Morgan, president of the Col lege. lir other action, the board voted not to support the dormitory athletic equipment fund with con tributions from the Exchange store. A majority of the board mem bers felt that the units already had enough equipment in the backlogs gnd in the personal possession of indiyitJhal cadets in the units. The present student activities fee, which is not compulsory, is blamed for the lack of support for the dormitory athletic equipment fund. White said the committee which decided on beneficiaries from the fund approved only those which would limit participation to those students who had paid activity fees. Included in this are all the stu dent publications. Town Hall and athletic tickets. Other orgainzations were drop ped. These included the MSC, the swimming pool and intramural athletics, which were formerly p^id for under the compulsory student activity fee law. The Exchange store has lost money so far this year in com parison to last year, revealed Carl Birdwell, manager of the store. He attributes the loss to several factors. During the month of September, the store lost money in three de partments. “Furnishings” lost $3,500. This was explained by the fact that many freshmen had signed up for golf and swimming. The $18 physical education uniform is not required for these two courses. In “sundries”, the Exchange sjtore lost $14,000 during Septem ber. The reason for this, Birdwell said, is freshmen don’t take the basic slide rule course until spring this year, where formerly they took it both semesters. “Novelties” is losing money, said Birdwell, because the Exchange store no longer has use of its dis play windows. Both the large win dows are boarded up because of the work being done on the founda tion at the front of the store. “Books” and “drug sundries” earned more money this Septem ber, than last said Birdwell. The bpok department gained be cause the store had more used books on hand thpn ever before. Birdwell went on a used book buy ing trip this summer to used book wholesalers in cities around the country. As a result, less customers were lost for “out of stock” reasons. In the drug sundries depart ment, Birdwell said sales increases were caused by a more attractive display and by a more complete line of merchandise. Also, he said alarm clocks, which have been in short supply since World War II, have become more plentiful and increased sales in that line alone would almost account for the increase in drug sundries. The hoard recommended that any surplus funds left after all allocations have been made, be turned back into the store for operating funds. Those present at yesterday’s meeting were C. A. Roeber, chair man; Dr. Fred W. Jensen, Dr. E. C. Klipple, Ernest Langford, A. A. Young, and C. G. White, all of whom are faculty members. Student members present were Ben (Buddy) Vance, Larry Ken nedy, and Ted Uptmore. Three stu dent members were absent from the meeting. They were Leonard Stoltz, W. R. (Dusty) Canon and Jan Broderick.
