Students price
books, supplies
By Jill O’Brien

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.

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.
