Bookstore Report
Nears Completion
A study to determine the feasibility of establishing a
student-run bookstore has been completed by Albert Diem,
vice president for business administration.
His conclusions will be turned over to President Eric A.
Walker who will present them to the Board of Trustees at
its October meeting. j '
The basis for this investigation
is a report compiled by the SGA
Bookstore Committee explaining
the advantages of and (he need
for a student-run bookstore.
As mentioned in the report,
an organization of this kind
would provide a means of re
distributing profits to the stu
dent body in the form of text
book discounts or refunds at
the end of a term.
But where did it all begin?
On Dec. hi, i 960, the SGA As
sembly unanimously approved a
bill which asserted live “immedi
ate and imperative need for the
University bookstore.” The bill
was then submitted to the Board
of Trustees for consideration at
its January meeting.
At that lime, the trustees asked
for a more complete report which
would include building and space
requirements for such a store, the
costs, operational expenses and
profit margin anticipated.
The SGA Bookstore Commit
tee formed last February to get
lhe information for the trustees,
sent questionaires to 792 stu
dents, selected randomly, to de
termine if there were a need
for a student-run bookstore and
what this need entailed.
The SGA report was then .sub
mitted at the June meeting.
President Eric A. Walker said,
at the time, that it was still in
complete because it “did not
specify what things the commit
tee felt should be sold.”
And so. as the fall term begins,
the student body must look to
Old Main for the fate of the Uni
versity bookstore which may be
come a reality before the class
of 'O5 graduates.
