Opinions Vary On Buddhist Display
By Carol Lathrop
An art exhibition of Buddhist Calligraphy was opened yesterday in Spooner Museum and received a wide range of opinions.
As each person passed the contemporary paintings of Japanese handwriting which relate to Buddhist poetry, they voiced strong likes or dislikes for the framed work.
One bewildered visitor remarked that it was impossible for any human being to create such abstraction. Others wondered how each character was written.
The invention of the writing brush in 215 B.C. made the calligraphy of today possible. Up to that time, a stylus had been used to make characters which represented physical forms. The lines made by the stylus were smooth and unmodulated.
HOWEVER, THE ORIENTAL LANGUAGE required more than mere representation of physical forms. The invention of the writing brush made possible distinct differences in line variations. By the 4th century the Japanese had perfected their written characters which are still used today.
The exhibition, which consists entirely of works of contemporary artists, ranges in styles from painstakenly clear forms to those which are cursive and free.
Some works are based on Buddist scriptures while others describe scenes of nature such as the disarray of a garden plant left untended during the writer's three-day absence from home. Others show free design based on quotas from or allusions to other writings or modes of thought and feeling.
One such work was challenged to a fencing duel by an enthusiastic visitor. In this way he tried to follow the erratic wanderings that had been left by the artist's brush.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Japan Society, and is available to them through the efforts of the Society for International Cultural Relations of Tokyo.

There has been no change in Kansas Union Book Store policy in buying back used books from students, according to James H. Stoner, manager of the bookstore.
"We have three sources of texts," Stoner said. "We buy new books from the publisher; we can buy used books from the companies represented by 'jobbers,' or we can buy used books directly from the students.
"The bookstore usually employs all three of these sources," he said, "but it is necessary to have the students' used books on hand before enrollment to supplement and insure our supply."
"THEEFORE, the only logical time that we can buy books for second semester courses is before second semester enrollment."
If an insufficient number of books are brought in by the students, the bookstore then places an immediate reorder. In this way they can usually have the additional texts available by a week after classes begin.
Stoner also took the opportunity to clear up a popular misconception of many students regarding the operation of the bookstore.
Used Book Resale Program Consistent in Bookstore Policy
"An intense and illuminating experience!"
"We are a 'profit-sharing' operation rather than a 'non-profit' one as many have thought," he said. "Books and supplies are sold at suggested retail prices."Stoner added, "but what would normally be termed as our 'profit' is returned to the student."

THIS RETURN takes two forms. Approximately $2\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of the gross sales are paid to the Kansas Union to maintain a required reserve for the bond issue on a new addition to the bookstore. Then the remainder of the profit is refunded to the students at an average rebate of 8 per cent based on the sales tickets the students have received with their purchases.
"Approximately 92 per cent of the profit available for rebate is eventually claimed," Stoner said. The remaining 8 per cent is reinvested in the operation and is used for purchases of inventory for the following semester.
Stoner also noted that while there has been no change in bookstore policy, there has been a change in the procedure of buying back used

A "JOBBER" representing Nebraska Book Company arrived in Lawrence Monday morning and was given a complete list of books which will be used on the campus the following semester. He was then instructed to repurchase these books for the bookstore at one-half the original price. The jobber himself bought books which would not be used here again for his company. These books, depending upon their condition, were bought at an average of one-fourth the original price.
"This one man handled the job with much more speed and efficiency than we had been getting out of our
old system of having two separate tables," Stoner added. He said that the line never bogged down as had been the custom in the past, and that not once did a student have to stand in line more than ten minutes.

1. My theory on looking for a job is-
   - Play it big! Shoot for the top! Go straight to the prez for your interview.
I don't know any presidents.
2. Use your head, man. Have your dad set up appointments with some of the big shots he knows.
3. Beautiful! All you have to do is find a president who likes dogs. You'll have him eating out of your hand in no time.
He's a veterinarian.
I don't know an Elkhound from an Elk.
4. Frankly, I don't know what else to tell you. You've got a problem.
5. A letter to the employment manager!
Ho ho hi! You've a lot to learn.
How then come I landed a great job at Equitable— an executive training spot that's interesting, pays a good salary and has a lot of promise for the future.
It's not as bad as it seems.
My idea is to find out the name of the employment manager at the company I'm interested in. Write him a letter telling him my qualifications. Spell out my interests, marks. Simple as that.

I'm not the president but I'll try.
