Things that one would consider bask items to a "bookstore" such as a book of poetry are nowhere tob e found. Nor is it possible to buy a Dasic grsininar book for reference in our "Bookstore." There are sweatshirts for sale in the •Bookstore." There are mugs and records and candy and art supplies and toothpaste and film and stationery-, but there are only a limited number of books to be found in our •Bookstore." Why then is it called a "bookstore'*? It seems that this strange habit of calling a mini- department store a "bookstore" isn't singular to SRU. The "bookstore" at Grove City College claims that is sells more clothing than books (except for book rush) and still calls itself a "bookstore " The manager at the Westminster College "Bookstore" says she keeps more clothing than books in stock because people buy the clothing and not the books, even though she also stocks the top 15 books on each of the major book lists. Things aren't any different at Edinboro University either. Clerks in that bookstore say they sell "lots more clothing and don't keep as many books because people don't buy them." So why are these shops being called •bookstores"0 It would appear that once book rush is over and the text books are bought that only a token amount of literature is kept in slock. "Bookstore" managers can't really be blamed. It is after all a matter of supply and demand, but isn't there something about "bait and switch ' that makes it unethical to call a mini-department store a "bookstore'"1 Perhaps the powers that be throughout academia believe that it is essential to a university campus to have a "bookstore." There are standards to be maintained, but it Letters to the Editor *eems they are being met in name only Students apparently are more interested in sweatshirts than books.
