Charging Supplies. Professor Leo Bilancio purchases some supplies in between his classes. Checking Out the various types of art paper, Tammy Lockiear contemplates whether she should purchase It. In the depths of Hearst Hall lies a place, a necessity to campus life. One place where students could buy any- thing from Almond Hershey bars to books on the Zodiac. Clothing, food, and emblemed dishes line the aisles in small but significant amounts. Even the outrageous gift for that person who has everything had its niche in the selection of paraphenalia. What kind of place has such a wide v ariety of pleasures? Oglethor- pians have no clever little name for this haven. They call it simply - The Bookstore A forum of items for sale and atmo- sphere, the bookstore offered the stuff that college life is made of. If it wasn ' t the tunes of WRAS 88.5 that lured a student into the commons, it was the sound of conversation and the ever present laugh- ter. One could browse at cards or posters or grab a quick bite to eat in the snack room. The aroma of freshly popped micro- wave popcorn was enough to draw one to this down-under alone! Off-campus students utilized the snack area for relaxing between classes and often that last minute cramming for a test. The bookstore represents to them, a place to touch base with college life and mix with on-campus students. The bulletin board outside the door allowed them to keep up with the many events that took place throughout the year. To on-campus students the bookstore represented more practical purposes. It meant anything from a job to opportunity for conversation with friends. Even if a student went to this eden to only get change for the laundry machines, he usually ended up staying longer than he intended, always leaving with a smile. Regardless of the purpose of each student ' s visit to the bookstore or length of visit, every encounter there proved to be an interesting and enjoyable one. The bookstore created lots of fun for everyone. 28 THE BOOKSTORE
