the journal / page two / September 17,1974 editorials & opinions Journalism & Flies : Editorial Comments student demand for a course in journalism far exceeded the supply this semester, the first time journalism has been offered. A professor at registration said that about three times as many students tried to sign up as those who actually got in. There was only one section. It is hoped that administrators will recognize that the demand is there and create more sections in the spring and future semesters. The offering of this type of study will greatly improve the student media and other students interested in journalism would have the choice of enrolling.. it could be an indication of what is being taught at our University or perhaps just a subspecies trying to freeboot an education, in any event many have noticed their presence in classrooms and around food areas. Sitting in class the other day I was busily engaged in driving one of their number off and the prof thought I was trying to raise my hand to ask a question.. If you drive them off yourself they just go and light on someone else or worse yei come back. Very distracting.. Will somebody do something about all these goddamn flies? "We are no longer an emerging University." "Though not yet fully developed, we are a University in fact." Profit Should Not Be Policy Of Bookstore Article Two, Section One of the University Constitution stresses that every member of the University Community should promote the educational objectives of the University of which we all are a part. Presumably that includes people who handle the business end of the University.. Being a businessman in a University is a very difficult position to maintain. One must be very conscious of the business aspect of the job, but one must also be aware that a University is a very special place. This awareness has not been evidenced in recent months in the operation of the campus bookstore. The forced resignation of David MacAuley and the firing of "paperback orderer" Larry Williams points up a change in policy that will adversely affect both students and faculty. The current policy of the bookstore can now be summed up in a word—profit. MacAuley was a real comer on this campus until his policy of operation clashed with that of his boss , Tom Feamster. He had acheived statewide office in the campus bookstore system-and was doing the best job possible given the facilities and footdragging non-cooperation from his superiors. In other words, he was an asset to the University community. He also happened to believe in service to that conmunity. The current manager is no more than Tom Feamster's yes man and the operation and the look of the store will soon reflect massive changes and probably take on all the character of a five-and-dime or World Bazaar. Of greatest import to students and faculty wilt be the demise of the paperback section created by MacAuley and Williams. The section has drawn the unanimous praise of all who have visited it. As a useful adjunct to the educative function of the University it should not be permitted to die a quiet death. If we return to pulp and bestsellers the loss will be inestimable, both to the university and its citizens. Also a consideration in the store's current drive for profit and indeed the major incentive for this drive, is the "necessity" for a new and separate bookstore building that is to be financed with these profits. By state law all the profit from the bookstore must go into a fund for student scholarships. The spectre of a bookstore building being built with money that should go for scholarships is appalling. Surely there rhust be some other way.. The current management of the store says that it is being crowded out of the existing facility by Architecture and HDL, although HDL is planning to move into the new office classroom building which would be completed at the same time a new bookstore building could be.. Ultimately the responsibility for these changes must rest with Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Louis Moelchert. This blatant imperialistic, rip-em-off-for-all-they're-worth attitude toward the University Community should be abandoned for a more moderate course. We are a University now, remember?
