AUC Book store Blues By Keith Allen STAFF WRITER It seems that every semester, there’s always one question: “What’s wrong with the bookstore?” This year, according to officials, the bookstore is having major problems. The bookstore is a coopera- tive enterprise of Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Clark College, Morris Brown College and the Interdenominational Theologi- cal Center. It is operated by the Atlanta University Center, Inc. The bookstore opened 10 years ago, and according to officials, it operates on a annual budget of $850,000, as reported in the April 20 issue of the Clark College Panther. One of the major problems that the bookstore is having is that many instructors have turned their book orders in late. “It’s either teachers don’t know what subject to teach, or what class to teach, or a new instructor comes,” says William Singleton, the AUC bookstore textbook manager. “Usually we accept book orders in April for the fall semester, while we usually accept book orders in November for the spring semester. ’ Dr.- Larry Earvin, dean of Faculty and Instruction, at Clark College begged to differ: “Our instructors send copies of their book orders to us, then we keep a file on record. We are sensitive to this problem and we hope next semester, that they will have a more efficient At one particular time my books weren’t in and I don’t know if it was the fault of the bookstore or my instructors.” operation.’’ The facility that houses the Atlanta University Center’s books is quite small, yet it houses books for the five surrounding schools. “We don’t have that large of an operation,’’ says Dr. Prince Rivers of the Atlanta Univer- sity Center, Inc. which runs the bookstore. “A larger facility would help diversify our product. It would give a more efficient system of purchases, but this requires money and we don’t have it.’’ Rivers stated that renova- tions took plate over the summer. “We fixed up the bookstore and it cost us $20,000 to the bookstore a more attractive and efficient operation. Basically, we arc only responsible for textbooks.” Students are the ones who need the textbooks, however, many are not getting them. “Two of my books have not arrived,” said Cynthia LaRose, a sophomore at Clark. “At one particular time my books weren’t in and I don’t know if it was the fault of the 'bookstore or my instructors,” said Jason Coleman, a senior at Clark. “I’m not pleased with the prices of school supplies such as notebooks, paper and pens, etc. either, he added. The officials at the bookstore have promised to work to improve the arrival of text- books next semester. But they added that they must get cooperation from instructors with early, book orders. •' 15
