Students love the crowds, chaos and commotion of Book rush ilivery quarter students flock back to OU a few days early to get reacquainted with old friends, have a few beers, register at the Convo and join the throngs of people at book rush. The two bookstores, the College Bookstore and Logan ' s, hire extra employees for this infamous event. These employees form a small army which circulates around the stores helping frustrated students find the books that they need, but hate to buy. It is not unusual to hear students tallying up the cost of their books and coming up with figures of $80 or more. Unfortunately, that ' s the price of an education. The store from which students choose to buy their books is a matter of personal preference and stock. The prices in the two stores are fairly consistent. A junior from Plainview, NY, Andy Boyd, buys his books before classes start. I buy my books at the College Bookstore because I like the set-up. It is also easier to sell your books back at the end of the quarter. Students can receive up to half the amount they paid for their books when selling them back. Book rush can be a bit intimidating for beginners but the employees at the bookstores are very helpful. ].]. Hargrave, from Poland, Ohio, said, As a freshman, my first impression of book rush was that it reminded me of a combination of a rush on Wall Street and a hockey game. I buy my books wherever the shortest line is. — Judy Polas Don Mormon, engineering major from Findioy, ciimbs trie staci s at the Coilege Booltstore to retrieve some more economic boolts during foii quarter bool rush Lines, iines and more iines await students at the begin ning of any quarter at the book stores.
