year for his education including

will be broken down into three

Exchange Store Suggests Early B ig
to Avoid Last-Minute Book LinesY P
By Doyle Duncan
In order to avoid the long lines of students vbfAch were
a headache in September, the Exchange Store has suggested
practices that the student body should follow in purchasing
books and supplies for the next

semester,
probably not end the congestion
completely, but will ease the strain
on tne store and the students.
Non-veteran students may obtain
complete official lists on the coun
ters of the store and should begin
securing books and supplies today,
or as soon as possible. Veterans
should begin buying or ordering
on Friday and Saturday, January
24-25. These days are designated
so that everyone will not come to
the store at the same time. Stu
dents with long lists of equipment
are urged to delay purchase for
a few days, since in most cases
the equipment is not needed the
first week or ten days.
The store will be operated by
two shifts from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m.,
January 27, and on as many other
days as necessary.
Stocks of various books and ma
terials of the store are ample to
cover about 85 or 90% of the
needs. Drawing sets, dissecting
sets, and some items of veterinary
medicine equipment are very
scarce at present. Slide rules are

10% of the needed slide rules will
be supplied by the Exchange Store.
No dictionaries will be available
before late February of early
March, since publishers think A.
& M. got more than its share in
1946. More deliveries on all these
items are expected soon.
In addition to its stocks of text
books, the Exchange Store now
has available a modern library of
both fictional and non-fictional
best-sellers, the titles of which
were suggested by the English
Department. One hundred such
titles were listed last summer and
fifty more before Christmas. A
new list of titles—there are three
copies of each book—is compiled
once a month.
