Bookstore reopens with new look, fewer books by Diane Wrobleski staff writer The bookstore at Cabrini College began a new chapter before Thanksgiving, as a two-week renovation project was launched. The purpose of the renovation was not only to modernize and upgrade the store's appearance but also to organize and distribute the flow of traffic evenly throughout the aisles. However, a few complications did arise, as the store opened to this new chapter. The store is run by the Follett company of Chicago, an indepen-

dent contractor, which designed and supplied the store with new shelves, display racks and other materials. Follett operates over 425 college stores throughout the United States. ThecompanybeganleasingCabrini's store in April of 1992, but the decision to renovate did not occur until this past July, when the plan was financially activated through the college's budget agreement with Follett. The renovation work itself could not begin until later in the fall semester, so the inconvenience would be minimal upon the students. The changes include a new layer of paint, new racks, stronger shelving and more gift displays. The new racks and shelves are designed to create more walking space and increase the storage quantity of each product on the shelves. Their organization also reduces the time spent searching for books
and other supplies. Although no structural or electrical alterations occurred, the store's new layout changes its appearance. According to store manager George Kobeissi, said, "It used to look like a warehouse, but now it's clean, and it looks like a book store. It provides more supplies and clothing, which improves service." Another noticeable change is not only within the walls of the store, but on the walls. Support of school spirit is expressed through the choice of colors used in the new layer of blue ahd white paint. Even little Cavs can show their school spirit by wearing the newly available baby T-shirts. Some of the students noticed the blue and white colors. Junior Chris Erdmann said, "I think it's essential to takeprideinyourschool. Italsomakes things more comfortable."
The renovations may not have been obvious to everyone passing through the Widener Center. Senior Dana Caterson said, "The reason I noticed the changes was from seeing all of the trash lined up outside the store in the Wigwam. There weren't any signs or notices explaining the process, so I looked in the windows. "It is similar to the old store, but the arrangement is better." Some students did notice that work was going on inside the store. They were curious to see what kind of changes were taking place. Sophomore Bryan Geraghty said, "I noticed some changes that were taking place, so I kept glancing in through the windows to see what was happening." One major concern lies in the fact that Cabrini's bookstore is present! y book.less. Books spend only six weeks of their shelf life on Cabrini's

shelves, at the beginning of each semester. The books are then sent back to the companies after this period. This is because the store loses money on idle books. Erdmann said, "A book I needed was already sent back, so I had to buy a different translation, which made things unnecessarily difficult." Kobeissi said, ·'Toe faculty has been informed to tell students that they must buy their books at the beginning of each semester because of this." However, "Students can order certain books, but they will incur the extra costs of shipping and handling. I'm willing to accept suggestions," Kobeissi said. The bookstore will continue to stay open during business hours, throughout the conclusion of the renovation project.
