THE BOOK STORE sold 520,000 worth of text books this year. Here Bertha Uhlendorff, book store head, is selling a book to Betty Houliston. In the back- ground is Les Elliott, one of the store's four student workers. Because the store doesn't try to operate for profit it's able to sell everything at ten per cent less than the market price. DONALD DICKASON, assistant business manager of the college is one of the busiest men of the campus. The photographer stopped everyone who came into his oifice for five minutes, and then took this picture. These people waiting for Dickey's counsel are tleit to rightl Bob Kerr: Bob Iohnson, college painter: John Handloser: Cody, janitor at Taylor hall: Mrs. Shafer, Mr. Dickason's secretary: and a salesman. ren. ,, -r-as ,, :mfg 9 -3 -F, .7 . -,v,.-.'.T t'1,......,,- .,-. m..,.. l MCE lla 11 'iiixfktk , Q, 52. ,PQ 'fi gi 13 'J i jf' I vi' ha.. ....... se... .Lf sf-.. .,. ze... ...ef at-....e' .gy .ia n' .J.'X.l.-y ' gigs- ay .-:,gg,Q-fq,,p,- cnwfzil ll is Ci Being assistant business manager is like sitting on top of an elephant and leading the cumbersome beast forward. This may sound like a circus and it is, but then again it isn't. That is, it's like managing a three ring circus, but then that's no circus. Mr. Dickason has to see to such various duties as supervising plumbing, landscap- ing, carpenter Work, and putting handles back on Douglass doors, not to mention running the book store, which in turn sells everything from desk lamps to peanuts. Of course, Miss Bertha Uhlendorff has actual management of the book store and the peanuts, but then Mr. Dickey has the supervision of Miss Uhlendorff. ls Purchasing' Iiqent Perhaps the more difficult part of his Work is in purchasing the supplies that every day flow into Wooster. Office supplies for the Ad. building, pianos for the conservatory, Windows for Kenarden, text books for the students, and blue books for the professors, all must be ordered by Mr. Dickason. By taking the text book as a case in point, one can easily illustrate the central position that Dicky holds. He orders the books, he sells the books, then buys them again for resale, and the circle is completed. All of which proves that it is a big busy position on which the only 'circles We would complete would be those we'd get under our eyes.
