WASHINGTON • L'NIMRSITY- IN • ST LOUIS RECORD Tntfexerl Vol. 15 No. 3/Sept. 13, 1990 Bookstore to remain under University management After reviewing the operations of the nation's two largest commercial college bookstore chains, Washington University's Ad Hoc Committee on Bookstore Operations has recommended that the University continue to operate its own book and computer stores, according to Edward S. Macias, Ph.D., provost. Macias appointed the committee of four faculty members and two students last February after the University received proposals to manage the Campus Bookstore from the Barnes & Noble and the Follett bookstore chains. The committee's recommendation was submitted to the provost this summer. The committee was chaired by Burton Wheeler, Ph.D., professor of English and chair of religious studies. The other members were William P. Darby, Ph.D., chair and associate professor, engineering and policy, Nicholas Dopuch, Ph.D., Hubert C. & Dorothy R. Moog Professor of Ac- counting, Michael W. Friedlander, Ph.D., professor of physics, and sophomore Eric L. Schwartzman and Breaking new ground: LadyGourd Sangoma, four African-American female drummers gaining popularity in a predominantly male music form, will senior Elizabeth A.
