M~re space needed
in NA U Bookstore
BY ANDREA GOLD
Has NAU outgrown its bookstore?
Indications are 1t has.
There is a definite lack of floor and
storage space, bookstore officials said.
Assistant Bookstore Manager Joat&ie
Brund1ge says there 1s just not enough
floor space.
·'There 1s no storage room except the
available floorspace . The store was built
m 1967 for an enrollment capactty of 3-
4,000 students. The enrollment is now
past 10.000." she said.
Thts space hmttation is one cause of
book shortages for classes.
" We cannot overbuy books because
there is limtted space in which to store
them ... she said.
!\"AU President J. Lawrence Walkup
has asked bookstore manager Bob
Gardner to compile information concer­ning
an expansion to the bookstore.
··rm ready to go on with an expansion
but I need the approval of the Board of
Regents ... Walkup said
Dean Joseph Rolle is handling the
study to determine the momes to be used
for the expansion, using profits
generated from the bookstore.
·rt ts a~reed we do need an expansion.
Walkup. Gardner, and I will review the
type of butlding needed, in the next few
weeks ... Rolle satd
He hoped to have sufficent funds to
begin construction by next fall.
The report wtll be submitted to Walkup
within a month. said Gardner.
.. A possible addilton may be L-shaped
and built on the east side of the present
bookstore, .. Gardner said.
\\ alkup said the bastc structure could
be built and finished with additional
funds later
Another cause of book shortage is the
growmg enrollment. The bookstore
orders texts on the basis of the teacher's
estimated enrollment and a historical
hie of the past enrollment of each class.
Book orders must be in the bookstore
otfice by April for the fall semester and
by October for the spring semester.
This early-order policy allows time for
preparation of book buy-back lists
Brundtge said. if a publisher is out of
stock tor a certain text, the bookstore
will experience a delay.
" I want to create a bookstore that
students can shop in regularly, not only
dunng the rush beginning each
semester.·· satd Brundige.
Bookstore thefts cost money
Shopliftmg costs the NAU Bookstore
thousands of dollars each year, mana~er
Bob Gardner said.
Gardner said he will soon study the shoplif-ting
problem.
Preventative measures, strictly enforced
are the key to solving the problem, he said.
"We need help from the students if we are
to keep the atmosphere relax:ed. We have
been too trushng,'' Joanie Brundige, assist­ant
manager said.
Shopliftmg losses mclude books and
other 1tems m the bookstore, Gardner said.
hassles postpone concert
tract to have it signed and returned.
On the theory that AS~AU and Pure
Prairie League had settled on an agree­ment.
the council entered into publicity
with posters and ticket sales.
Pure Prairie League had agreed to use
NAU's hght and sound system~ in the
original agreement, Lambert sa1d.
However. as the week proce~ed on
with negotiations, the group ~ecaded to
rent their own equipment. wh1ch would
cost $1.500.
··we (ASNAUl agreed to pay half of
the cost to make Pure Prairie League
and the students happv." said Lambert.
The agent said he had not received
NA u· s contract.
"Not having the signed contract in our
possession created the problems. The
group kept g1 ving us trouble," said
Lambert
The agent called again requesting that
A~:'lAU pay the entire $1,500 for the
equipment
·we decided that 1t wasn't worth the
money. The council is not here to cut our
own throats. It was not economically
ft:asible, .. he said.
ASNAU stuck to its origmal offer to
pa~ $750 for half the needed equ1pment.
The agent dec1ded Aug. 27 the group
would not agree to ASNAU's tenns,
Lambert said.
Bruce Stahmer, ASNAU publicity
cha1rman, said, "We sold approximately
800 ltckets which totaled $2,000 by
Fnday:·
1 icket refunding will continue through
this week in the ASNAU office, UU 208.
