Ashland Works Smooth
Ashland High school's smooth-workin- g
basketball machine, after
a weak start, staged a comeback and
functioned almost prefectly to win
the opening game of the tournament from a fighting Tompklnsville
team, 45 to 28.
McCreary and Richardson played
great ball for the Western Kentucky team, but the fast passing and
tight Tomcat zone defense was too
much for them.
Ashland led at the half 27 to 11
and was on top 36 to 20 at the conclusion of the third period. "Red"
Craig, fleet Ashland guard, and
O'Mara, elongated center, paced the
Ashland scorers with 14 and seven
points respectively.
Male Smothers Tigers
Employing a, leisurely accurate
attack and an almost perfect defense, the Purples of Louisville Male
High school easily smothered the
Paintsville Tigers in a game that
was almost insipid, 31 to 13.
Only at very infrequent Intervals
did Paintsville threaten and their
threat passed away entirely when
Jenkins, tall center was banished
from the game on fouls late in the
second half. Roberts and Overly
were best for Male while Wells,
Paintsville forward led the losers'
attack with seven points.
Kavaliers Score at Will
Kavanaugh's Tigers inflicted the
worst defeat of the tournament upon the Guthrie team in the third
afternoon game, 47 to 8.
Kavanaugh scored almost at will

Hooft. secretary of the World Student Christian federation, to Kentucky.
Dr. Visser't Hooft is in America
for a series of conferences with
student groups for a period of five
weeks. As secretary of the W. S.

be the first representative from the
Federation to bring to this campus
the fact that the Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A. in the United States is
an actual member of the international student movements.
Since Dr. Visser't Hooft must
make his stay in Kentucky so brief,
the University organizations have

employed a different method In
dealing in used books. Under the
old system transactions were not
handled, as now, directly between
the student and the book store. Instead, used books purchased by the
store were taken by the publisher In
lieu of a shipment of new books.
In turn, these new books were sold
to students at the list price. The
new plan, Introduced by Mr. Morris,
previously had been used by several other schools. It had proved
profitable both to students and to
the bookstore.
There really Is little difference In
the rate of profit of one book store
and that of another; for more than
80 per cent of the money paid by
students goes directly to the publisher. Although some book stores

the books, a large per cent of the
profit goes to pay overhead expenses; the student salesman has
no such expenses. However, he asks
students to remember that personal
sales, in most cases, take more time
and effort. Generally, It is easier
for students to let the store handle
their used books.
It does seem to be true that books
often are resold sev?ral times for
the same prices and a good per
cent of profit gained. However, if

to

three-fourth-

the book Is kept In good condition,
this Is not to the student's disad-

vantage,
for example, if a book
listed at $3 passed through the store
five times, 3 Is made on the book.
Nevertheless, if the student can buy
the book for $2 and sell It for one,
he is paving only a dollar for a
semester's use of the book.
As to the charge that some books
d
have been sold for more
than they cost second-handethere are two explanations.
Either the book was rejuvenated
and necessitated a raise in price or
a grievous error was made. Any
the store makes, if
errors
pointed out to the management,
will be remedied immediately.
Though It is true that many
books can be purchased cheaper
second hand at the College book
store, Columbus, than at the Campus book store, the reason for this
is that a chain store can sell its
goods cheaper than an independent
merchant. However, new books, especially law books, unless bought in
large numbers, cannot be purchased
cheaper because only 10 per cent
profit is made here.
Mr. Morris la forced to sell all
books at list prices because 10 per
cent of the gross 20 per cent allow-o- n
all books, except law, must be
paid to the University. The reason for this 10 per cent return to
the University is specified in the
book store contract. Origlnolly, the
store owed the University (40.000,
which was covered by the inventory
at cost price. This debt plus the
interest is being paid by profit returns to the school.
It was computed that se'en years
would be required to pay the debt
at the rate of return estimated on
the first year's receipts. At the
end of this period, the store can be
run on its own capital. Then it
will be possible to sell books below
list price. At the present time, out
of the 10 per cent gross left to the
manager must come employees' salaries, freight, express, telegraphic
charges, advertising, printing, bond.
