As a trequent visitor ot the U ol O Bookstore I have noticed
the efficient and effective role it plays in the overall activities of
the University The U of O Bookstore Board ol Directors must
serve the many needs ol the people using It I teel that I pos
sess the integrity and qualifications needed to represent the di
verse student body as a member ol the Board ot Directors
The Bookstore has traditionally shown Its customers that it
wishes to be more responsive to its customers, and along with
this notion I would evpress a proactive attitude towards
changes I would like to see adopted I will lobby lor improve
ments In the long lines at the beginning ot each term a cap on
book prices, receive more money on book returns, make avad
able more used books and improve the quality ot sweatshirts

ken, and goal oriented approach to life will make me a qualified

Mary Robertson
Walking into the bookstore can often lead to a lot of unan
swered questions Why do tennis balls cost $4 4f> at the book
store and range from $1 00 $3 99 everywhere else? Does the
bookstore really need to carry luggage and dishware? With
such a large Greek population, why is there so little Greek para
phernalia? Is there a way to cut the time it takes to buy and sell
books?
M is questions like these that have inspired me to run for the
board of directors I would like to see ANSWERS to students
questions I have 3 years experience in retail as an assistant
manager I am also dedicated and have the time necessary for
this position
It's time for the bookstore to be more responsive to students
l would like to see a more selective range of merchandise bet
ter prices when possible, more Greek paraphernalia, and less
time spent for students when buying and selling books Please
vote May 2nd and 3rd. Mary Robertson. F reshman Position

Bookselling Industry tor the last seven years Three of those

owned local bookstore In that position I made a great deal of
decisions concerning policies of the store This experience
transfers directly to what the Board of Directors duties are I
have attended the American Booksellers Association National
Convention twice tn the last five years, and will attend again

In this election you as the owner of the bookstore, are choos
mg an employee to run your business in the most efficient ef

business who had no relevant experience? No. you would look
for the most qualified candidate

Our Bookstore operates with the purpose ol serving its mem
bers—the students and faculty ot the University As a student
you have every right to express your ideas and criticisms to the
administration of our bookstore with hope that your idea will be
discussed and possibly initiated As a seatholder on the Board
of Directors I would do all possible to bridge communication
and follow through with your suggestions
Presently, an important issue ol the bookstore is of expan
sion—both structurally and in products and services As an ar
chitecture student with a background in consumer relations, I
feel that I would be an asset in both working with an architect
to initiate spacial expansion and in creating applicable consum
er policies for the betterment ol customers
The University of Oregon's Bookstore Is a vital element of our
campus With your vote, I will work to insure that the book
stores prosperity continues and insist that the allocation ot
space, the products, and the services will complement the di
versity and continually changing needs and desires ol the stu
dent body
Tracy Naber
My name is Tracy Naber I am currently a member of Ihe
ASUO Executive as Assistant Finance Coordinator I have had
experience working with many students and student groups
throughout the IFC budgeting process I am also a member ot
the LTD Student Transit Council and the Academic Require
ments Committee
I would like to represent the student body as a member ot Ihe
Bookstore Board The board gives students an opportunity to
have a voice in the running ot a business that directly affects
them As a representative of the student body, I would work to
expand the guaranteed book program and to make the Book
store more responsive to the needs of Ihe students Vote Tracy

Most ol us line) ourselves in the Bookstore on a daily or week
ly basis, buying texts or supplies, picking up a quick snack, or
checking out the latest magazine The Bookstore is an integral
part ol campus tile It serves a large and diverse campus popu
latlon. and mostly serves us well
One ol the least tun times in the Bookstore lor students is
registration week Everybody has a different collection ol text
books and supplies to buy and most ol us are trying to make
each dollar go as lar as possible The lines are long and it
seems like there must be a better way'
There are ways to improve Bookstore services lor students I
believe a larger selection ol used texts and a higher discount
rate would save the student body as much as 11.000 000 per
year (approximately t200 per person) We should be able to ac
complish these savings and still olter the other services we val
ue at a good price
As a Board Director. I would listen to what you want and work
lor improved services lor all students I am confident that
through my management experience and willingness to work. I
can make a positive difference
Clint Weller
Ending my sophomore year I have become more eager as
time passes to become more involved with this University I am
currently a supervisor for registration and enjoy the responsibii
ity of working with both my supervisors and subordinates The
pleasure I receive working under these circumstances comes
from working well with people I look for respect when given re
sponsibility but also give plenty of respect to authority I work
hard for my goals and I believe if something is to be accom
pushed everybody must play a rote and work together
My expectations of holding a seat on the Board of Directors
is to be intensely involved with the expansion of the Bookstore
Along with the structural expansion of the Bookstore I would
also like to see an expansion of service in order to handle the
big rush at the beginning of each term These are general ideas
that have surely been raised and with an excited attitude and
an ability to work hard I can help the Bookstore move toward
progress in the future With this in mind I will accept your vote
as an invitation to improve the bookstore for everybody
hick meiennaus
Two years ol my servic# on the Board ol Directors will mean
this tor you (1) Authentic progress toward meeting the special
needs ot all members while Keeping Ihe operating costa to a
minimum, and (2) the Immediate resolution ot complaints or
problems that impede our abilities to serve you better
In 1986 JCPenney Hew me to their corporate headquarters in
New York to meet with one ot their CEO's —Robert Gill —

leaders in merchandising In my tree time I have started my own
