Books can be brought in any time between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Books will be put on sale for the price which the owner chooses. SBX does not buy or sell the books but merely acts as the agent for the sale of books from student to student, Robert B. Gunn, '61, SBX manager emphasized. Also beginning today students can purchase books. Today and tomorrow the SBX will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Next week it will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. There are a large number of the books on hand for English 23, Gunn commented. On the whole these are at least one dollar cheaper than the stores. Besides the English books, he added- there are books for just about all non- professional courses. In addition to books this year we have lab kits for many of the -natural science courses and even one kit for en- gineering drafting, he said. Students going to the SBX can obtain free book covers.

CHICAGO () -- The first re- sults of the nation's biggest talent hunt are beginning to show. Of the 556 boys and girls who were sent off to college on Nation- al Merit Scholarships in 1955, 19 covered the four year route in three years. Many are wearing Phi Beta Kappa keys and other sym- bols of outstanding records. They were members of the first class of scholars sponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corp., which awards scholarships - pro- vided by business - to needy stu- dents. Happy With Performances John M. Stalnaker, president of the Merit Scholar organization, says the group is "intensely grati- fied with the superlative perform- ance of our early graduates." "They have more than justified the faith that was placed in them," he says, "and their bril- liant record is a vote of confidence in the high schools which were primarily responsible for their sound and adequate preparation and for their families who do so much in the development of atti- tudes and values." James L. Bloomer, a Merit scholar from Knoxville, Tenn., and his chemistry professor at the University of Tennessee invented and patented a portable glass evacuation chamber used in chemical experiments. One Baltimore youth, studying under a grant from the Sears Roe- buck Foundation, blithely reported, he had little time for extra-cur- ricular activities while in college. He spent most of his time working on a project for the Atomic En- ergy Commission instead. Wins Award Maurice M. Bursey, who gradu- ated from John Hopkins Univer- sity, put together a study of "Al- kali Metal Salts of Etioporphyrin II" which won an award from a .,_ _ _ _ _ student affiliated group of the American Chemical Society. And chemistry isn't all. The honor society in political econ- omy gave him an award for the highest average among its newly elected members, and the philos- ophy faculty awarded him a fel- lowship. Like most of the Merit scholars, Bursey plans to work for advanced degrees. He will report to John Hopkins again this fall, seeking a master's and doctorate in organic chemistry. Are Merit scholars really so much smarter than everyone else, or do they just work harder? One official says it must be a combin- ation of both. "They must have great native ability," the spokesman says, "and a lot of discipline for hard work and study as well. Neither one, by itself, will get them through." The scholars are by no means 100 per cent bookworms. A Louisi- ana winner was the only married Babbidge To address Meeting Homer D.

Teagle of Baton Rouge ran through a pre-medical course of study at Louisiana State University indthree years, was a dean's list student and a member of the pre-medical society. She intends to enter the LSU medical school in September of 1960. She's expecting a baby this fall. One of the Merit scholars, Wil- liam M. Boyce of Tallahassee, Fla., began classes at Florida State University and fell in love with another winner one year behind him in school.. They were soon married. Boyce and his wife, the former Susie Ann Blackburn of Mobile, Ala., will return to studies at FSU this fall. He was a Phi Beta Kappa member and a cum laude gradu- ate this spring. The National Merit Scholarship organization, with headquarters in nearby Evanston, was estab- lished under grants from the Ford and Carnegie Foundations, which provided 20% million dollars for managerial work and some educa- tional aid 'as well. The funds used for the 745 cur- rent scholarships are mostly pro- vided by more than 90 firms across the nation that sponsor from one to 300 of the awards and contrib- ute about five million dollars an- nually for the program. Most of the scholars attend pri- vate colleges, and Harvard Uni- versity has been the favorite. Almost 75 per cent of the schol- ars are boys. And an overwhelm- ing majority are products of the nation's public school systems, Syrian Expert To Give Tals A Syrian professor' will teach Near Eastern history at the Uni- versity this year.

The suit was filed by attorneys for Clarence Christie, father of Kirk Christie in whose name the suit is being brought. The suit charges that the boy was seriously injured on Sept. 13, 1953, when he fell out of a Uni- versity Hospital crib which was left unattended. As the result of the alleged ac- cident, the youth underwent skin grafts which the father claims were "performed by agents of the defendant in a careless and negli- gent manner."
