Preparatory work in the basement bowling alley of Graham Memorial is nearly completed, Jones reports, and the store will be ready to open on time. Bill Cochrane, Graham Memor ial director, has promised full aid in preparation for the debut of Caro lina s second student cooperative. Briefly, the operating plan that will be followed is this. Students who have second hand books that they wish to sell will bring them to the co-op, nam ing the price that they wish to receive. The co-op will resell the book and re turn the selling price, less ten cents for operating expenses, to tne origi nal owner. "These plans may be changed as the actual problems of operation are met," Jones said. Student Welfare "This project is being undertaken purely for the, welfare of the students and they alone can make it work properly," said Maury Kershaw, who is working with Jones on the under taking. "Student support is vital. With it, we may eliminate the low re-sale value that books receive under the present system," Kershaw added.
