Yesterday, Jacobs could hardly conceal his delight at the furor his price cuts have caused. "We should be given a medal for giving the students a break," he said, "If someone wants to be a damn fool and rent a store with high overhead and all kinds of administrative costs, let him try. We're not here for philanthropy. We can make money at 3-2-1. We can make money at 21/2 cents a copy...

...Governance Committee stresses, the furor over social conscience and corporate responsibility is raging at just the time that the University is beginning to fear its own fiscal collapse a few years hence. Most readers will find the quantitative data in the report more useful than the conceptual background. A table of operating income and expenses records the historic shift in the financial base of the University. Half of the operating budget depends not on the billion-dollar endowment but on annual gifts and government contracts-if this outside money dried up, it would be very hard times indeed...
