Bookstore The Mad Rush I lurry, hurry you can't t c late. Or you'll have a couple ot hours to wait. Get out ot bed as early as you must, And get to that bookstore to beat the rush! These are the words to the popular tune that many students sing each semester as they face another episode of the ’Bat tip at the Bookstore The storyline unfolds as students attempt to purchase books for various classes before being caught in the midst of other students and long lines The key is to rise early to catch the first cashier As one enters the maze at the bookstore, students can lx seen using various techniques to search tor the books they need Some walk around peering at course and section numbers, while other students wander around looking tor titles, authors, or colors of books Others simply seek the assistance of the bookstore personnel After the student has tound the book he needs and has unveiled the much dreaded price tag, he rushes toward the checkout line only to find that there are already 50 people ahead of him Long lines are just another part of university living, and for the experienced student beating the mad rush is merely a matter of practice To freshmen, however, the rush to the bookstore is a new and frustrating experience One exasperated freshman described the book store as a crowded New York City street where everyone is going in different directions to get to different destinations Many frst-year students just gaze in amazement with a “these-prkes-and-these-lines-just-can't-be-true'' look on their faces Upperclassmen, accustomed to the situation, use the opportunity to catch up on the latest campus gossip Personnel at the bookstore report that recent semesters have become much easier to handle The staff says the students are usually very cooperative and the publishers sent 95 percent of the needed books on time With thousands ot books piled high waiting to be bought by students, one can see why the early bird is not the one who catches the worm, but the one who beats the mad rush at the bookstore Miriam Arvinger I hr Out Bernard OSver lakes .1 iKeak Ir.jm the rush it. v at(h flowed Uf S ns «fc not.r»K «. ourse set Horn and mslrui kxs rwrw hHp 10 make finding htmks up on some tenure readng 26 Student I tie
