Book Pool Off ers Students Savings of 10-12 Per Cent
By Dave Wohlfarth
The newly formed student
book exchange will begin
operation Jan. 30, according
to Steve Tempero, president
,of Alpha Phi Omega. The
national service fraternity
is conducting the project in
conjunction with the Stu
dent Council.
The exchange, a non
profit venture, will save the
student 10-12 percent in both
selling old books and buy
ing new ones, Tempero
said.
He said that students
should take their books to
the ticket booth in the Stu
dent Union, Jan. 30 or 31.
Two Cards -The
student selling his
books will fill out two
cards. Each will include the
name of the seller, his ad
dress, his asking price plus
the title, author and course
number. If there is a pur
chaser for the book it will
be sold and the money
will be returned to the orig
inal owner.
Books may be either sold
or bought during the period
of Feb. 6-10. A booth will
be set up along the north
wall, east of the elevator in
the basement of the Union
(near the new University
Book store).
Students may pick up .
their money or books, if not
sold, in" the Union b ase
ment Feb. 13 or 14. If the
books or the money are not
picked up on these two
days, they will become the
property of Alpha Phi Ome
ga, according to Tempero.
. Bookstore Prices ',
Tempero estimated th'aT"
the bookstores offer approx
imately 50 per cent of the
original price for returned
books and sell them back at
about 75 per cent of the
original cost,
In the new book pool,
Alpha Phi Omega will take
only a two to three per cent
service charge, thereby al
lowing the student to sell
books at a 60-62 per cent
price and buy them at 64
66 per cent price.
"This splits the savings
both ways and it costs the
seller nothing if his books
are not sold," Tempero
said.
A meeting of the book
pool sub-committee, com
posed of one representative
from each house in the
men's and women's r e s i
dence hall, each sorority,
fraternity arid co-op house
was held Tuesday in t h e
Student Union.
Tempero said that about
,35 representatives attended
and that they showed "very
favorable response to the
plan."
Convenient Location
He added, "I think, due
to the location by the book
store, it will be much more
convenient for students this
year and they can buy what
books they want."
The booths will be open
from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
through the noon hour on
the above mentioned dates,
according to Tempero.
"We will accept only
books used in second semes
ter courses," he said and
added that for anyone de
siring further information
on the project to contact
either himself or Al Plum
mer. Plummer is chairman
on the Student Council spon
sored project.
Tempero also added that
anyone can use the ex
change to buy books even
though they may not be
selling them.

Senator Marvin Lauten
schlager of Grand Island has
announced he will seek a con
stitutional amendment to in
crease the size of the Board
of Regents from six to 12
members to be elected for
four-year terms instead of six.
Lautenschlager said he will
introduce a bill in the legis
lature asking that the pro
posed amendment be submit
ted to the voters.
He said he believes it
"would bring the pe lit of the
state and the University a lit
tle closer together and foster
better understanding."
Presently, one regent is
elected from each of the six
State Supreme Court judge
districts for a six-year term.
Lautenscblagers plan would
add one regent in each
of those districts. Four-year
terms would be staggered so
that one regent would be
elected from each district
every two years.
The additional regents
would make it possible for the
board to divide itself into
three-member subcommittees
specializing in different
phases of University opera

Five Outstanding Nominations Added to List
Five more students and faculty members have been
nominated over the past weekend for the title of Out
standing Nebraskan to be announced Friday by the Ne
braskan. '
Dr. David P. McGilL Dr. Alexander Edelman and
Dr. Franklin E. Eldrige have been nominated for the fac
ulty award while Rod EUerbuscb and Ingrid Leder have
been submitted for the student award for this semester.
Dr. MeGfll
The letter nominating Dr. Mi-Gill outlined several
reasons: "First, be is recognized as one of the outstanding
teachers in the University. This is evidenced by the fact
that be was ebosea by the University at one of its two out
standing fnstnidors last year and that be was one of
twenty in the natioa chosen to attend a national conference
fl genetics teachers last summer.
"Possibly a reason for bis fine teaching ability is
his unique use of creativity. Second, he has done much to
improve student-faculty relationships on the campus- Pres
ently, be is the Junior Division counselor on Ag campus.
He feels that each advisee has individual problems, inter
ests and capabilities and that each curriculum should be
planned with this in mind.
"He also serves as faculty adviser for two student or
ganizations. He is a member of the Agricultural College
Scholarship Awards Committee. He is never too busy to
help a student with his personal problems.
"Third, he is respected by all bis former students and
by anyone who faas met him. A possible reasoa for this is
that when talking to someone be strives to make the per
son feel be Is on the same level with himself. One can
kara much from just talking to him.
