The report, jujinitted to Msssensle test month, recommends four solutions to the bookstore's present crowding problems. . The committee's recommendations are in part cased on a study done by bookstore consulting firm Len rliite Associates of Westwood, NJ. The firm has served as consultants to more than 800 aca demic bookstores. . "Least desirable" of the options is the possibility of renovating existing spaces, according to the report Other options are to relocate the bcclictcre within a in2 area in the basement of the Nebraska Union; to combine sales, areas into a single area in the basement with a two-floor addition to be built to the east of the Union, adding sales, storage, receiving, dock and oOce space, and to build' a freestanding ' building in the current parking lot north of BroyhiU Fountain. "-.. " f" White determined that about 30,000 square feet of floor space h necessary to meet the bookstore's needs. - - The Nebraska Union bookstore area currently totals 8,600 square feet One single area in the basement would provide 1 5,824 square feet; a single area in the basement with the new addition would r " " , - .. s z VMv It ;1i CAW. i I ...

Committee member Reg Kuhn said that if projec tions are accurate, there will not be a need for an Increase in student fres for the project White's report indicates that a new store will have a gross sales volume of $3.16 million after five years of oper ation, an increase, of $4 million from current gross sales. The committee recommends that thi3 larger profit be reviewed by the Committee for Fees Alloca tions. The CPA could then decide how to use the extra profit The effect of the project on the Union is still, uncertain, the report says. A reduction in traffic through the Union is probable if the bookstore moves out. A new bookstore north of the Union would have a positive impact on traffic into the Union, it says. Remodeling the bookstore would di3 nipt union trade, it says. Committee member Laura Meyer said students should realize that in the long run, the project is in the best interest of UNL students. A new bookstore will eventually offer increased access to additional supplies including trade references and computer software, she said." ;. y Monday afternoon the committee met with Mas sengale. Massengale and the committee will con sider the advantages and disadvantages of each option, according to Kuhn and Meyer. ' FOOTCH pf 14 lb. 12 in.
