Faculty Members Differ On High Rebate Issue By BOB FRAZIER The University Cooperative store will offer a 30 per cent rebate on purchases made in the 1946-1947 school year. Marilyn Sage, chairman of the Co-op board, announced yesterdav. Cus tomary rebate is 5 per cent. Decision to make the 500 per cent increase in rebate was made by the Co-op board, with all student members favoring the increased rebate and all faculty members dissenting. Fac ulty members of the board, Dean James H. Gilbert of the col lege of liberal arts, and Dean Orlando Hollis of the law school objected to the increased rate on the grounds that it was "not sound business policy.” M. F. McClain, manager of the store and non-voting member of the board, also objected. 13 Per Cent Reasoning of the board was that profit on the anticipated $350,000 sales volume this year could be computed at 13 per cent, giving the store a profit before taxes of $45,500. Cash reg ister receipts will have been given out on approximately $190. 000 worth of merchandise, the board reasoned, the rest being accounted for bv G. 1. book sales and by "account receivable,” • on neither of which receipts are given. Past experience has indicated that approximately 40 per cent of the receipts given out will be turned in at the end of the vear. On this basis they expect $76,000 worth of receipts to be turned back. Half Year’s Profit At this rate $22,800 will be returned to students, leaving the store $22,700, or approximately half the yearly profit. The board lias already pledged $5000 to the student union fund, still leaving more than $17,000 to the store. Taxes must be sub tracted from this. Taxes, however, are charged only on net profit, and cannot'be charged on profits turned back to mem bers of the cooperative.
