Record store stuck on red tape by JAN PARKS Nvtoraskan staff Writar Student Senate isn't "break ing any records" incorporating the student record store which was to be completed by November. According to Bruce Cochrane, ASUN Community Services Committee chairman, the record store will be opened sometime this year, "but I would hate to hazard a guess as to exactly when the store will be completed." Cochrane said the store's completion date has been delayed because of other priorities of the University's Building and Ground Depart ment. A study room on first floor of the Nebraska Union has been provided for the record store, Cochrane explained, "but we're now waiting for a construction time." He said on wall will be removed in the remodeling process. "We're finding out that the University is full of red tape," Cochrane said, "and this time we came out on the short end of the tape."

The record store will be Stu dent Senate's first attempt at a student enterprise, Cochrane noted. "It can be labeled stu dent enterprise because , it is being funded by $1400 from student fees," he said. The investment should be worthwhile to students, he said, because they will be able to buy records at a considerable discount. A five dollar album will be sold for approximately three dollars, he noted. Lower record prices will be possible since the record store will be operating on a non-profit basis. The store will be manned by students, Cochrane said, and store hours will run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. "when the main flow of students are in the Union." Cochrane said Student Senate has contracted with the American Services Corporation for supplying the record store. American Services Corporation is a subsidiary of the National Student Association, he said. "We will sell records on con signment from every major recording company in the United States," he said. "Consignment," Cochrane explained, "is like credit. They provide us with the goods; and we will pay for what we sell, or return the records we don't sell." Cochrane contended that the record store is something ' student government can ac tually do for students. It's not just rhetoric or paperwork, he said. It will benefit students in a place that counts their pocketbooks. If the student record store is successful, Student Senate may attempt other student en terprise projects. "I'll be working on the formation of a student gasoline station this summer," Cochrane said. He pointed out . that a student gasoline station would require the sale of stocks since more than $25,000 will be needed to initiate the service station. Perhaps a student book store could be organized in a few years if both the record store and the gas station are a suc cess, he said.
