need to 0®^ "books e.s cheaply as possible, Phyllis Register - Sophomore I think an investi:_,ation of this type is lone past due at this school. The students have enough expenses vrithout havins to pay exhorbitant prices for books and other supplies. Also, even thou:_h the honor system is enforced in all other areas of the school, a person entering the bookstore is treated as a potential thief until he has paid for his supplies and walked out, V/ayne Kanoy — Sophomore I am £ill for the investiG^ation to take place, I think the bookstore should accomodate the student as much as possible to save him money. I am sure the students here at Elon v/ill be able to save on book fees, paper, "pencils, etc, if the bookstore manaLement v;ould cooperate by bein^ interested in the student*'s financial status, Deetz V.'elch — Junior I definitely feel that the bookstore ou^ht bo be investigated. If they refuse to submit to investigation, I feel another store should be opened in competition, operated by the student govern ment, A book rental system v/ould not be a bad idea. Jerry Ha.yberry ~ Freshman I do not think they overcharge for the books. Hov/ever, certain books are not available v/hen they are needed. The quality of some of the books could be improved, Margaret Young - Freshma.n I am very much in favor of such an investigation as I feel that the bookstore is unreasonable in many of the supplies and books which it sells. I have purchased inferior supplies at a higher price than other supply stores dov/ntovm, Kent Kancxim - Junior This bookstore charGss too much money for their books. You can cet the same books cheaper at other.’bookstores, r Imov/ that the bookstore does not i;,ive out information on v;hat books vjill be used for the next year so that near-by bookstores cannot stock up on them. Lea Mitchell - Senior I am in favor of a bookstore investigation. I v/ould like to be able to buy paper be.ck textbooks vfhenever the books are published in that manner, I have had the experience several times of purchasinC; an expensive hard be^ck copy of a book and later finding, that it is available elsevliere in paperback, I also find that other supplies - paper, erasures, pencils - are cheo-per at stores in Burlinjjton. Kathy Krejci - Sophomore I also feel that the prices of books in our bookstore are extremely hic,h. An investi£jation of this matter should be made immediately. If there is no improvement, the student should take his business else’.jhereJ' Harold O’Briant - Freshman I think the prices are rediculous because I Imov; of various bookstores in Curhcm '..here the prices for the ssjne articles available in the Elon Colle^,e bookstore are much less.
