Text Book Sales Drop As Many Vets Leave

Text books sales are on the decline. Four Square book stores reported Tuesday that purchases of college books in the first week of the second term were slightly under last year's total for the same period.

The Harvard Cooperative Society and the Phillips Book Store declared the decline was due in part to the fact that there are no longer as many Veterans in the University.

Receiving money from the government with which to buy books, the G.I.'s bought all their texts early in the term. As their allotment was used up, the Veterans became more conscious of how they spent their money, the stores reported.
