But this is a matter over which the University has n o control . But it is a matter which UBC students, in conjunction with the students of all other Canadian universities do , or at least could, have some control . It is a matter which NFCUS, the uniting body o f Canadian university students, should take action on . UBC sells books as cheap as it possibly can . If the lis t price of a book is $5, UBC will get it for list price les s 20 percent . It will then mark the book back up 20 percen t to cover all costs of handling and sell it to students for $5 . But the majority of books sold at UBC are publishe d in the United States or Britain, And the publishers do no t sell their books directly to the University . UBC must purchase them thrugh publishers agents in Canada . If UBC sends an order to a publishing house in England the house will send the order to its Canadian agen t to fill . If the book were shipped directly to UBC from England they could be sold for approximately 15 percent less . II' the bookstore orders a text from the University o f Washington Press, 160 miles away, the U . of W . Press wil l send the order to its agent in Toronto, who will then shi p the book to UBC . If the Toronto agent does not have the book it wil l write the U . of W . have the book shipped to Toronto an d then ship it to UBC . And UBC students bear the costs . Some agents will get hooks from publishing house s for list price less 50 percent, mark it back up to list price , tack on a 20 percent markup of their own and then shi p the book to the Universilies . It is not uncommon fur an agent to buy a $5 hook fo r $3 and list it out to U13C at $+6 . Mr . Hunter pointed out that whenever possible UB C avoids dealing with agents with exhar'bitant markups . Many UI3C professors enquire whcthcr• a certain boo k must be purchased through an agent before they assign i t for a course . But purchasing a texbunk is not like purchasing a ha t and all older to obtain the right hook it is usually necessar y to deal with an agent .

We question the figures presented to UBC students i n support of a $2 fee increase for athletics . A full $2' from each student is not needed to maintai n the present athletic program without a deficit . MAA contends that the increase,'which would give al l students a "free" athletic card, would exactly equal the yearl y athletic deficit and the revenues which would he lost withou t student gate receipts and 'income from Athletic privileg e cards . But the increase would more than cover it . MAA claims a $3785 dollar deficit, says that student gat e receipts are $2500 and states that present athletic cards sale s brng in $3300 . If these figures are correct, MAA would need a total of $9585 to provide free athletic cards and operate without' a deficit . Yet a $2 fee increase for this purpose would bring MA A more than $12,000 . Next sessions enrollment will definitel y be over 6000 . , Perhaps students are in favour of compulsory athleti c cards . Perhaps students are willing to be clubbed into increas- ing the athletic program by being presented with a fait d ' accomplai in the form of a deficit . But we're sure they won't want to give MAA an increased cash grant to an expanded pro ,i ram — not without at leas t providing a corresponding grant to other student activities , Tomorrow's Thank s We hope the full significance of the Provincial Government's land grant to the University has not gone wrap- , preciated by students .
