On ;the ayerage; approximately
3,000 ? Summer;:. School; students
wander., in, and . out of the
Court soda fountain and supply,
area each day, During the winter
this figure soars to; almost? 5,000.
When., Y-Court was first- estab
lished; back, in; 1914, it served the
University as a canteen. : and
place? to, swap old text books.
But as the student body began, to :
grow, v the Y-Court Book; . Ex
change was compelled, to seek,
greneer- pastures, u . ;
So . during . World. .War: II a.
Small building called ; the Scut
tlebutt was erected across from
where .Peabody Hall stands, to
eaten to the fraternity section
and the education and commun
ication, centers. Mr. II. R. Rit
chie,,, Director of. UNC Book
stores explained that the instani
taneous. success of this ideally
located canteen, was due to the
ParisianJike atmosphere of tables
and chairs spread, out on the ter
race in front.
Since Y-Court was totally in
adequate to handle the tremend
ous volume of books exchanged
each day, the UNC Booketeria
was set up in the basement of
Steele Building.
Seeing a definite, need for a
canteen to serve the eastern por
tion of the campus, the Univer
sity tore down its shabby wood
en hut on Emerson Field and
moved into the Monogram Club
building. Besides serving as a
reception room for pre-flight
trainees during the war, a small
room was set aside to redupli
cate the use of the Scuttlebutt.
A unique feature of this can
teen is that adorning the walls
is a parade of circus animals
carved in wood by Carl Buett
cher, a German wood carver
employed, by. the University. Al
though the designer of this room
was the famous writer . William .

famous for Italian foods

Meade Prince, the original idea
was conceived by the late Billy
Carmichael, vice-president of. the
'Consolidated . University. .'Here
again, on the patio of the Circus
Room are chairs and tables
f which add to the popular open- -'air
atmosphere.-
" After' dwelling for a while on
the history of the Circus. Room
and the Scuttlebut,. Mr. Ritchie,
turned, his attention to books.
"What the students dpn't realize.
' so often is the. fact that we. (the.
UNC; Booketeria) .are giving
them the fairest, deal possible on
their' used book,"-he emphasiz-
"ed.
' When. a. student, brings a sec
ond hand, book back to the Book-,
eteria he is automatically, given.
50 per cent of the original value.
- t If the text is out of print or will
not be used the following semes
ter, then the price is proportion
ally less. Most of the used texts
are re-conditioned by the Booke
teria and sold at a 75 per cent of
their original value. , ,.
Questioned as to whether- or
not this is common practice, Mr.
Ritchie stated that you will find
this done at the University of
Tennessee, . . U.S.C., or Duke. .
When, the Booketeria purchases
a book , from , the publishing
house, they: are allowed only a,.
20 per cent reduction in cost.
. Since the Booketeria is r- .
quired by the University to stock
all textbooks requested by the
professors, he said that many
timeg it takes a sharp loss in
sales. Whereas a private book
store such as The Intimate is in
the business, to make money the
. Booketeria has a responsibility
to the student. Hence there are
textbooks from all over the world
on the campus bookstore, shelves.
How many books are on. the
campus? Is the teacher a. strict,
carver of the text? Are the
, fraternity libraries well stock-

- ed? These, are only some of the
questions which are the constant
headaches of Mr. Ritchie in. se
lecting books, for the students. -'
."The faculty is the total au
thority, . and we the tUNC-
Booketeria). are at iheuvmercy,"
Mr. Ritchie pointed out. J"Text-
books- are similiar to corn and
tomatoe in that they can all go
bad." Many times a certain de
partment will reject a textbook
after-a few weeks and-then-the
- Booketeria will' have its shelves
. oyerstocked with texts that may
never be used at .the University
again. -
Mr: Ritchie feels that his big-
. gest complaints come from the
incoming freshmen who have not .
.yet realized, that the book busi-.
ness is not a lucrative one and
that many years the Booketeria
only manages to break even in
their sales. .
Director. Ritchie, a. graduate of,
Carolina and employed by the
University since 1935, cited the
war veterans as the best class
because they- did- not throw their -money
into cars and dating but
. rather saved, a, good portion of
it for books.
In .summing, up, Mr. Ritchie, .
one time president of the Na- ,
tionaV Association , of College .
Stores, expressed the desire for
a more extensive Y-Court soda :
fountain and supply area once
the new student union is con
structed on Emerson Field; -
