TUESDAY, JUNE l9, 1965 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE NINE TUESDAY, JUNE ?9, 1965 TIlE MIChIGAN DAILY PAGE NINK 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. Hopes -Daily-Thomas R.

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.
