STUDENT-FACULTY SPONSORS:
Discount Bookstore To Open
A new campus bookstore, offer-
ing from 10 to 15 per cent
discounts on most textbooks, will
open in Ann Arbor this fall, a
student - faculty group announced
recently.
The store will remain open less
than three weeks according to
present plans-from Aug. 26 to
Sept. 14. It will be located at 212
S. State.
Prof. Fred C. Schure of the
nuclear engineering department,
and Vita Shapiro, '68, head the
student-faculty group.
In past years many student-
and faculty-run stores have at-
tempted to give students cheaper
book prices here. All have thus far
failed.
The bookstore will offer official
textbooks for nearly 55 courses,
mostly the large courses.

an estimated 35,000 at Michigan
Stadium that "we are all thrilled
beyond measure to stand tribute
to those that launched and re-

Gov. George Romney remarked
that the recent flight carried ex-

Dedication
Following the convocation the
astronauts dedicated a new Space
Research Bldg. on North Campus
and then were taken to the Mich-
igan Union for lunch.
But on the Union steps, a teach-

faculty members felt that some-

the U.S. actions-the unpleasant
side-in the midst of the celebra-
tion.
This created a stir within the

New books lists will be made
with 20 faculty consultants, who
will get their information directly
from course teachers.
The new book store is a part of
a long series of attempts at the
University for discount or student
and/or faculty owned bookstores.
While the stores have failed thus
far here, stores of a similar type
have been successful at Harvard,
Yale, Texas and Stanford, among
other universities.
Why have such ventures not
been successful at the University?
The main reason, most observ-
ers report, is a 1929 Regents' by-
law that says the University is
forbidden to aid "co-operative
mercantile organizations within
University buildings" or allow
"circumstances that will give such
enterprises advantages in the way
of lower rents freedom from tax-
ation, or other co-operation on the
part of the University."
Shure says that if, by a change
in the Regents' bylaw, the group
could, it would turn over the store
to the Student Government Coun-
cil.
He says that the reason most
MMMMMMM'ii
other cooperative bookstores with
similar intentions had failed was
because the students did not care
enough to support the ventures.
This left Shure with two alter-
natives-to agitate for a student-
owned store or start a strictly dis-
count business. He chose the lat-
ter.
Shure says previous cooperative
bookstores and book exchanges
have attempted to operate with-
out adequate finances.
(One Ann Arbor book merchant
estimated that, for inventory
alone, it would take $100,000 to
open a new textbook store in Ann
Arbor.)
In addition, they did not have
enough trained clerks, a smooth
procedure to help customers or
the number and selection of books
needed to sell quickly and at a
discount, he says.
