The student is given a cash register re ceipt for each purchase at THE EX CHANGE STORE. He simply writes his name on the slip and drops it into a box on our Cashier’s counter. At the end of the school year, cash payments are made on demand, based on the ratio of signed re ceipts to the amount of the Store’s net surplus. The Profit Sharing Plan is supervised by a Faculty-Student Advisory Board. Every bona fide regular student of the Col lege can participate, without the payment of any dues or fees. The Plan is set up as the result of a whole hearted desire on the part of the College Administration to provide a more efficient and economical system of vending essential school supplies to the Aggie student body.
