Complete Report Of Exchange
Store Committee Investigation
The following is a complete re
port of the Exchange Store inves
tigation which as was presented to
the Student Welfare Committee
last Thursday night:
College Station, Texas.
March 3, 1032.
Dean F. C. Bolton, Chairman,
Student Welfare Committee,
Campus.
Dear Sir:
Having been appointed by you
as a sub-committee of the Student
Welfare Committee to investigate
the nature, prices, and policy of
The Exchange Store, we submit
you the following:
The Exchange Store was estab
lished in September 1909 under an
order adopted by the Board of Di
rectors of the College of June 9,
1909, which reads as follows:
“It was moved and carried that
the President of the College be au
thorized to make such arrange
ments as are necessary to supply
the students with articles of wear
ing apparel required by the regula
tions. He was further authorized
to supply in that Exchange Store
small articles required by the stu
dents as in his judgement will be
advantageous to them and to the
best interests of the college.”
It is operated as a separate de
partment of the College. As such
it is supervised by the Comptroller
of Accounts. All employees are paid
salaries out of profits of the store
and receive no commissions what
ever from sales.
In the investigation of the prices
charged, the Committee compar
ed the selling prices on those ar
ticles which comprise 75% of the
total sales, and which the student
is required to purchase at the store.
Some of these are: drawing ma
terials and sets; uniform equip
ment; toilet articles; book and sta
tionery. We found the Exchange
Store prices are 14% under those
of Frank Bros, of San Antonio,
Texas, and 4% over those of the
Post Exchange at Ft. Sam Hous
ton, Texas. They were 10% under
similar quotations at the Texas
Book Store and the University Co
op of Austin, Texas. However, in
order to accurately compare the
latter, rebates must be taken into
consideration. For the past ten
years the University Co-op has re
turned from 4 to 10 per cent in
cash to customers. The Texas Book
Store has given a 5% merchandise
rebate.
During the course of the inves
tigation we found that the Book
departments of the University of
Texas Store figured a 10% loss
on all new book sales, but are off
setting this by profit on the sales
of second-hand books. As similar
loss is being incurred by the Ex
change Store, it is our belief that
it should be allowed to sell second
hand books.
Respectfully submitted,
Signed,
C. M. Evans, Chairman,
A. C. Moser,
H. T. McWatters.
Aggie Track Team
To Enter Meet At
Fort Worth Show
This Year’s Squad Will Have
No Title Defenders As Last
Year’s Winners Have Grad
uated.
Eleven members; of the A and M
track team will journey to Fort
Worth Friday afternoon to par
ticipate in the annual track and
field meet held at the “Cowtown”
Fat Stock Show there Saturday,
March 12.
For the first time in four years
the Aggies will be absent an idi-
vidual title defender in any event.
The absence of Harlan, Slocomb,
and Stiteler to enter the high and
low hurdles and the pole vault leav
es the Aggie team devoid of any
outstanding talent in these events.
Harlan’s record of 14.6 seconds
in the high hurdles, set last year
at the meet, is the best yet in the
Southwest and is within two-tenths
of one second of the woiTd’s record
in that event.
The mile relay team, consisting
of George Lord, Jourdanton; T. W.
Akins, Fort Worth; George Ad-
dicks, La Grange; and Captain Per
cy Mimms, Fort Worth; or Hector
Fuentes, Saltillo Mexico; is con
ceded an even break to win a second
place, as the presence of such teams
as the Rice Owls and Texas Long
horns, considered the class of the
Southwest conference virtually eli
minate them as a possible first
place team.
T. W. Klein, College Station, who
has been ineligible until this sea
son; and G. J. Kohler, Palestine,
freshman numeral man; will be the
only A and M entry in the sprints.
Klein will run the 100 yard dash
and Kohler the 220.
T. C. “Ike” Morris, Forreston, is
the lone A and M hurdler who will
compete. In the weights Sam Mc-
Cluney, Waxahachie; and B. M.
“Honk” Irwin, Kosse; are slated to
enter. The only weight events to
be held are the shot put and the
discus. D. S. Wingo, Wills Point,
is to enter the high jump competi
tion.

TO BRING BACK
Aggies Manage To Win Low
Scoring Game Of Season As
Last Game Is Played.
Excellent guarding and poor goal
shooting by both teams resulted in
a 14 to 9 win for Coach John Reid’s
downtrodden Aggie cage men over
their age-old rivals, the Texas
Longhorns, on the Memorial gym
nasium court Saturday night as the
curtain was brought down on the
1932 basketball race, thus ending
a rather lean season for both
teams.
While the low scores indicate the
closeness of the guarding, the to
tals might still have been higher
had a few of the numerous shots,
missed by both, been good. From
the very start the game resolved
itself into a defensive battle with
neither team able to consistently
make their tosses count for scores,
and the net result was a total of
only eight field goals being count
ed for by the two teams, six by the
Aggies and one in each period for
the Steers.
Joe Moody, forward who took high
point honors with four field goals
and a pair of free throws for a
total of ten. “Bull” Elkins with a
sum of four points led the van
quished Longhorn five in scoring.
Captain Charlie Beard further
distinguished himself as one of the
leading conference guards by some
splendid floor work.

Miss Morrow
Receives Note
Threatening Life

(College News Service)
NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Mar.
9.—While authorities throughout
the East last week were frantically
searching for the 20-months-old
son of Charles A. Lindbergh, the
latter’s sister-in-law, Miss Con
stance Morrow, was being guarded
by police here.
Miss Morrow, sister of Mrs. Anne
Morrow Lindbergh, is a freshman
at Smith College, and although she
attended classes as usual, those in
charge of the guard were careful
to see that she was properly pro
tected at all times.
It was explained that the pre
cautions were taken in view of
threats which Miss Morrow had re
ceived by letter. The communica
tion demanded $50,000 and promis
ed death if she did not comply.
l^iight up ... Convince Yourself that Chesterfields Satisfy
|ALIP OPEN a pack of Chesterfields!
JE Help yourself to a cigarette...Light
up ... and let’s get the facts.
Mister... you’re dead right. They’re
milder!
It’s no secret in tobacco circles that
Chesterfield buys the finest tobaccos
that grow.. .Turkish and Domestic...
sun-ripened, mellow, pure!
Chesterfields are blended first ...
then cross-blended ... to make them
milder... and milder still! There’s no
mistaking that rare balance of flavor
built up by Cross-Blending. You enjoy
it in every fragrant puff!
Even the cigarette paper is different.
Cleaner, whiter, tasteless... the purest
that money can buy.
Listen, smokers . . . this is straight.
You can’t put taste in a cigarette . . .
unless quality goes in, too.
• Pass your verdict on Chesterfield’s Radio Program,
too! Nat Sliilkret’s 35-piece Orchestra with Alex
Gray, soloist, are on the Columbia Network every
night except Sunday, at 10:30 Eastern Standard Time.
