Bookstore given tentative lease
Hv Will Holhert
Of I Hr Him* r a lit
The EMU may have a new oc
cupant — the bookstore.
The space formally wxupied
by Computer ami Software
Brokers, beside the Computer
Lounge in the EMU basement.
has tentatively been leased to
tlie University Bookstore.
Only two members of the
15-member EMU Board of
Directors were present during a
board meeting Monday. They
voted unanimously to award the
lease to the bookstore. The
bookstore beat out three other
competitors for the spot. Owing
to the low turnout, the board
will wait until most of the
members are present to make a
final decision.
"I'm not overly surprised.
I’m pleased... selecting the
bookstore was a prudent thing
to do.” said lames Williams,
general manager of the
bookstore.
The new bookstore branch
will sell computer hardware
and software, rent VCRs along
with TVs, and provide text
books to night class students.
Other services will include
small appliance rentals, elec
Ironies sales. and <i possible text
buy-back service.
The hoard considered three
other options for filling the va
cant space, a bicycle shop. TSI
(a computer store), ami a Com
puterland store.
"It'll increase the exposure
for what’s available. ..It may
increase business." said Mat
thew Smith, summer chairman
of the EMU Hoard.
According to Smith, the main
advantage of having the
Ixxikstore move in would lie the
hours. Instead of closing at
5:30. as the main bookstore
does, the new branch would re
main open until seven at night.
Another advantage may lx>
the new outlet’s abilty to take
back textbooks at the end of
each term. Dormitory residents
would not have to hard their
books back to the main
bookstore, but could exchange
them at the new outlet.
However, the new outlet may
not lx- able to handle the buy
back rush, and it will lx* tried
only on u test tuisis. he said
The board's move also may
make life more convenient lor
dormitory denisens who have
time for video movies. The new
outlet will rent TV sets, VC.Rs.
and movies according to the
proposal the bookstore submit
ted to the txiard
However, the board’s deci
sion may lx* null and void.
Monday's meeting violated
Oregon public meeting laws
be< ause notice wasn't given
within 24 hours, according to
Bob Baldwin, Iru idental Fee
(lommittee chairman, and a
memlxtr of the FMI t board.
“It's my contention that the
meeting never happened." said
Baldwin.
Baldwin is calling for a new
meeting, and says he will take
his case to the state attorney
general if necessary.
No malicious intent was
behind the board's lack of
notification, according to
Baldwin Many people aren't
even aware ot the hoard as a
public body capable of giving
out public leases, and it's lack
of notoriety gave rise to an
unintentional violation of state
public meeting law. he said
Baldwin plans to call for
another meeting, and “start
from scratch."
