THE BEST
Beginning Sept 1. the Uni
versity Bookstore reduced new
textbook prices by .5 per cent
L Lower prices were made
possible by a heavier volume of
business and a more efficient
use of personnel, according to
bookstore manager W T
Chambers.
Chambers cited this change
as “another step in the Univer
sity Bookstore effort to be of
total service to the student
body.
Increased volume has ena
bled us to be probably the first
major college store in the na
tion to lower the price of new
texts. This can be attributed to
the excellent patronage of the
student body who are making
this better textbook price possi
ble he continued
“I POINTED OUT a vear
ago that we could reduce prices
if we could get the volume of
business up — and we have."
Chambers said He estimated
that the discount would save
the student body a total ol $50-
60.000 during the year
He pointed out that the
bookstore does not get any
money from the state, all sala
ries and expenses are paid out
of the profits
“People want to know how
we can reduce prices on new
books when others are all going
up on prices. Chambers said
“Our stock control and organi
zation system is being copied
throughout the country, espe
cially our paperback book con
trol."
HE SAID that the University
Bookstore has the* largest
collection of paperback books
in the southeast, and the nation
al book distributor believes
theirs is the most efficient sys
tem in the nation.
Last Thursday was the “big
gest day in the history of the
store, according to Chambers
Eighteen cash registers were in
operation, and profits sur
passed those oi the tirst day of
classes last fall. He said busi
ness didn’t seem to be harmed
by the failure of the store's air-
conditioning system.
Chambers estimated that yi
the old store, which was located
in Memorial Hall, the Universi
ty Bookstore sold 35-40 per cent
of the books with Campus and
College bookstores getting the
rest of the business In the new
building which opened in Nov
ember of 1968. he believes the
store draws 70-80 per cent of
tile book business.
BOOKSTORE LINES WERE ONG ON FIRST DAY OF CLASS
Non-operative air-conditioning added to discomfort

ing the Sanders' administration
and was appointed by Governor
Maddox as the director of Fam
ily and Children Services.
Of his controversial days as
Welfare director. Burson said.
It it is true that controversy at
tended my 34 months and 19
days as Welfare Director-but it
was controversy that stemmed
from my efforts to reform an
impossible program that has
failed and which posed a threat
to the entrenched bureaucracy
of state government, to the
defenders of the status quo and
to the smug and comfortable of
our state who have it made and
are not interested in seeing
anybody else make it. '
1 was called many names
such as opportunist, publicity
seeker, welfare stater, social
ist. dictator, idiot." he listed as
a few examples
Burson said that as Welfare
director his program had been
based on four things
“First, the feeding of the
hungry and malnourished in all
159 counties; second, to train
them in some skill so that they
are able to work and support

themselves; third, to educate
the children and fourth, to pre
vent the birth of unwanted
children
“IT WAS NOT a liberal re
cord that I made but a realistic
and practical approach to wel
fare problems, he said
“I was successful in getting
enacted and implemented
model family planning and vol
untary sterilization laws and is
setting the stage in Georgia for .
what I predict is destined to
become the nation s foremost i
birth control program. Burson’
pointed out.
What is so liberal about
that 0 ' he asked "A fundamen
tal tenet of conservative
thought is to do something to
halt these births out of wedlock
that are ruining the lives of so
many young people and are
breaking down the welfare rolls
with unsupported children.
Burson asserted.
In one of the eleven points of
Burson's platform, he states
that he believes bank deposits
of public funds should be uti
lized for public good
He said that he wili confer
with the incoming governor to
pledge his full cooperation and
assistance in the development
and application of policies of
the state depositories board to
give the muximum support to
the implementation of the peo
ple's mandate to the chief exec
utive.
HI£ AIJSO SAID that he plans
to advocate that the state depo
sitories board immediately
adopt a policy of placing slate
funds only in banks that make
loans for students to attend col
lege or for low-cost housing or
those that sell food stamps
when requested by county gov
erning authorities
Another point ol Burson's
platform stresses that public
officials handling people's
money “have a moral obliga
tion to make full disclosure of
their financial status
Administrators in the* Dean
of Students Affairs office at the
University will go where the
students are" this quarter in an
effort to cut down on red tape
that may confuse students in
need of help or advice, said
Lawrence Bixbv. assistant to
the associate dean for student
advising
The plan is part of a new
concept devised by the staff of
the associate dean of student
affairs for advising. Dean Wil
liam Tate The idea involves
establishing branch locations of
the main office at points on
campus more accessible to the
flow of student traffic. Bixby
said.
The main advisement office
is now located in room 236 of
the Academic building, and
handles specific duties like
absence reports, excuses and
withdrawals, as well as general
counseling
“THE SATE LUTE offices
will perform the same func
tions." said Bixbv. assistant to
the associate dean. “But we
also hope to increase our drop
in' traffic - students who come
in fo - information on any num
ber of questions
“We will either answer the
student's questions, solve his
problem, or put him in touch
with the office or person on
campus that can. said Bixbv
Staff members began man
ning satellite offices in Park
Hall and the Forest Resources
building last week The Park
Hall location is room 68 on the
ground floor and is open from
11 a m. to 3 p.m The forestry
office is in room 213 in the older
section of the Forest Resources
building, and will be in opera
tion from 11 a m. to 2 p.m.
In addition, students may
contact members of the student
affairs staff from 8 30 a m. to 5
p.m. in the Academic building
loation
IT IS HOPED, said Bixbv
that placing staff members in
the mainstream of student life
may open communication lines
and clear up misconceptions
about the nature of the student
affairs office for advising
“We are here to serve the
student, not to hinder him or
keep him in line . he said
Yet. many still think of the
office in terms of the student in
some kind of trouble with the
administration
The branch office program,
said Bixbv. will be operating
this quarter on a trial basis
Continuation ami enlargement
will depend on its acceptance
by the students
We expect to reach a large
number of students on their
wav to and from classes, said
the assistant to the dean But.

the office and what it does be

However, all agreed with
Dale Garner, biology major
from Atlanta, who said. We re
lucky to live under such liberal
rules as compared to other
schools
None of the males, though,
considered the housing regula

to live on campus a liberal rule
A resounding no' was the
asnwer when the men were
asked if as sophomores they
wanted to live on campus
When tulkine about drugs
and alcohol the men and wom
en said their use is up to the
individual
Asked about the prevalence
of drugs on campus. Dale
said, it's not as open as I ex
pected it would be
The problem of demonstra
tions on campus did not seem to
concern the freshmen when
choosing a college Most said
that their parents warned them
not to participate in protect
demonstrations One young
lady, however, said her family
understood that she would
make her own decisions

planned to go through rush, five
said they did. but they said they
