Co-Op Book Store Will Be on Ballot at Spring Election
Committee to Present Data Concerning Operation of Similar Plan Elsewhere
The question of a co-operative book store and the method of handling it will be presented to the students at the coming spring election, according to the committee which has been investigating the question.
Repares have been obtained from 150 co-operative university and college book stores located in 40 states, and all but one attempt has been successful. This case, in Nebraska, was because the departments of the University were so widely separated that many stores would have been needed.
Hand'e Varied Stocks
The reports indicated that the stores handed a wide variety of merchandise including clothing, furniture, candy, cups and gowns, dance programs and favors, antiques, pennants, and fruit as well as books of fiction, texts, manuals, second hand books, and general literature.
There were different ways of disposing of the profits, 31 put it back into the business; 27 distributed it to the students; 6 credited it to college funds; others used it to enrol scholarships or gave it back to the customers at the time of purchase. One hundred of these stores are located on university property.
Several Plans Here
Several plans have been suggested for such a store at the University of Kansas. One is to sell stock to the students, probably at the time of enrollment. Dividends would be payable at the end of each semester and the funds would be deposited for portation at the time of graduation or withdrawal. Under this system it would be necessary to have a manager. Some of the stores started without capital, bought supplies on 60-day credit, sold for cash and were able to discount their bills. Others have had financial backing by faculty members
The question of text book prices has been discussed on the campus for some time and a committee composed of faculty members and representatives from the Men's Student Council and W, S. G., A. appointed to invite students to situation at other colleges and universities, has submitted this report.
Owl Deadline Is April 3
"Cinder-Ella" Number Will Be Last of Year
April 8 is the deadline for all copy for the "Cinder-Ella" number of the Sour Owl. This will be the last number of the Sour Owl for the school year, said Guy Graves, c27, editor, and will contain 32 pages. Five numbers of the Sour Owl have already appeared and it was thought best to omit the seventh number because of the size of the school year and because of the spring fever which is afflicting the student body.
Contributors are urged to turn in their copy on or before the deadline in order that it may be used in this number, said Graves this morning.
A considerable amount of materia will be needed for the "Cinder-Ella" number because very few exchanges are to be used, he said.
The checks for contributors to the "Mother Goose" number of the Sour Owl total nearly $50.
Redwood Will Be Grown in East
Longeburg, Vd., March 24—First experiments in planting California redwood in the east for commercial purposes will be made shortly, when a small shipment of redwood seedlings is moved to a site other than another national forest of Virginia, H. M. Sears, superior of Natural Bridge forest, has announced. The redwood will be planted on Back Run, near Natural Bridge, in the local forest. It will be given a tryout on use of the other Virginia reserves.

Meet This Week With Nebraska Is Thirteenth of Year; Ten Are Won
Women's Rifle Team Begins on Last Match of Successful Season
The University of Kansas women's rife team is meeting the women's rife team of the University of Nebraska in a prion position match this week, as well as second of the year with Nebraska and third of the season. It is the last one for the Kansas team and closes a most successful season, according to Sgt. W. J. Heiber, who has been an active member of the women at the indoor range.
The schools with which the Kansas women's team has shot matches are University of Maryland, University of Nebraska, University of Vermont Carnegie Institute, University of Washington, University of South Dakota Michigan State College, Oklahoma A. & M., University of Cincinnati, University of Missouri, University of Idaho, and Gettyburg College. Kansas won ten out of the eleven NCAA championships by the University of Washington and the University of Maryland.
The women's rifle team furnishes one of the few means for women to participate in inter-season competition. The great interest in the sport is indicated by the large number of women who try out for the team each year, Sergent Huber said. The women who make the team spend considerable time in practice, and some of them go in battle order to do their work for the队 in representing Kansas against schools of other states.
Plans are being considered for having the women of the team spend a day on the outside range, where they may shoot on the 600-foot range with regular 38 caliber army rifles in last year, and the project was such a success that it is probable the experience will be repeated this year. Sergeant Herman said,
