Feldkamp felt a bookstore would definitely need a subsidy to get started no matter what its dis- count. He estimated that from $40,000 to $50,000 would be re- quired for fixtures and about $500,000 for the first year's texts. These figures assume a full- scale, year-around operation, not the limited, seasonal operation of previous co-op bookstores, he de- clared. Feldkamp said that consultants have estimated a bookstore would require 14,000 square feet of sell- ing space and 7,000 square feet for storage. It had earlier been thought that the bookstore might use facilities in the Michigan Union, but only 5,000 square feet of space is avail- able there. Feldkamp mentioned the pos- sibility of acquiring space in the administration building but said that many departments are al- ready clamoring for its space. Feldkamp said that the only other possibilities for acquiring plant space would lie in the con- struction of a new building or renting a building. But even these plans would require additional funds, which would have to come from a University subsidy, he said. Salaries for a full-time manager and several clerks and secretaries also increase overhead costs which would make the offering of a 10 per cent discount infeasible, Feld- kamp felt. Nationally, book merchants make a very low net profit on texts, about two to three per cent, and make their money in specialities or other areas such as real estate, he added. He cited examples of university- operated bookstores at other state schools, which either offer no dis- count or which have university subsidies: * Though the bookstore at Wayne State University offers a 10 per cent discount, the univer- sity there provides its plant space. 0 Not only does the university provide plant space for Western Michigan University's store, but no discount is offered. Profits go into a scholarship fund. " Michigan State University's bookstore receives no subsidy and offers no discount. Profits are used for other university activities. Feldkamp mentioned several sources of a possible subsidy for a University bookstore which would allow it to offer a 10 per cent discount. He said the possibility of receiv ing a private gift for the store is highly unlikely, and that it is also improbable that the Legislature would be willing to grant funds for a store, since it has stressed teaching salaries and classroom buildings. But bookstore subsidies might be appropriated from student fees or other areas of the general fund, Feldkamp mentioned. To re- ceive money from these sources, the bookstore requests would have to be submitted to the University budget committee on a par with requests from all the University's departments, he said. Whether or not the committee would be willing to recommend the allocation of funds for a book- store would depend upon the needs of other departments and the priorities established, he said. Composing the committee are the president, all of the vice- presidents except those for stu- dent affairs and university rela- tions and a number of executive assistants that the administration refuses to name. operated bookstores at other state ceive money from these sources, What's New At 764-1817 'Funds To for Residential itil 1967-68 alit U' Hotline Russell Linden, '67L, chairman of the Student Government Council off-campus housing committee and representative to the newly formed housing advisory council which will be wdrking with Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard Cutler and Vice- President for Business and Finance Wilbur K. Pierpont, said last night the council will recommend the establishment of a perma- nent research committee to keep in constant touch with students and report back their tastes and desires in University housing. Next week the council, will meet with Pierpont to discuss financial aspectshof dormitory housing. This will probably not affect current plans for North Campus construction, Linden added. Student Government Council's committee for off-campus housing is submitting to the Office of Student Affairs student- written leases. These leases, hopefully, will become official Uni- versity policy, chairman of the committee Russell Linden, '67L, commented. It is expected that students will stress eight-month rentals rather than the current 12-month plan. * * * The John Birch Society and an Ann Arbor ad hoc committee for the support of local police will pass out "Support Your Local Police" handbills Friday just before the Homecoming parade, it was announced at a meeting of Young Americans for Freedom yesterday evening. It was also announced that YAF is sponsoring a national contest with a $2000 first prize for the best essay on John Storm- er's controversial book, "None Dare Call It Treason." Tonight, Student Government Council will consider a pro- posal to establish a Sponsorship Fund, providing financial assist- ance to needy student organizations. As suggested, the fund will consist of $800 allocated from SGC general funds. In order to maintain the SGC general fund at a level sufficient to permit the Sponsorship Fund, it is proposed that SGC collect from organi- zations and groups sponsoring concerts in Hill Aud a fee (per concert) equal to three per cent! of the net profits off such con- certs. The Council will also consider a motion proposed by Inter- quadrangle Council President Lee Hornberger, '66, to rescind the motion passed by SGC supporting the case of Paul Schiff. "After further investigation it appears that Michigan State University had valid reasons for expelling him, and I think the Council should consider the matter more thoroughly," Hornberger said. * * * * Arthur Collingsworth, '66, will participate in the Symposium for Freedom in Viet Nam to be held in Washington, D.C., this Saturday. Collingsworth, who spent part of the summer in Viet Nam on a grant from the American Friends of Viet Nam, will be part of a student panel discussion on American and Vietnamese student reaction to the Southeast Asian war. The University was featured in this week's Nation magazine in an article by Christopher Lasch entitled "New Curriculum for Teach-Ins." Lasch pointed out the great affect the University teach-ins have had on the Viet Nam situation by sparking other teach-ins and discussions. However, he criticized the failure of the University teach-in to get to the heart of the problem. He considered the most important function of the teach-in should have been to find new ways to make the U.S. government change its policy in Viet Nam and to go to the heart of American foreign policy and the society that created it. This year's University teach- in :Sept. 14-18) failed in this respect, Lasch said, because it be- came too involved in quibbling over details and lost much of its spontaneity.

Richard J. Hughes, according to the Rutgers teach-in committee. The issue centers around Hugh- es' defense of the academic free- dom of Dr. Eugene D. Genovese, philosophy professor at Rutgers, earlier this year. Genovese said at a Viet Nam teach-in that he would welcome a Viet Cong vic- tory: Hughes' Republican opponent in the gubernatorial race, state sen- ator Wayne Dumont, demanded that Genovese be ousted from the state university's faculty for sedi- tion. Although a committee of the state legislature dismissed Du- mon't demand, he has pressed the issue in his campaign all summer.! commission itself should set such a standard based on present fed- eral government regulations. Also in regard to need, Lemble and Hertz argued that the city should conduct a door-to-door sur- vey with its own funds now to determine the extent of the need exactly. Hathaway argued that this w- s unnecessary since the commission would undertake this study with federal funds after its establishment - as required of it by law. In the area of control, the con- troversy was similar. Lemble de- manded that the number, type and cost of projects be delineat- ed beforehand instead of leaving it up to the commission. In regard to cost, a key factor stressed last night was the amount required from a public housing unit in lieu of taxes, after the house has been purchased by the commission and taken off the tax roll. Hertz said that this can be 'as low as five per cent in some cases, and this may result in a loss to the taxpayers. Hathaway cited the possibility that it can amount to much more than were the taxes, and pointed to Ypsilanti as an example. College Budget Date Depends On Progress Of Planning Sen.

He pointed out that the University has not as yet made any attempt to inform the Legis- lature of the nature of the pro- posed residential college which is scheduled for construction on North Campus.

Rehard Bernitt, director of MSU's Public Safety Depart- vent, said about 10 youths set up signs and began passing out mate- rial criticizing the United States' role in Viet Nam. When five refused to leave, they were arrested on charges of trespassing on state property and violating a university regula- tion against distribution of materials without a permit. State Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit), chairman of the House subcommittee on higher education of the ways and means com- mittee, said yesterday that the investigation of the University's books, begun by state auditors last July 27 following the tuition increase, will be concluded by Oct. 31. He added that his com- mittee will visit the University the first week in November and closely scrutinize the University's finances itself.
