Union Bookstore Survives Between-Semester Rush
The Student Union Bookstore was undoubtedly one of the busiest places on the campus during enrollment, surpassing Strong Hall and the Student Union Ballroom if capacity for students is considered. Pictured above is Mrs. Lucy Ann Pursley, '55 graduate, as she reaches for a last edition.
Over 3,000 students passed through the bookstore on Wednesday, the biggest day, as students prepared for Thursday's classes.
Business as compared with previous semesters was better this semester and when you consider that $18,000 in rebates incurred for last semester, that's a considerable amount of business.
The idea that the bookstore is a
non-profit business is essentially. True of the 20 per cent profit made on books and supplies, 10 per cent goes back to the students as rebates and the other 10 per cent is used for the managing of the store
The general manager of the bookstore, Jack Newcomb, is a graduate of the School of Education of the University. Mr.Newcomb bases his orders of books and supplies each semester on requirement lists he receives from the departments and on evaluation of past enrollments orders the amount of books for the bookstore.
Between 45 and 50 extra employees were added to take care of this semester's rush, which is expected to subside this week.

Centralization Is Object Of Bailey Hall Move
To centralize classroom space on the campus and to centralize the language arts in one building were two things cited by George Smith, Dean of the University, as objectives in the recent moving program begun into Bailey Hall.
"The present move is the beginning of a plan which sees Strong Hall as a big classroom building for freshman and sophomore courses," Dean Smith said. "With the exception of administrative offices, all the rooms will be utilized for classes when the move is complete."
The offices of the department of Romance languages will be moved to Fraser Hall, providing four large rooms for classes in Strong Hall. English, Latin, Greek, the Germanic languages, and French will be centralized in Fraser when the move is complete.
The tower rooms in Fraser on the fourth, fifth and sixth floors will be closed, and the offices that are now there will be moved to the third floor or to the basement rooms vacated by the Education Reading Program offices. The heads of the language departments are now meeting with the architects to plan the rearrangement and remodeling of Fraser, some of which will start immediately, with the remainder to be completed this summer.
"Ever since KU opened, the question has been what areas should be used where," Dean Smith said. "One of the objectives in answering the question is to centralize the subject matter areas in the way in which students use those areas in their schedules."
When Franklin D. Murphy became chancellor, he set up a planning council which made reports and brought together ideas concerning what buildings would be needed in the future. A sub-committee was organized to propose what should be done with the space vacated by moves such as the one to Bailey. When these committees have voiced their proposals, the chancellor makes the final decision, the dean said.
Dean Smith said that it is necessary to think more than one year in advance because of the fast changes in needs and conditions. Therefore, no final decisions will be made except the allocation rooms in Fraser and the space vacated by the Guidance Bureau, which is now in Bailey Hall. Half of the space formerly used by the Guidance Bureau will be used for mathematics classrooms and half for political science.

Robert L. Davis, from the University of Michigan, will speak to the Mathematical Colloquium at 4 p.m. today in 203 Strong Hall.
