Book fee draws complaints Some students still don’t know about new charge ^‘Viucma dun uuil l Know aDOUt a new 50-cent restocking fee for returned books, says Sara Vamashiro, University Bookstore advertising manager The fee is designed to discourage book shortages which occur when some students sign up for more classes than they intend to take, playing the drop-add game, she says The result is book shortage, Yamashiro says After the bookstore orders more books, students return the purchased books, causing an overabundance, she says The practice costs the store $200,000 from the 18,000 books returned early in the term. Despite advertisements and signs posted in the bookstore, some students get angry when they have to pay the fee, Yamashiro says "The purpose again for the restocking fee is to act as a deterrent to students who buy books with the intent of returning them, and having the books on the shelf for those who need them," she says. A similar plan started at Stanford Univer sity Bookstore last year reduced the number of re-orders and sell-outs greatly, Yamashiro adds The restocking fee was adopted this year after a one-year study W£df End UNFINISHED 4-DRA WER PINE CHESTS only*1 4 m ^ plus all kinds of home furnishings FRANK BREWER, Auctioneer Buy - Sen - Consign Your Place or Ours SSiM Berger Drive POone 4*10*3} JH II China Blue Restaurant upstairs next to the U of O Bookstore Serving lunch from 11-4 • M-F 897 E. 13th Ave. 343-2832 School plans fundraiser Approximately 100 volunteers will soon tackle the finger-sore job of dialing thousands of University business school alumni to request donations.
