Campus bookstores
not just for bookworms
By ROGER GREGORY
Of the Emerald
There are two bookstores near campus which supply eager students each term
with their supply of texts. They supply other things, too, such as posters, art sup
plies, children's books, record albums, T-shirts, paperbacks and even food.
The larger of the two is the University Bookstore, Inc., at 13th Avenue and Kincaid
Street. For many years, it functioned as a cooperative, selling memberships and
giving rebates on textbook purchases at year's end. An election changed all that
nearly two years ago and now the bookstore offers a blanket discount of 10 per cent
on all textbooks.
The bookstore will also buy back, at half price, used books in good condition if
they will be needed the following term. During the rest of the year, publishers' trade
list prices are paid. Paperbacks are also repurchased if they cost at least $2.25 new.
Foreign language books must be clean. The store will not buy back spirals, tem
porary bindings, programmed texts or reprints.
The bookstore strongly recommends those unsure of their classes go to class first
before buying their books. The store only accepts refunds if the class was dropped,
the book is in good condition and presented within three weeks and the student has
two pieces of current identification.
Also provided are bulletin boards for selling used texts and for community events.
The store occasionally has sales of old and used books by the pound. The bookstore
is open extra hours during the first week of each term. The extra hours this term are
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. X and Tuesday, Oct. 1. Regular hours are 8:15
a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.
