Record store stuck on red tape

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."

Union officials have been
"helpful and very generous
about allocating space for the
record store," Cochrane re
marked. 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.
