The exchange store has run into some unusual problems from both students and competing merchants off campus. Cargill said the students don’t under stand the store’s policy for buy ing used books. “A used book is bought by the store at 50 per cent of the new book price and then it is sold at 75 per cent of the new book price,” Cargill said. “We do this if the book is still going to be used. "If the book isn’t going to be used, then we certainly can’t buy it back because we would take a loss. There are four wholesale companies which put out cata logues listing the prices they will pay for books that are no longer used. We buy the books at whole- prices and we get a five per cent commission. "Another thing which is hard for a student to accept is when a student in front of him sells a used book exactly like his for five dollars and then we buy his for 50 cents,’’ he said. “We do this because we can’t buy books for resell if it is going to exceed the estimate of the number of students the profes sors expect to have. So when we reach that number we stop buy ing used books for resell and start buying them to sell to the wholesale companies,” Cargill said. The store, which was started 1907 and was housed in the Old Main Building, has come un der attack several times by com peting merchants off campus. One of their main arguments is that certain lines of merchandise shouldn’t be sold in the store since they are not essential to the student’s education. “There has been one time since I’ve been here that we’ve been compelled to discontinue selling something,” Cargill said. “When I first came here I add ed suits to our inventory and we were selling a lot of them. Then somebody went to a state legis lator and got him to stop us from selling the suits.” Cargill explained that it is necessary to carry these high- mark up items in order to make a profit since it is not possible to do it selling books. He said they only make an 18% profit on the books and the store has to sell these other items to stay in business. Cargill added that “by main taining the manufacturer’s and publisher’s recommended selling prices we can be sure that we are not taking unfair advantage of free enterprise in the sur rounding community. We are a self-supporting business.” An unusual trait of the Ex change Store is the use of the profits they make. After all op erating costs are paid, the prof its are plowed back into student activities and organizations. “We gave $12,705 in 1959 when contributions by the store were started and in 1969-70 we gave $30,000 to 89 organizations including the Singing Cadets, the Civilian Student Council, and the band. Over the years we have given a total of $293,607,” Car gill said. Softball game opens up coed intramurals Coed intramural athletics has been organized with the first event in the program played Tuesday evening. A girls’ intramural softball game at the diamond near the Grove opened the program, an nounced Raymond L. Fletcher, intramurals director with the Health and Physical Education Department. He said girls’ bowling, tennis and golf are organizing now with participation to begin in the near future. Originally planned for initia tion this fall, the women’s intra murals program will eventually parallel the one conducted for male students. Cooperating in establishing the program is IV^rs. Patricia Self, University Women counselor of the student affairs office. “The coed program is sort of small this summer, as is the rest of the program,” Fletcher said. “But it’s a step forward and we expect a large number to par ticipate.” “Since it’s new, the program will take a little time to really get rolling,” he added, estimating two semesters as the minimum organization time. Instructors to attend annual confab Seven instructors from the Texas Firemen’s Training School will attend the 94th annual State Firemen’s and Fire Marshals’ Conference in San Antonio Mon day through Thursday. Chief instructor Henry D. Smith noted his men will conduct workshops during the convention for the three one-week training schools set in July and early August. Smith will be assisting the Firemen’s Training School vice chairman in presenting the an nual report and other matters regarding the association’s co- operation with A&M.
