Students price books, supplies By Jill O’Brien Staff Reporter Armed with pink registration forms. University of Nebraska-Lin coln students will soon converge upon local bookstores in search of text books and school supplies to get through the fall semester. The University Bookstores, located in the East Campus Union and City Union, outfit students with the right books for the right class. The book stores also stock general survival goods, such as poptarts, pantyhose, popcorn, tanning oil, mugs and greet ing cards. The stores have the same pricing struc ture determined by publishing company. Gwen Behrends textbook manager University Bookstore -ft - The Nebraska Bookstore, 1300 Q St, is Lincoln’s largest bookstore with its three floors geared toward student needs. Cost-conscious shoppers may find the Nebraska Bookstore a few cents cheaper, but most students will agree the University Bookstores and the Nebraska Bookstore arc closely competitive when it comes to selling new and used textbooks. Gwen Behrends, textbook manager for the University Bookstore, said the campus bookstores are a service orga nization, catering to students. Behrends said the University book stores and the Nebraska Bookstore work closely together. "The stores have the same pricing structure determined by publishing company," Behrends said. While the University Bookstore stocks supplies for the art or architecture student, the Nebraska Bookstore has a more com prehensive selection of materials. However, it may profit serious art students to check out the prices at Standard Blue, 4550 O St. At the Nebraska Bookstore, stu dents can pay for books by check, cash or with Visa/Mastercard, Discover or American Express. The University bookstores honor Visa/Mastercharge or students can set up an Express Charge. The Express Charge enables stu dents to purchase books at the Univer sity bookstores using their UNL stu dent ID card. Books will then be billed to either the student or their parents. To qualify for an Express Charge account, students must first fill out an application, which can be picked up at either bookstore, and return the com pleted form to the Express Charge office located in the basement of the Nebraska Union, across from the copy center. A co-signer is required for students under 21. If a first-time tour through the stores prompts any questions, students should ask a clerk for assistance. “New students should be sure to ask for help if they need it," Behrends said. Behrends offered another good piece of advice — hold on to your receipts. It may come in handy it you need to exchange or return a book.
