85 Percent of Students
Supplied With Text Books
Virgil Bradley manager of the
H-SU bookstore announced this
weok that approximately 85 per
cent of the student body has now
been supplied with text books.
"The current shortage of texts"
Bradley continued "is the product
of various causes. Tho enrollment
of all colleges and universities are
almost double that of pre-war re-
gistrations the paper shortage short-
age of labor In tho north and strikes
all contribute."
"We spend approximately 75 dol-
lars monthly making long distance
calls and sending wires to various
parts of the nation" the bookstore
manager said. "One of the most
unique catches of the season was an
answer to a wire sent to the Univer-
sity of Harvard. The university re-
plied that they had a "back-log" of
three hundred copies of volume one
Englishd literature. We requested
only two hundred copies which
were cheerfully supplied.
"For the past month we have been
ordering books for the spring seme-
ster. Many copies are already on
our shelves. Wo would like to
guarantee everyone a text next
term or even next year but the
prospect for 1947 is not encouraging."
