different name. Files of themes, abstracts, book reviews, notebooks, that get marks of 7, 8, and 9 year after year. Over-emphasis on test scores and on specificity of answering that makes for little application of principles and much memorization. Students taking tests and doing assignments for others.

Pond Information, Please . . . What happened to the Office of Textbook Information? What happened to that efficient institution which was go ing to relieve all the mixup of buying books each semester . So far as we can tell, the complaints are as numerous and loud as ever. One student tells of selling a book, which was new when he bought it last semester and which or iginally cost $5, for $1.50. The clerk said the book was not going to be used again. He remarKea 10 me aiat ..-av it was bad business to have on hand a large supply of books which couldn't be resold. But when the student in quired about the particular book in question, the instructor said it would be used again this semester. What happened to the Office of Textbook Information ? Another student had four books to sell. One store offered him $1.80 for the whole lot. Unlike most students who won't bother with trying to sell their books at more than one store, this student went to all three bookstores. At the second one he was offered $3.65 for two of the books, $1 for one and nothing for the fourth. The third store gave him $1.50 for the book for which the second refused to pay anything. And it would pay nothing for the book which would have brought $1 at the second store. The clerk said it wasn't going to be used this semester.

The stated purpose of this office is "to collect all longed coal information pertaining to textbooks used in the various de,,C. courses taught, both on the city and on the agriculture as ymir campus, and release such information to all interested portcr iwted. parties, thereby relieving the individual instructors of this direct negoiia responsibility."

At least it would be noted for beins the stage for a pei feet crime. What a novel pub licity stunt. Of course, dreams would realty pop if some over-anxious undei fed student thinks he can use 500 smacks. It isn't that University stu dents don"t love books, but any outsider might get the wrong idea after hearing about the book store robbery, and the Book Nook robbery. Students' Gripe criminology wanted revenge on the store for overcharging him for a free desk blotter. Lincoln police remain silent as the time since the robbery grows longer and longer. Since one of the cops opposes gambling, they can't toss coins to see who is to work on the case for the $500. Only time will tell. Mean while, time ticks on as crime moves on.

It appears that only a full scale police force can handle the traffic jams between classes at Burnett, Sosh or most any building on the campus. Surely there must be better places to socialize than in the doorways to these buildings. The students who sit in class and carry on spirited conversation with their neighbors are discourteous in two respects. They are discourteous to the persons behind them who are trying to concentrate on the lecture, and to the instructor who has a difficult time in the first place trying to hold his class' attention.
