by the Office of Student Affairs, the event was initiated in an effort to promote

ineffective in pleasing the students.
There is speculation that part of the
Book Store's problem is the Book Store
manager. Although the Book Store is not
in a strict sense a "student service," its
failure to operate like most other stu
dent services may be due to what many
students and faculty have described as
the "unfriendly disposition" of its mana
ger, Mr. Kistler. One source commented
that "the least that is said to him the
better," and one student observed that
the manager is not very receptive to a
student's request for help in finding a
book in the store.
The Reader did make an attempt to
photograph and interview Kistler, but
he refused to be photographed and
declined comment.
The faculty committee on bookstore activities would like suggestions from
students, faculty, and staff on improving the Capitol Campus bookstore. Although
textbook prices will probably remain high because of rising costs for printing,
paper, and postage, some desirable changes may be possible if enough members of
the campus community express interest and submit their ideas for change. Write
your suggestions in the space provided, clip, and drop in the C.C. Reader box in
Room W-129.

COMMENTS ON BOOKSTORE NEEDED
The shopping conditions at the Book
Store will probably remain as they now
are for some time unless students
respond to requests for suggestions for
the Book Store. Both Prof. Bubel and
Ms. Prouser will gladly listen to any
reasonable suggestions in regard to the
Book Store.
Despite these conditions and lack of a
tremendous profit, the Book Store still
functions to serve most of the academic
needs of the students. If students be
come more actively concerned with the
Book Store's role on campus, perhaps
the store will be able to serve other
needs of the students, and be able to
serve those needs in a more pleasant
atmosphere.
