This bleak figure will soon be surrounded by books 'md buzzing students, as thc College Bookstore moves The college bookstore has been moved to a new location in what formerly ser- ved as the old library on the second floor of the Administration. Building. The move was made at the close of the second summer session and completed in time to give fall quarter students bet- ter and improved service. The move marked the seventh time since 1946 that the bookstore has changed location. The bookstore has previously been located in what is now the ticket booth located in the lobby of Old Main. Room 105, Room 114, and Room 115 also served as previous book- store locations. The present Placement Office, the Old Smokey area, and the basement of the Physical Education Building have all housed the bookstore in the past. The recent move and expansion, and all previous moves, have been necessi- tated by the great growth of the college and the increased load placed on the bookstore.
