Book Store 1 Hallmark cards were one ol the many new items offered by the Booh Store During the 1979-80 school year the NSU book store sold an increased variety and quantity of materials A wider selection of Hallmark cards, T-shirts, stuffed animals, and paper- back books made the busi- ness a challenge to area retail stores. Reasons for the increased number of sales by the book store included the fact that it offered more to the students and that the new traffic circle in front of the book store added to the convenience of customers.

The supply of books was usually suffi- cient, but there were times when there just weren ' t enough books to go around. contemporary 49 Bft B FOL SIXTEEN
