Bookstores provide students with way to reduce expenses
Gas prices likely to raise book costs
Kansan staff writer
If there was ever a look of dread, the face of Jim Finnegan. Overland Park freshman, showed it as he and his classmates did the total of his textbook purchases.
His brow was furrowed as he wiped away sweat and wrote a check for $196.
This scenario will be replayed as students buy their books this week. But as expensive as the books are, instructors have a way to ease the main.
Students can receive a rebate that refunds to students 7 percent of their total receipts from purchases made the previous semester.
The rebate applies only to cash or check purchases. Credit-card purchases are not included because KU Bookstore does not accept credit card transactions.
Dean Syerson, a clerk at the Kansas University Bookstore, said that because many classes used new editions, he would not resell their old books and were
Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Kansas and Burden Urms, said the program had paid back $2 million that it was implemented at KU in 1944.
Mike Reid, manager of KU Bookstores, said KU was the only Big Eight school that offered a rebate program.
"Students can reduce a big chunk of their costs for books," he said. "For example, if a student had to buy a $4 book, he could buy a used one for $3." He suggested that students and the book buyback, that textbook would end up costing only $7.90."
Students who do not wish to save their receipts can place them in a box that will be placed next to registers beginning Sept. 18. Rebates from those register tapes will go to the women's athletic department
Last year, proceeds from the rebate program to women's athletics totaled between $600 and $1,500. Reid said.
Textbook prices eventually will increase because of rising gasoline prices, Reid said. Most of the books were in the store before the Middle East crisis, but Spring 1991 books will be more expensive than the average percent fuel surcharge, which has been added to all new shipments.
With each purchase, the bookstore hands out an envelope that explains the program. Reid said only students were eligible for this program because it was implemented as a way to give something back to students who supported the bookstores with their student fees.
Tim Earp, Lee's Summit, Mo., junior, said he had resigned himself to paying high book prices.
Bo O'Neil, Hinstine, ill, sophore, more, said, "I freaked when I saw the Spanish and geography books. I saw them as best but most of them are new editions.
"The first year a student comes to KU, it's a shock for them to pay the prices because most come from a public school where their books were made in China. That's the best way to prepare yourself for the prices is to just expect it."
Although the average student spends $200 a semester on classes and could receive $14 back from the 7 percent rebate program, only 17 percent of students took advantage of the rebate last year, Reid said.
