Student discount cards
provide ID, lower prices
By Laure Perlinger
A UNL student and two colleagues have
decided to combine photo identification
with store discount cards and are offering
the product to fellow UNL students.
The Student Discount Cards, which
allow students special sale prices on non
sale items in various stores, are new to the
university and Lincoln, according to UNL
student Susan Ellis'. Ellis, her father Buster
and Eric Warp, own Image Systems, a Lin
coln ID card business.
The business, in cooperation with
UNL's Women's Resource Center, is sel
ling student discount cards in the Nebraska
Union.
When buying a discount card, a student
must first show his student identification
card, and if he's old enough to drink, a
student must show an ID proving age,
Ellis said.
The $10 cards are intended to help
students save money while shopping in Lin
coln. Some of the items covered by the dis
count are plants, shoes, clothing, car parts
and repair, hair products, souvenirs, jewel
ry, food, flowers, bicycle parts and repair,
liquor, contact lenses and glasses, books,
albums, waterbed supplies, and activities
such as roller skating and bowling.
About 200 of the cards have been sold,
Ellis said.
"After students get out of the book
buying crunch and tuition crunch, busi
ness will probably pick up," Ellis said.
Good advertising
The cards are especially useful for
new students at UNL who don't have a
picture identification card, or for foreign
students who may not have a driver's
license, she said.
"We also wanted to return part of the
money back to the students, so we decided
to work with an organization that works
for the students of the campus," she said.
Each of the 52 merchants decided upon
his own percentage discount, then signed a
one-year contract with hnage
Systems. Ellis and Warp decided to
contact a variety of businesses at which
college students might shop.
Hardly any of the businesses turned
us down, because it costs the merchant
nothing to participate, plus it's good ad.
vertising," she said.
Participating businesses will display a
sign in their window to indicate they honor
the discount cards.
Break for students
Linda Salac, of Flower World, said the
student discount is a good thing because
students get the same quality merchandise
at a lower price.
"College students have a hard enough
time with expenses, so why not give them
a break?" Salac said.
Jim and Marti Danielson, owners of the
Husker Shop, 330 N. 48th St., agreed that
the cards will be helpful.
"Now the kids will have a second form
of identification, and there is no better
way to draw in some good business," Mrs.
Danielson said.
Student Discount Card sales began last
Monday, and will continue for the next
three weeks in the Nebraska Union.
UNL is one of the first schools in the
midwest to have such a program, Ellis
said, and Image Systems plans to expand
the service to Universities in neighboring
states.
