By Lynda Lane
In response to student pro­tests
concerning the University
of Louisville Campus Book Store,
the Arts and Sciences Student
Council two weeks ago set up a
student book exchange based on
the consignment system. It has
been a success.
"It's been tremendous," com­mented
Ernie Allen, chairman of
the committee in charge of the
Exchange. "Student response has
been enormous."
During the highest point of
business the Exchange handled
an average of $1,000 worth of
books a day. Students have been
known to save as much as $5.00
per book on purchases. Profits,
also, are grea.ter as the recom­mended
selling price of a book
is two thirds of the original price.
The Campus Book Store buys
used books for one half the origi-
No more 'Yankee, go home'
Law student · recalls Peace Corps
By Nancy Tribble
F ore i g n governments aren't
saying "Yankee, go home!" to the
Peace Corps. In fact, their re­quests
for volunteers have sent
Peace Corps recruiters to Amer­ican
campuses to find the more
than 10,000 trainees needed for
1967 programs.
Now operating in 52 countries
and territories, the Peace Corps
has come a long way from its
humble beginning six years ago.
With little more than 600 volun­teers,
the fledgling group then
launched two pilot projects in
Ghana and Columbia. Currently,
over 12,000 PVC's are on overseas
duty, including 19 former Univer­sity
of Louisville students.
The large increase in Peace
Corps workers is a matter of con­cern
for former PCV Creighton
Mershon, a UL Law School jun­ior.
Mershon sees "a danger of
sacrificing quality for numbers"
as the Peace Corps attempts to
fulfill world-wide demands for
volunteers.
A high school teacher in Vene­zuela
from 1963-1965, Mershon re­calls
that the Corps was "smaller
and more personal" then. "There's
too much red tape now," he ob­serves.
The jump in enlistment figures
is the most obvious but not the
only change to be seen in the
Peace Corps' short career. No
longer is there as much emphasis
on classroom training for volun­teers.
While still centered on the
college campus, the training pro­gram
now attempts to give
trainees practical ~experience
which could not be obtained in
the classroom.
Field work for a PCV may take
them to Israeli Kibbutzim (coop­erat'lve
farms), Spanish Harlem,
or even Puerto Rican rain forests.
And in the classrooms things
have changed for PCV's-in-train­ing.
Scholarly -professors are in­creasingly
being succeeded by re­turned
volunteers with first-hand
experience, and the traditional
student-teacher relationship .is be­ing
replace by seminars anJd dis­cussion
groups.
The Peace Corps has also de­emphasized
physical conditioning

nal price and sells them for three
fourths of the origmal amount.
To handle the large amount of
cash and to facilitate the ope~ra­tion
of the consignment system
the Student Council even set up
a special checking account. Books
may be purchased with checks as
1well as cash. All checks should be
made out to the Student Book
Exchange.
James O'Brien, manager of the
Campus Book Store, expressed his .
reaction to the student-run Ex­change:
"I think it's a good deal.
It satisfies the students and · has
taken the pressure off us." Those
who feel they do ' not get fair
prices for their books at the Book
Store can now take them to· the
Exchange. But if they don't want
to wait for their money, they
can sell their books to the Book
Store for the set price.
In fact, O'Brien remarked that
the Book Store has been buying
back more used books this sem­ester
than in previous years. In
spite of this, the Exchange is get­ting
a bigger response than he
expected. But he said, "I think
we (UL) are big enough for · two
of us. I don't think . the Exchange
hurt us and if it' satisfies the stu­dents,
it should be C0°ntiriued."
Vice-president -Woodrow Strick­ler,
also stated that "if the stu­dents
are satisfied with the · Ex­change,
they should continue to
run it."
The Book Exchange will be
open every day next week from
11:00 a .m. to 1:00 p.m .• and from
6:30 to a:oo p.m. for University
College ·students. According to
Ernie Allen, .students ·should stop
in the first of the week to check
on their books.
