Books And Hartorid
With the beginning of the .second semester, a problem
of a most duiturbing nature presented itnelf. Books, their
condition, how »oon they could be purcha.sed and for what
price were the general points ot discu.s.sion heard over the
coffee tables and around the byways of our campug this
past week.
It needs no mentioning that books are the hub of the
wheel of any program ol education. e as students, find
it hard enough lo break the country-club atmosphere and
get into the swing of things without having the additional
Bet-back of having to wait until a semester is well under
way before receiving textbooks for a course. It would be
much more convenient for the atudents and teachers alike
if, at the beginning of a course, textbooks for that course
could be bought on the tirst day insu-ail of having to wait
a long period of time.
I hen loo, there is to be considered the problem of the
condition of the books once they arrive and are placed on
nale. It has been noticed recently that many of the texts
w<-re in a sad atate of repair. Now we are fully aware that
some students would rather purcha.se si'cond-hand books,
but we realize also, that this is not true of all the students.
A number of students, especially the veterans, would much
rather have new books since ‘'L'ncle” does not quible about
the price. There are many students who plan to center
their library around their textbooks which they use in their
college courses. Quite naturally this group, aloni( with the
veterans, would ra’.her have new books than used ones.
The counter-argument to our contentious statements might
concern itaelf with the fact that old books can be sold at a
lower price, thus benefiting students. If the statement that
there is a price advantage were true, then we would laud
the effort, but there seems to be little advantage since the
price difference between the used copies and the old one
appears, in nearly every case, to l>e very slight. One stu
dent, recently bought a book for four dollars which whs
torn from its binding and so dirty that it looked as if it
might be swarming with disease germs.
During the war, we know that it was a difficult matter
to buy new books from the publishers due to a critical
paper shortage. Production i.s now back to normal and this
can not longer be said. It would be most advantageous if
some authority in a position to remedy the situation could
work out a happy medium for the two extreme points of
view of the students who want new l>ooks and thosj* who
desire used ones. Maybe some of each type could be or
dered, thus giving to the individual student his choice,
rather than inflicting upon him a book that he does not
want. It would be well, too. if KNOUGH t>ooks could be
ordered each time!
Wo do not know the answers to all the problems di.t-
cu.<Med herein because we are not in a position to know.
Many schools, however, have handled the problem by
op<'rating a co-operative book store on a non-profit basis,
supervised by a studen: manager. Maybe such a plan could
be put into practice on our campus.

Religious Kniphasis Wook
Religious Kmpha.sis Week has come to be a tradition on
our campus. Since our college is primarily a Christian in
stitution, one week out of each school year is .set aside for
a concentrated obs«Tvance of the principles of a Christian
way of life. To bring the.se principles more into focus is
the purpose of the organizetl program of worship know to
us as Religious Kmphasis Week.
Many students of the past have thought the occasion to
be one designed wholly for the good of the Religious Kdu-
» cation majors. This is far from the truth. It is true that the
features of the Christian Church aiv pre.sented to the stu
dent. However, the pre.senlation is without the presence of
dogmatisms of any sort. That is to say that for tho.se mem
bers of our college who profess another faith or belief,
the opportunity is given that they may have time to deter
mine what they already believe or work out a new and
better religion.
In the hurry and rush of trying to get an education, we
all very often ignore the spiritual .side. If any one of us
•hould leave collcge without having worked out a belief or
religion of some .sort, then we are truly the possessors of a
one-sided education. Rel.gioiis Kmphasis Week might be
compared to a s:udy period in which you have time to read
over *he le.»son and then think about it.
One of our profes-sors on Ihe campus said that he has
•pent an entire lifetime in preparing him.self for the task of
living. Some of us might not be fortunate enough to have
a great deal of time, so it would not be a bad idea to take
advantage of a splendid opportunity to think about the
type of belief that we will need once we begin to live in
stead of prepanng to live.
The students are wholly responsible for this week of re
ligious activity. It* success or failure depends on the stu
dent* them.selvea. If we put a great amount of effort into
it, then the benefits we derivie will be in pn>portion to that
effort. It IS up to each of us to make the most of the oppor
tunity. The people in charge of the program wish to make
It known to the students that they would appreciate any
suggestions or ideas that would help make this Religious
Kmphasis Week the most successful in the history of it*
observance.
