However, buying books online may have some drawbacks. Junior Japanese major at San Diego State University Luke MacQueen said one of the biggest problems with buying books online is not being able to see the books before purchasing them. “I’ve had many friends buy books online that turn out to be in very bad condition,” he said. “That’s probably one of the reasons I haven’t tried buy- ing them online yet.” Junior International security and conflict resolution major at San Diego State University Janet Tsai said she had mixed feelings after ordering textbooks online. “It takes a while to get the books if you don’t want to pay extra for fast shipping or order them last-minute before school begins,” she said. “I received all the right books though, and the prices were a lot cheaper than the school bookstore.” Milgram said one of the biggest advantages to buying books through the Web site is it allows students to comparison shop with ease. Students simply go to the Web site, enter the information on the book they are looking for, select “compare prices” and a list of the best prices offered by several competing book- stores appears, he said.

Additionally, punishing schools that increase costs at twice the CPI by taking away another source of revenue in federal assistance would create a “disaster” and would decrease the overall quality of educa- tion, Courant said. “When you increase price controls, which is what these would be, you get a reduction in quality,” he said.

Fiat AULux • Alfred University • September 16. 2003 Inconsistent offense falls just short at Fisher BY BRYAN SICK EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Even with a totally revamped offense along with the return of senior tailback Jesse Raynor, the 2003 season started out much the same way as 2002 did for the Alfred Saxons. The Saxons were again hit with plenty of injuries, taking several key players out of the game, in their 29-22 loss to St. John Fisher. The defense took a hit right away as senior defensive tackle Douglas Mueller tore a poste- rior cruciate ligament. That was only the beginning of things to come. Newly acquired transfer wide receiver TyQuan Horton suffered a broken hand and junior quarterback Ron Duliba pulled a ham- string in the fourth quarter. Perhaps the most serious came in the third quarter as silence fell over the crowd of more than 3,000 people for about 15 minutes as sophomore linebacker Brenton Brady laid on the field. He suffered a recurrence of some health problems that kept him off the field for half last season. “I’m not sure exactly where we are right now,” said Saxons’ head coach Dave Murray PHOTO BY BRYAN SICK after the game. “They all need medical atten- Junior quarterback Ron Duliba leaps over a pair of St. John Fisher defenders in the first quarter of the Saxons Sept. 6 game in Pittsford, N.Y.
