mountains and desert areas. It is from the collection of Carol Cross’
graduate student in Ecology.

stated Miss Cross. “Art and science are merely two sides of the same
coin. The function of a natural object determines its shape and its
shape is reflected in its design.”

Domestic exchange program taking applications
University students now have the opportunity of studying at seven
exchange universities throughout the country, through the Domestic

according to the International Education Center (IEC).
Available schools include the Universities of Alabama; Massachu
setts, and Montana; Grambling College (Louisiana); Paterson State
College (New Jersey); Montana State University; and Illinois State

of New York.
Applications will soon be available in the IEC office, 318 EMU.
Applicants will be selected on the basis of space available. Students
having questions should check at the IEC or contact Ed Gallagher

Senate discusses Co-op,
questions finances, prices
By RANDY BARBANO
Of the Emerald
ASUO Senators began looking
into the University Co-op Mon
day, when they discussed the
financial situation of the store
with C. L. Henson, the manager.
Jim Tiger, an ASUO Senator,
explained that the meeting was
a preliminary gathering to estab
lish good relations with the Co-op
before the Senate starts its more
complete investigation.
Most of the discussion involved
finances. One of the Senators’
major complaints was that the
Co-op was “a rich man’s store.”
However, Henson said, in soft
goods, such as sweatshirts, the
Co-op is far below its competi
tors in price, but in items like
toothpaste the co-op is “only ac
commodating the students.”' We
can’t hope to compete.”
“Around 75 per cent of our
sales have fixed prices,” he said.
Books, for example, are marked
up 20 per cent by the publishers,
Henson said. The Co-op needs a
17.6 per cent mark up to cover
the cost of overhead and since
there is a 10 per cent rebate,
Henson said, the Co-op loses
money on book sales. “The lower
floor supports the second floor,”
he said.
Among the things the sena
tors listed as too expensive were
records. Henson explained that
many of the stores buy direct,
but the Co-op goes through a
Tack-jober’ as a matter of con
venience, “since we don’t have
NASA response
encouraging for
lunar art idea i
The outlook for an “art gal- |
lery” on the moon is bright.
That is the view of John Mans
field, University graduate student,
who proposed the project to the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) by let
ter last November.
Mansfield reported Thursday
that he has received encouraging
responses from both a NASA offi- L
cial and Oregon Sen. Mark
Hatifield.
Mansfield's plan is that art
from around the world be micro
filmed and deposited in a pack
age on the moon’s surface.
The art package is intended to
function as a safe-keeping of
man’s artistic achievements and
also as “a gesture of giving to
the universe and the future,” ac
cording to Mansfield.
Mansfield reported Friday that
he had spoken by telephone Thurs
day with Richard Allenby, NASA
assistant director of Lunar Sci
ences. Mansfield described the of
ficial’s response as “very enthu
siastic.”
Allenby has sent the proposal
on to the NASA General Infor
mation Office with his recommen
dation, said Mansfield. Now NASA
must decide which office would
handle this type of project, he
added.
Mansfield said he should know
by the first week in February
whether or not NASA definitely
plans to undertake the project.
He said he will talk with NASA
officials while attending an art
conference in Washington, D.C.,
at the end of this month.
Mansfield added that while in
the Capitol he will talk again
with Hatfield who “found the plan
a very interesting and worthwhile
proposal and said he would sup
port it.”
According to the plan, Func
tioning Aesthetic Programs, a
company directed by Mansfield
and three other University grad
jates, would act as coordinator of
the panel choosing works to be
■nicrofijmed
an expert in the field.”
One of the Co-op’s major prob
lems is returned books, the man
ager said. A class of 300 orders
a book, the Co-op gets 325 in and
sells 300. But then, Henson ex
plained, 10 days later the class
is through with the book and
students return them for full
price.
“There were $60,000 worth of
books returned last term. Many
of the books have only one or
two chapters that the students
read," he said. So many books
have been returned that publish
ers have put a 20 per cent ceiling
on returns, according to Henson.
Another problem is that “new
trends in education lead profes
sors to order three or more
books,” Henson said, “and the
next term they may order a com
pletely different set of texts.”
This makes it impossible for the
Co-op to get used books in many
cases.
“We would like to sell used
books. To be honest, we make
a little more on used books,” he
said. Another problem with the
changing texts, Henson said, is
that students can’t sell their
books for half price because the
Co-op can’t resell them.
The Co-op did receive some
unexpected money last year
when they set aside $145,000 for
rebates. Henson said only about
58 per cent of the students turn
ed in their receipts, amounting
to only $111,000. The year before,
he said, they gave out $135,00 in
rebates.
