The Duck Stop, located in
the University Bookstore,
continues to send tips to
non-profit organizations
By Chelsea Duncan
News Reporter
A dollar here and a dime there may
not seem like a lot in a tip jar, but at
the Duck Stop coffee bar, tips add up
to thousands of dollars — and a
greater cause.
Instead of pocketing their tips from
customers each day, employees at the
University Bookstore bistro col lea the
money throughout the year and donate
it to different non-profit organizations.
This fall, employees began colleaing
tips that will be contributed to the HIV
Alliance which provides HIV education
and services to the community.
Bookstore General Manager Jim
Williams said tips have been colleaed
for about nine years, and all together the
coffee bar has donated about $40,000.
"We at the bookstore never felt it was
quite right to take tips," he said, adding
that Duck Stop employees are paid a bit
more than those at other coffee shops,
and they also get benefits such as vaca
tion time and discounts.
bach year, a $3,000 goal is set, but
Duck Stop employee Erin Tuttle said
last year's tips, which were donated to
the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic,
added up to more than $5,000.
"Three thousand dollars is always our
goal — we usually go over," she said.
Employee and senior Brett Hanson

Senior barista Brett Hanson makes coffee in the Duck Stop, where workers are donating
their tips to the HIV Alliance. The bistro sets a donation goal of $3,000 per year.
Duck Stop about a month and a half
ago he wasn't sure how he felt about
giving up his tips. But he soon real
ized he liked the idea of donating to a
good cause.
"If 1 was working at any other job
and making the same amount, I
wouldn't be getting tips," he said. "It
feels better, (so) why not."
However, Hanson said he's noticed
that some people decide not to give
money when they find out tips aren't
going to the employees.
"It frustrates me to see people that
know we're giving up our tips, but
they're not willing to either give a tip
or give the same amount of a tip be
cause we're not getting it," he said. "It
gets them off the hook of giving."
He added that it makes him even
more willing to donate the money.
"That kind of thing makes me ap
preciate it more," he said.
Senior and self-described tipper Kat
era Hopkins said she has worked at a
coffee shop where tips were a part of the
pay, so she respects that Duck Stop em
ployees donate the extra money.
"1 guess 1 would give them tips any
way, but I appreciate it more because
they're giving it up to a good cause,"
she said. "1 think it's really a good way
for them to reach out."

along with your prof," said Eric Lind
gren, GTFF vice president for Univer
sity relations.
Lindgren said the University was vi
olating its contract with the GTFF,
which specifies a preference for year
long contracts.
"There are (University) depart
ments that aren't following the con
tract," Lindgren said.
The union's contract states: "When
ever feasible, GTFs will be employed
year-to-year rather than term-to-term
where the need for performance of
specific GTF duties can be reasonably
expected to continue. GTFs should not
be employed term-to-term in order to
determine whether they are adequate
ly qualified for a GTF position."
Richard Linton, the University ad
ministrator most familiar with the ne
gotiations, could not immediately be
reached for comment.
Goff echoed Lindgren's concerns
about job security.
"How hard is it to teach when
you're worried about where your next
job will come from?" Goff said.
Goff urged the University adminis
tration to bargain in good faith with
the union, and said GTFs are an inte
gral part of the University.
"The University needs to realize
how important we are to this cam
pus," Goff said.
He added that GTFs teach 27 per
cent of the classes at the University.
Money, of course, figured prominent
ly into the union's concerns. One GTF
said graduate salaries at the University
lag far behind comparable institutions.
"We need a 30 percent raise to make
us average," GIT Liz Harlan-Ferlo said.
Junior Jim Lowry said if the GTFs
want more money, they should be
given more money.
"It sets a good precedent for other
grad students who are considering
coming here," he said.
