According to the directors of University Bookstore and Nebraska Bookstore, University of Nebraska- Lincoln faculty members have yet to notify the stores of about 25 percent of the books stu- dents must purchase lor classes this spring. When bookstores begin buy- ing back fall semester books next week, they will buy used books they know are needed next semester at 50 or 60 per- cent of the books' new price. They will buy unneeded books back at 5 to 30 percent of their original price. As a result, when faculty members do not turn in required book lists for their spring courses before fall text- book buyback starts, students are paid less for their used books. The bookstore campaigned heavily this semester for facul- ty to turn in their book lists on time, said Viann Schroeder.
