Book swap to start soon, student says
Staff Reporter
A student-run, nonprofit book exchange will eliminate the 25 percent price markup by textbook publishers and save participating students time. The institution started the exchange said yesterday.
Tom Van Holt, Rochester, N.Y., senior, who began publicizing his idea more than a month ago, said. We have representatives in our plan has received a very positive response."

Each book a student contributes will receive two point redeemable dollar the book is not in stock.
"For example, if you contribute $80 worth of books, you will receive 120 points." Van Buren said.
Tom Van Holt, Rochester, N.Y., senior, is the mastermind behind a nonprofit book exchange that should save students money. Students will be able to exchange used books for points, and the points in turn for books needed next semester.
THAT STUDENT WOULD be able to withdraw 600 worth of books from the system. Book supplies and student needs will be matched up on the AURH computer.
The book exchange received the backing of the Association of University Residence Halls in mid-November. Along with its endorsement, AURH provided the group with $1,300 for advertising and printing costs and the use of the AURH computer.
Van Holt said the Kansas Union Bookstore has provided a great deal of assistance with the
"Everyone thinks the Kansas Union Bookstore would be out to get us," he said. "Actually, they have been very helpful. They are a nonprofit organization, too. It is the publishers who make all of the money."
"The system." Van Holt said, "is a little difficult to explain."
BASICALLY, THE BOOK exchange runs on a points system. A volunteer student manager is at every residence hall except Joseph R. Pearson Hall Van Holl said that yesterday he had completed arrangements with the Panhellenic Association to have a manager at each sorority. He is still working with the Interfraternity Council.
"We are both interested in providing what's best for students."
The Union Bookstore has provided the group with a master list of books being ordered by professors for next semester. The Book Exchange will use the list to screen books so that they only accept books that can be used next semester.
The student representatives are responsible for gathering order forms from students in the living groups. On the forms, students list the classes they will be taking the next semester and the books they have to contribute to the system.
"All of these order forms must be turned in by Dec. 10." Van Holt said.
"We eliminate the overhead costs of middlemen by having student volunteers,"
STEVE WORD, GENERAL manager of the Union Bookstores, said, "We're cooperating with him. We're here for the benefit of the students. Obviously, we're willing to try something that might help the students."
Word said book exchanges had been tried before at KU and they usually lasted about the same amount.
students at the beginning of the spring semester
"I think Tom is trying to organize what has already been going on as long as there have been colleges and universities — the swap he's," he said. "Maybe it'll work this time."
If a student is left with excess points in the system, one of three options is available. The student can donate the excess points to the exchange, receive credit towards the next semester in the book exchange or receive refunds when the excess books are sold to
Van Holt said his plan was "essentially risk free."
Commission votes to help Indian Center
Bv CHRIS BARBER
"No one will be putting more into the system than they get out," he said. "In one way or another, every student will be compensated for the books they contribute."
Additional financing for the Lawrence Indian Center's new building caused arguments last night at the Lawrence City Commission meeting.
Staff Reporter
Commissioners argued first about whether the support would be viewed as a requirement or an offer to the center, then about how much support should be given.
The commission voted 41, with Commission Mike Amyx opposed, to match any additional money, up to $6,500, raised by the center, 190 Haskell Ave. The new location will be about one-half block from the present building.
"The city has committed a great number of dollars to the project," he said. "That's a very firm commitment."
The city already has devoted $55,000 to the project, which Amyx said after the meeting was his reason for voting against the additional support.
AMYX SAID HE had met with Lynn Goodell, director of community development last week to see whether the court found in accordance with the $55,000 the city had committed.
"I don't want to get to the point where this additional support doesn't end." he said.
Commissioner Nancy Shurtlez proposed that the commission match the Indian Center's money up to $13,000, but the commission voted down her proposal. 3-2.
"I think they deserve all the support we can give them. Shontz said after the meeting."
Commissioner David Longhurst, who voted against Shontz's motion, said that he feared too much commission support could make a project look like the city was all doing the work.
"IT IS IMPORTANT that every one do the best they can to put this project together." Longhurst said. "It is very important that this whole undertaking not create any riffs in the Indian community or the community as a whole."
Virgil Free, director of the Indian center, said after the meeting that he was pleased with the commission's decision.
"Our next step is to increase our fund raising efforts." Free said. "$6,500 seems a good start."
Shontz objected to what Mayor Ernest Angino called "challenging" the Indian center because she said it seemed as if they were required to meet certain goals.
"Every time the Indian Center people come up with whatever we have required of them, we add further requirements and we tell them," said "I'm getting embarrassed by them."
"It doesn't seem to stop."
But Commissioner David Longhurst disagreed.
"WE'RE NOT SUGGESTING that it's necessary that you come up with another $6,500 dollars." Longhurst said. "We're saying on top of everything else we'll do."
Angino concurred with Longhurst. "A dollar-for-dollar match says there will be more coming," he said.
Copiers give out as semester's end draws near

While one of the working copy machines at Watson Library droned through its labor, Jolene Haverkamp leaned against the wall and waited her turn.
"It always seems that people need the copiers more this time of the semester, but there's only one or two that are working." said Haverkamp, Baileyville junior.
As she talked, Warren Moline was moving from one machine to another among the six. "I don't know," he said.
When Moline, a service representative for IBM, arrived, only three of the six machines were on site.
Nancy Shawbaker, assistant to the dean of libraries, said she reviewed use of equipment in the libraries on a regular basis and had already cody copage usage during Christmas break.
Replacement is not assured, she said, but any proposal would consider keeping the cost at 5 cents a copy to be an important point. It would also reduce the quantity of copies and durability of the machines.
Moline he would convert one of the machines while he was there yesterday
Moline said he had made service calls to the copying service about every other day since Thanksgiving.
"First of all, the IBM Series II's, while certainly the machines of their day when new, are getting old and tired," she said.
"When you don't have coin operated, it just has to run copies." Moline said. "When
"AT THIS TIME of year, there's always more people who want to copy and more volume per machine," she said. "By the law of averages, they'll go down more."
were in lines in the copying room and in the area east of the room.
"Copying is a convenience that people have come to expect."
ANOTHER WAITING STUDENT. Matt McPherron, Prairie Village sophomore, said copiers were busy or broken in several compus libraries.
"It doesn't seem like there's near the number of enquiries they need," he said.
Sarah Couch, periodicals reading room supervisor, also oversees the copying service at Watson Library. She said the library was having typically higher demand because of the end of the semester.
THE COPYING SERVICE has two machines that will not be ready for use until they are converted to coin-operated usage and electrical outlets are converted to 220 volts.
As he talked, he took a thin tool about 8 inches long and poked inside a copper. With a little probing and prying, he dislodged a coin that had been interligering with the paper flow.
She said most of the machines were 6 to 10 years old and designed for office use, not

Couch said several factors contributed to the problems with the machines.
