THE MICHIGAN DAlT.V -- ~ . -' * .~SATURDAY,E SEPTEMBER 7, 1963 3 RSITIES: Band Marches for Fall Debut accumulating and classifying such information differs greatly with the size and purpose of the insti- tution. Comprehensive Manual The study aims at producing a comprehensive manual to define standard methods of compiling and processing financial data which can be used by the 2100 in- stitutions of higher learning in the United States, Dr. Swanson pointed out. The project's staff will probably base its conclusions on work with 100 institutions ranging from the small liberal arts college to the large university and from the tech- nical institution to the state teach- er's college, he said. "We want. to use a sampling of universities which represent all the variety of admissions policies and courses." Other Directors In addition to Dr. Swanson, the project's professional staff will in- clude two associate directors, Wes- ley Arden, currently director of the Institution of Cost Analysis at Pur- due University, and Homer E. Still, Jr., director of higher education for the Florida State Budget Com- mission. Lawrence Owen, formerly with the Kentucky state budget office will act as research assist- ant. Dr. Swanson, formerly director of institutional research at Au-1 burn University, has also been a1 university faculty member, a di- rector of governmental and fiscal research and a higher education analyst for the Florida State Budg- et Commission. In addition to the permanentt staff, the project has an advisoryf board made up of nine personsf who represent the three sponsor-I ing associations.I LOST CUSTOMERS: Lack of Sto By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM "Interest has been shown, but the books just haven't been here." Thus Maureen Byers, United States National Student Associa- tion campus program director, de- scribes the basic plight of the NSA co-operative bookstore which opened last week. Miss Byers was referring to the limited amount of books in stock. Unable To Buy Currently co-managing the store, she explained that about 500 per- sons have purchased books thus far. However, an estimated 2000 persons were unable to buy books there and were forced to buy else- where because of lack of stock, she said. "The 'lost' customers wanted to buy from us. Most of these people inquired if we were going to get in the books they wanted. Then they would ask, If we can't find them in another store can we or- der them from you?'" Roughly half of the purchases made in the store were by mail order, she estimated. Under the co-operative's non-profit system, all books acquired at the store are subject to a "patronage refund," an automatically computed and distributed division of the profits. Imperative Need Although customers want to save money, "they often need their books immediately," Miss Byers said. "We do not intend to be primar- ily a mail-order bookstore." It will take time to acquire capital and establish credit with the publish- ing houses," she said. Miss Byers expressed hope that Eck Hinders USNSA Store the in-store stock of books, ap- proximately $7000 at the store's opening this year, can be raised to about $60,000 by next semester. Book Savings The store is located at 330 Nickels Arcade on the third floor. It offers students savings of 10- 40 per cent on text books, paper- backs, regular novels and type- writers. It is one of four USNSA co-op bookstores that have opened this year on college campuses across the nation. The original one was started at the University of Chi- cago three years ago. Students there took to the idea. This led to the USNSA interest in the project resulting in the expan- sion this year. In addition to the University and Chicago co-operatives, bookstores at Northwestern and Illinois are opening this year under USNSA control. The bookstore hopes to take ad- vantage of the "known dissatis- facti6n of University students with Ann Arbor bookstore prices." Past attempts to organize stu- dent bookstores had been thwart- ed by the Regental policy of not according special advantages to "co-operative mercantile organi- zations within University build- ings." There is currently a student book exchange which trades and sells used books, but it is pro- hibited to sell new books.

The conference, scheduled for October 25-27, will consist of around 200 delegates. Petitioning for delegate positions will open next week, and any student or fac- ulty member may apply. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN r The heart of the conference will be 16 discussion groups, each cov- ering one of a diverse assortment of topics relating to University life. Members of each discussion group will first receive working papers providing factual background on their subject. Then during the con- ference the group will, in effect, have a "bull session" on the sub- ject, evaluating the status qua, examining new ide s and wander- ing off on whatever tangents seem appealing. Finally, whatever con- sensus the discussion groups reach will be written up and circulated among University decision-makers and other interested parties. No Experts Conference chairman Diane Leb- edeff, '65, emphasized that dele- gates need not be experts on the subjects to participate in discus-( sion groups. She noted that a ma- jor function of the conference is to get more students and faculty members interested in and familiar with University issues, as well as to come up with policy recommen- dations. Other conference events will in- clude a banquet and various speak- ers. The tentative agenda for the conference includes, on Friday, Oct. 25, the keynote speech at 3 p.m., discussion group sessions at 4 and 8 p.m. and the banquet and speech at 6 p.m. Discussion groups will meet again at 9:30 the next, morning, and the entire confer- ence will convene at 11:30 a.m. for a summing-up session. Meet Informally On Sunday, Oct. 27, discussion groups may meet informally at delegates' homes for a group dis- cussion summing-up. This year's conference is being held early in the fall instead of late in the spring so as not to con- flict with the heavier academic pressures at the end of the semes- ter, Miss Lebedeff added. All dele- gates will be selected on an at large basis, instead of by college or living unit as was done last year. Discussion-group topics include effective teaching, image and re- sponsibility of the University, the University and social change, the University's effect on its students, University decision-making, finan- cial support, the student outside the classroom, relationship ofj graduate and undergraduate edu- cation, problems of expansion, the faculty outside the classroom and admissions policy. The Conference on the Univer-! sity Steering Committee which has been meeting regularly since last spring is currentl yworking on fin- al agendas and inviting speakers.
