Regent's Book Settled in New The Regent's Bookstore has completed moving its equipment to new quarters in Temporary "B." . , The job of moving all the books and office equipment from the Temple building to Temporary "B" took about a week and was completed last Friday. The new quarters are only slightly larger than the old ones, but it is arranged more conven iently. The records in the Temple building were kept in three dif ferent rooms. The move was necessitated by the renovation of the, Temple. Four of the rooms presently used by the speech de partment will be eliminated and there was need for additional office space. The counter space has been doubled with more floor space. This will facilitate faster service to students, according to R. A. Stewart, manager of the book store. Non-Profit Store The Regent's bookstore han dles about 1,000 different book titles-each semester.' The books are valued at about $125,000. Stewart estimated that &bout 75 percent of the University stu at the Ag Spring elections YW Frosh To Entertain At Breakfast The YWCA and its work in countries all over the world where the organization is active will be the theme of the annual May Morning breakfast given by freshmen for University YW members and their mothers.

Regents to Vote On Fee Raise The Board of Regents has scheduled a meeting for May 20, when they will discuss the pro posed increase in tuition. The fee boost, recently ap proved by student vote, will provide for union expansion. Store Now Quarters dents come into the bookstore to buy some item during the course of the year. No action has been taken as yet upon the suggestion that Re gents sell notebooks and other school supplies as well as text books. The Regents Bookstore is op erated on a non-profit hasis by the University. All books are sold at list price and used books are soid at 70 per cent of their original value. v Used Books Stewart said that there would e greater savings in selling school supplies than in textbooks, since the supplies would not de teriorate or become obsolete as would the books. Stewart said that obsolete books could some times be sold to other companies which could resell them to . schools where they are being used, hut that more often they had to be sold to book buyers for a fraction of their original value. Education, pyschology, soci ology and other courses in which there are many new ir.ovations on the subject require the most new textbooks, Stewart said.
