UNL Chancellor Matin Mcsscnssle's Bookstore
Committee has completed its location and feasibil
ity 'study of the University Bookstore. 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.

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

Estimated costs- for the proposals range from
slightly over $ 1 million to $23 million.
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.
