U. W. (Associate Students of the Uni- versity of Washington), which col- lects $10 a year for student fund. Who makes the money on the books? Each term we buy books, and at close of said term, if we are lucky, receive about one-third of original cost of book (after 10 weeks’ use), and oftimes only a few cents. For instance, this summer they sold a lot of books to get rid of them (the students did not know this at Thinks School Fee Is O. K.
