By LAURA DODGE Staff Reporter

"I think of Strong Hall as consisting of mainly math and computer science classes," Tina M. Marsden, Chesterfield. Mo. senior, said.
Like Marsden, some students may not know that offices in Strong Hall can help them in such areas as financial aid, fact-finding, study skills improvement and a number of other areas.
ADMISSIONS AND RECORDS: 128 Strong Hall, 864-9311. The major responsibility of the office of admissions and records is the admission of undergraduates to the University. The office also gives assistance with fees, identification cards, drop/add procedures and class withdrawals.

Choices available to students in Lawrence for school books
By JILL M. YATES Staff Reporter
Several local bookstores carry many of the textbooks required for KU courses and will buy used texts back from students.
Every semester, KU students flock to the Kansas Union Bookstore to purchase their textbooks. There are, as well as alternatives to this traditional method.
J. Hood Bookseller, 1401 Massachusetts St., often carries books for Western Civilization and English classes, John Hood, owner, said.
Hood's has a limited selection.
HOOD SAID THE selection depended on how many books were sold back to him.
Adventure A Bookstore, 1010 Massachusetts St., can make special orders for students in addition to off-road tours. Mary Williams, store employee, said.
however, and all of the books are used. Hood said.
Williams said Adventure A Bookstore did not sell used textbooks but they would buy back used texts, depending on their condition.
The Jayhawk Book Store also buys

to his website.
ANOTHER SOURCE of new and used textbooks is the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1428 Crescent Road.
The Town Crier, 930 Massachusetts St., carries some of the required paperback books, such as classics and also has notes for Western Civilization classes, but it does not really deal in them, said Betsy Williams, store employee.
Although there are alternatives to the Kansas Union Bookstore, that store is the only one that operates on a nonprofit basis. The Union sells texts at the publishers suggested retail price and pays a 5 percent dividend at the end of each semester on all items bought there.
