H. 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.
