This year tin University Boiik
store celebrates its 75th year on
campus Although the corpora
tion was founded in 1920. the sto
ry of the bookstore began in 1916
In 1916. the bookstore opened
in a cottage on the corner of 1 :ith
Avenue arid kirn aid Street
under control of the University.
In 1918. the University fired the
footlwll coach but had no money
to pay off his contract The
bookstone was sold to a pharma*
i ut under the stipulation that
the University not oj*en another
bookstore for a! least two years
Until 1920, students and facul
ty had to order their books from
the pharmacist
In 1920, a list of faculty mem
bers decided to fund the Univer
sity of Oregon Cooperative
Store, a cooperative that would
operate independently of the
University and prevent the inu
dent of 1916 from happening
again.
Faculty members bought
1,000 shares of stock in the Uni
versity Supply Company at $100
per share The list of investors
reads like a who's who of Uni
versity history including then
president Prince I.mien
Campbell, Matthew H Douglas.
James II Gilbert. I,ouis H John
son and many others
Investors and members of the
cooperative were given annual
rebates on their purchases as
part of ‘.I ■ i In nefit < as mem
hers By 19.13 the bookstore was
self-sustaining and paid ba< k all
of the investors plus interest
Since tliat time there have been
no outside investors.
In 1973. the bookstore
changed from a cooperative to a
nonprofit organization, and stu
dents were given a discount at
the point-of-sale rather than at
the end of the year.
Since 1973, the bookstore has
given over $9 million in dis
< mints to students and faculty

DEBATE

faculty member who preferred to remain
anonymous
Phis source suggested, however, the
faculty needs a forum of their own in
which to meet, l hat idea involves creat
ing a separate faculty .Senate which
would meet periodically with the Stu
dent Senate on issues of common con
cent
Student senators can not vote on their
own expulsion from the senate.
Suggestions of limiting student repre
sentation worry ASUQ Vice President
Mark Rhinard. in a speech to the Student
Senate last week, Rhinard addressed how
vital the student's voice is,
"We re preparing to enter the debate.’’
he said, "if our views are not taken into
consideration fairly, then we may have to
move to other tactic s to keep our repre
sentation.”
