Committee discusses
trademark code topics
The University Licensing Code of
Conduct Committee met Wednes

Small bookstores feeling the squeeze
Small,
hometown
bookstores
are struggling
to compete
with the
large
franchises
and Internet
companies
By Jessica Blanchard
Oregon Daily Emerald
With the recent explosion
of Internet textbook compa
nies and on-line book retail
ers, students have more op
tions than ever when they
want to buy books.
But representatives of
some independent book
stores have charged that. A
few large bookstore chains
and on-line book retailers
are slowly monopolizing
the market and edging them
out of business.
Local book retailers, in
cluding the University
Bookstore and Mother Kali’s
Books on 13th Avenue, have
said they worry that fewer
bookstores in the market
could lead to less availabili
ty of certain books or even
entire genres, higher prices
for customers and smaller
publishing houses eventual
ly being pushed out of busi
ness.
Chain and on-line book
retailers, however, said the
charges are unfounded, and
that competition can be ben
eficial to a community, ex
panding the literary hori
zons of people who would
not normally read or visit
bookstores.
“Basically, we view com
petition as being a healthy
thing,” said Debra Williams,
director of corporate com

■ The school falls
short in only one
category: diversity
By Serena Markstrom
Oregon Daily Emerald
Fifty-two years ago the
University’s School of Jour
nalism was one of the first
schools to be accredited by
the Accrediting Council for
Education in Journalism and
Mass Communication. And
on Wednesday, the ACEJMC
recommended the school be
accredited again.
“We look at the quality of
the program through a num
ber of lenses,” said Douglas
Anderson, the ACEJMC
board chairman.
The board met with jour
nalism faculty, students and
administration Monday and
Tuesday to draft a recom
mendation to the ACEJMC
national committee, which
will meet in March.
The school was found in
compliance with 11 out of 12
standards, falling short only
in minority and women rep
resentation. The University
has the only accredited jour
nalism program in the state
of Oregon.
Accredited schools must
be reviewed every six years
to be reaccredited. In 1994
the school complied in all 12
