Orientation, Increased Book Prices Freshmen Learn First Lessons Fall semester classes started Aug. 27 with most students settled in Kirksville by Aug. 26-particularly the freshmen who gathered at 9 a.m. for the first orientation session. The formal program, in Baldwin Auditorium, featured Student Senate President Rod Libby who in- troduced the academic division heads and various administrators. Also welcoming the freshmen were President Charles I. McClain and Dean of Student Affairs james R. Ritter. Representatives of the larger campus organizations-including members from Mens' Dorm Council, Womens' Dorm Council, Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council and Student Activities Board-spoke to the freshmen. After the program freshmen gathered in Red Barn Park for a pic- nic featuring roast pig and fried chicken. Servers for the meal were administrators, division heads and faculty members, giving freshmen an opportunity to interact with other members of the University com- munity. Survival played during the picnic, and later that day at the street dance behind the SUB. In between sessions, the freshmen were free to look over the campus and join the majority of other students ins the Campus Bookstore purchasing books and supplies. As students bemoaned the book store prices, Paper shortages, sugar shortages and textile shortages were the reasons for the inflationary prices in the university owned bookstore, said Harry Baldwin, bookstore manager for the past nine years. The Campus Bookstore is the only place students can purchase their textbooks. In February, the Stu- dent Senate Inquiry Team started an investigation of the Bookstore. Team members met with Dean of Ad- ministration Ray E. Klinginsmith, as a first step. The profits of the bookstore are used to pay off the interest and in- debtedness of the SUB, said Baldwin. Ninety per cent of the textbooks sold shows a 20 per cent gross profit. This profit is used to pay all salaries, a percentage of utilities, and freight and postage costs in and out on all books. Price increases are due to the paper shortage and a 10 per cent labor increase, said Baldwin. Prices are still expected to go up four or five per cent and level off by summer. Candy and soft goods both went up 33V3 per cent this fall. We try to carry besides re- quired textbooks and school supplies, items that students need and like to see in the bookstore, said Baldwin. ks N item ' C rd- s..
