Comparisons drawn by the committee
included:
Storage space: The Nebraska Book
Company has a warehousing system
extending throughout the country The
University BGGKStCrS hSS TWO GiGTCCC
rooms, shared by the main bookstore,
the freshman boodstore and the conven
ience items store.
According to Behrends, the yet-to-be-constructed
East Campus activities
building will contain space for a
University Bookstore branch at least the
size of the main and freshman book
stores combined. The store will not be
opened until fail of 1976. he said.
Books no longer required for courses:
With its warehouse system, the Nebras
ka Book Company can place books UNL
students are not required to, buy in
storage and sell them at another
bookstore in another part of the country
where books are required material at
another school.
With limited storage space, the
University Bookstore sells non-required
books to the Nebraska Book Company
for the same amount a student selling
them would receive, according to the
report.
Used books: In a price comparison of
a random selection of books carried by
both the University and Nebraska
Bookstores, committee members re
ported a few price discrepancies. The
comparison showed several used books
were as much as $4 cheaper at the
Nebraska Bookstore. A greater volume
of used books and more space to
accommodate them resulted in lower
prices on the same books at the
Nebraska Bookstore, according to the
report. ,
The University Bookstore has fewer
used books available to sell, committee
members reported, and .must depend
upon new book sales.
Convenience items: at the University
Bookstore, all of these items are priced
and stocked by a wholesaler. Certain
items, such as T-shirts, can be bought
cheaper when bought in larger quanti
ties. The Nebraska Bookstore has the
warehouse to store additional merchan
dise the University Bookstore doesn't.
The ASUN book exchange, begun
several years ago to allow students to
buy books from each other without
having to pay the mark-up bookstores
put on used books, actually boosted
University Bookstore sales, according to
information given committee members
bv Stafford.
'Students bring books to the store for
immediate cash instead of having them
sit in the book exchange, possible for an
entire semester, before being bought,
the report said.
Lack of organization and publicity were
other problems contained in the report
as, plaguing the book exchange opera
tion. Committee recommendations to re
store competitive pricing at the Univ.
Bookstore inciude establishing a student
advisory board for University Bookstore
operations. The seven-man board, ac
cording to the report, would oversee the
operation of the bookstore in addition to
other duties.
The committee also suggested estab
lishing a program with the management
and marketing programs in the College
of Business Administration. The pro
gram would allow students to work In
management positions along with book
store staff for possible class credit.
Other suggestions included providing
inventory space for the bookstore and
encouraging faculty members not to
order a surplus of books for which there
would be no space at the bookstore.
No action was taken on the report, but
it will be considered at a later ASUN
meeting, Senator Kay said.
