With this commitment we are able to offer 50 of retail price on all books that publishers classify as text and ?3313 of retail price on all books classified as trade. ; What about hooks no longer used? A buyer will offer you the current wholesale price on all books that have a value. This price is determined by the law of supply and demand, and if the book has been in circulation for a long time or is not being used by many iother schools, this price will probably be less. Many students feel itheir books are worth more to them for their personal library than ;the amount the bookstore buyer can offer for them. This you must ;aecide tor yourself. '..

Student Union o oesigmi i Westcooiit By KATHRYNE TOVO A Staff Writer v V After a nine-month search, a new development firm has been chosen for the Westcourt project. Antoine Puech, a partner inHhe project, said the new development firm Davidson and Jones of Raleigh has drawn a new design for Westcourt. 1 '- The specifics of the design are being kept confidential, but Puech said the new plan is significantly different from the original. Chapel Hill Town Council member David Godschalk said the new plan will need to be submitted to the planning board and to the couacil before any construction can beginl The project was given an extension by the town council in November. Several council members expressed their dissatisfaction with the design of the project at that meeting. -j Julie Andresen, a council member who voted against the original proposal and the application for die extension, said she was very eager ;to see the new plan for the project. J "Although the addition of retail business and residential units are desirable, the building is unattrac tive," she said in November. Andresen said she hopes the new design will have some retail busi nesses on the ground level and will handle the parking situation realistically. The project has encountered sev eral setbacks since it was approved a few years ago. i In October 1988, a major financial backer of the project was imprisoned for embezzlement. Guilford Waddell, a UNC graduate and Chapel Hll businessman, was given a 12-ydar prison sentence for embezzling S2 million from his clients. j Waddell was replaced by Antoine Puech and Jack Behrman, who were named general partners of the limited partnership that controls Westcourt. Puech said attorney Kenneth Broun is now negotiating a settlement with the bankruptcy trustee to iden tify what financial interests Waddell has remaining in the project. ' , I "We (the partnership) feel Waddell has been more than compensated by the development, and perhaps he has no more interests' Puech said. "However, this is a matter. fpr negotiation." The project was granted an exten sion by the Chapel Hill Town Council ' in November.' :;' - " -v j The ; approved application .would have created.rresidences, offices and retail stores on Rosemary Street ahd at the intersection of West Franklin and Church streets across from University Square. Road Plan from page 1 traffic capacity into and out of Chapel Hill, to eliminate traffic congestion and to provide- increased access ito North Carolina Memorial Hospitajl. "People tend to think that if'ypu widen a road it will be more congested because of an increase in traffic,4 qut really the widening will make the tofrd less congested, because cars will be able to travel more quickly," Webb said. II Another reason for the expansion of the road is increasing bicycle 'ahd pedestrian safety, he said. ' "Sight distance along Soujth Columbia is not good at all, and whfen you have .bicyclists and pedestrians using a street, safety should be a primary concern," Webb said. j The DOT proposals include flat tening the curve along South Colum bia Street between Chase Avenue ahd Mason Farm Road. Flattening the curve will improve sight distance, le said. Several Chapel Hill residents attended the meeting and voiced concerns on a variety of issuis, including the future of Merrjtrs Store, the preservation of the existing stone walls along South Columbia Street, and the destruction of horhes and property to make way for the expansion. t J DOT representatives at the meet ing worked to assure concerned citizens that all aspects of the project would be investigated before the projected 1992 construction date.; William Frey, a commuting bicy clist and an employee at North Carolina Memorial Hospital, saidhis concerns were with the future of fiike lanes along the street and traffia; at the intersection of South Columbia and Pittsboro streets. X "The traffic at South Columbia and Pittsboro is very dangerous, ibid I'm concerned the increased flow; of traffic through the intersection vyill make matters worse," Frey said. .
