Page Six, The Aletheia ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Bookstore Blues By Anita Allen If, upon leaving the book store this semester, you felt dismayed, you wete not alone. No booklists, long lines, and high prices left everyone feeling this way. Our new bookstore man ager, Ruth Logan (yes, you may call her Ruth) explained. The publishers get eighty percent of the total price. The business manager, Mr. Wal ter Hall, set the twenty per cent mark up rate on new tests. This twenty percent pays the overhead costs such as shipping. If a professor re quests new editions, the prices increase also. Some profes sors were also surprised at the mark up in the bookstore. According to Ruth, there is good news for the future. The Wallace Book company purchasing students’ used books starting in December. This will increase the num ber of used books to buy and students wiU not have to sell their books to other students. More encouraging news is that the business office is looking into relocating the bookstore. A larger bookstore means less waiting, less crowding, and more items for sale. Booklists will no longer be used because of a compu terized system newly in stalled. Books are shelved in alphabetical order by the course number in the store. Ruth started working at Montreat in May of this year. She lives in Black Mountain, is married and has a son who is a senior at Owen High School. If anyone needs as sistance, Ruth will gladly help in any way possible. Her pro fessional yet friendly man agement is deeply appreci ated.
