The student discount for text
books was raised to 10 percent
last week when the bookstore
board of directors voted unani
mously for the change, said Jim
Williams, University bookstore
general manager
The board of directors met
Thursday during which
Williams “recommended ih»»
board consider raising the dis
count " The hoard discussed the
idea and then approved the pro
posal The change went into
effect four or five minutes after
the meeting. Although some
signs at the store still say 9 per
cent, the discount is 10 percent.
The unexpected success of the
m i
football team has allowed tho
Bookstore to look down tho road
financially. Williams said
Tho Bookstore was able to
raise th*> discount txx aus»» sains
of Rose Bowl merchandise,
which began following the game
against Oregon State University,
have done so well The Book
store has increased business in
recent weeks and has made
more money than exiled
The Ducks are having a good
year and because the Bookstore

merchandise the hoard thought
the students should reap some
of the Ixmehts. Williams said
"Wo wanted to pass the sui -
teas on to the students."
