I am running for the position of student-at-large for the
Bookstore Board of Directors for several reasons I leel that
the Bookstore is an important aspect of university tile The
students and faculty count on their bookstore to supply what
they need and provide a variety ot services. It is essential that
those in charge ol the store know what the students and facul
ty need and want I feel that I can be that vital link between the
administrators at the store and its customers I am presently
president of my dormitory and an active member of the Car
son/Earl President's Council as well as the Earl Basement
Committee I also head my dormitory's Advisory Board I have
taken an active interest in the bookstore and am aware of
several issues which the Board of Directors is currently deal
ing with I believe that I can use my experience in representing
others needs and wants to let those in charge of the
bookstore know and understand what their members, the
students and faculty expect, need and dasire from the store

Shelley Carlson
As the undergraduate secretary for the Department of
Political Science. I see a large part of my role as that of “stu
dent advocate This role could logically be extended to In
clude my participation as a member of the Board of Directors
for the Bookstore Here I could actively participate in seeing
that students needs were, first of all. known and understood
and. secondly, that these needs were answered by program
and policy implementation
The U of 0 Bookstore is a good resource center tor
students, but as with any business, it could be made better In
the past year, the Bookstore has made strides toward being
more responsive to students, for instance, a further reduction
in book discounts for all members I would actively pursue the
maintenance of these discounts and strive for more book
price relief, in particular, lower used book prices
I like the Bookstore and I like the direction it is heading I
feel that I could contribute In a creative and enthusiastic way
to further realize the goals of making the Bookstore a truly
"co-operative" venture
