Long envied by the students of other col- I N leges, the professional students are fortunate in that they have a co-operative bookstore 3 I . which reduces considerably the expenses of their education. A person can join the book- -W-b--W . W -W --I store for a small fee, and then all profits from the sale of books are divided among the members according to the amount of their purchases. lt has been estimated that if an f'T'T'--'-TTTT-TTTTTMT--TI engineering student joins when he is a freshman and buys all his books from the book- store, he can pay for his senior year books from the dividends he receives. s I E I 2. This co-operative bookstore was originally NAME CHANGE I the Engineers' Bookstore, but when it combined with the Business School Bookstore ' I I w last year, it changed its name to the Professional Colleges' Bookstore. The name was J I nu,-,,,,.,,,.,,..,.-.M selected from those submitted in a contest. fi -I 3. Control of the Bookstore is vested in the I Professional Colleges, Bookstore Board.

The bookstore sells stationery, books, lab- oratory equipment, and instruments to all students, but it deals particularly in engineering, medical, dental, nursing, and business material. One of the functions of the Bookstore is to serve as an outlet for the publications of the University Press. It is the only place that many of the faculty's books and pamphlets may be obtained. 1 .

Although the Board in Control of Student Publications receives little publicity about its work, it is a representative body elected by the students, and as such it directs and approves of the policies of the various all- university publications. It is in ultimate control of the type of work done by each of the staffs, and can force a publication to discontinue any procedure of which it does not approve. 2. Perhaps the hardest job that the Board has to do is choose the editors and business managers of the Daily, Ski-U-Mah, Gopher, and Literary Review. Each spring the Board receives from prospective candidates appli- cations which contain statements of eligibility and plans and policies which they intend to carry out. Each applicant appears before the Board and presents his platform, and from these applicants the Board selects the heads of the publications. 3. Throughout the year the Board supervises the management of the various publications. Budgets must be presented to the Board for approvalg each editor and business manager must make a monthly report on the progress and work of his staff, and plans for the future must be approved. Prohts from the publications are kept in a reserve fund which is controlled by the Board. 4. Each spring the Board of Publications re- wards the hard work of the staff members by giving a banquet and dance for the workers and their guests. After a good steak dinner, they relax and enjoy a few speeches and a hilarious razz sheet that is distributed. At this time also, gold keys are awarded to the seniors who have done work of outstanding merit.

EXECUTIVE BODY for student nurses is the Nurses Self Gov- ernment Association made up of nurses from University hospital, General hos- pital in Minneapolis and Miller hospi- tal in St. Paul. Each hospital has its own house council including the presi- dent, a social chairman and the presi- dents of the class.

One of the high-lights of the social season is the annual winter formal at the Curtis hotel.
