College Text Supply
Tagging Far Behind
Maryland Enrolment
BY The Assoeioisd Press

Textbook production is far behind
the record enrolment Of students In
Maryland colleges, and college bust
ness managers predict the shortage
will be felt for several years.
During the war textbook publisher
were restricted to IS per cent OF
their 1912 supply. The present de-
mand Is approximately three times
that amount. The paper shortage, 8
New York bookbinders' strike, and
the trucking strike In, New York
which has frozen book deliveries, are
Jail factors cited by college officials
as responsible for the book shortage
Hardest hit Is the University Of
Maryland, which has been able to
supply its students with only about
80 per cent Of needed texts, Frank
K. Haszard said today.
Enrolment Jumps.
Maryland's anticipated enrolment
of 5000 students has jumped to 1900,
the business manager said.
There is a severe shortage Of
texts for such subjects as botany,
chemistry and engineering" he ex-
planned. This is partly because the
Army drew heavily on chemistry
and engineering texts during the
war.
When classes opened at Mary
land early this month, our book
store operated on 24-hour sched-
ule, and we haven't caught up yet.
The situation has improved, but I
doubt If we will be able to supply
all students with the books they
need"
Johns Hopkins University, with
1900 day students and $500 at
tending night classes, Is in acute
need OF texts ordered last May and
June. but which have not yet been
delivered.
Needs 5000 Books.
Christian Dittus, manager of the
Hopkins bookshop, said the univer-
sity needs about 5000 textbooks.
Hopkins has stocked its library with
books needed by all classes. The
books can be taken out overnight
only.
At Western Maryland College T.
K. Harrison, business manager, said
he had been able to obtain only IS
per cent of the books needed by 300
students.
College officials said more than a
million books were collected from
Institutions which had Army and
Navy wartime college training
courses and are available to vet
Grams at the Library of Congress for
az cents each
