oeace talks between President Mergistu Haile Mariam’s lefr.st

and a scare
— t iriermined by market
demand and the neccessity of the
item to the student. A University
sweatshirt will have a higher
markup than a required textbook,
but it still has to sell at a compet
itive price.
New required textbooks are dis
counted 5 percent from suggested
retail, Bryan said. This is possible
because the bookstore can earn a
large part of the profit through the
sale of luxury items.
“I like to tell student* that they
should be happy when the football
team plays at home," he said.
"When all the alumni come to
town, park on their grass and buy
up the bookstore, they’re helping to
keep the prices of books down.”

Administrators sent the pro
posal to Sen. Wyche Fowler in 1989
for Congress to consider funding.
Although officials at the experi
ment station don’t know when they
will receive word on whether or not
the lab will be federally funded,
they are “encouraged and opti
mistic,” Buchanan said.
ESPAL’s projected $6 million
price tag is “not unusual for a
modem, up-to-date lab,” nor would
the 32,000-square foot addition
make the Coastal Plain Station
much larger than the rest of the
University’s experiment stations,
