  • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1977/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 13 Book Rental Dept. begins new policy The Book rental Department has adopted i important policy concerning the late fees of delinquent books at the end of an academic term. In previous years, there was simply a $5 charge on any book returned to the book exchange—regardless of how late it was returned. This year, all books must be returned within a maximum of five days after the end of each semester or each book must be paid for at a cost of 20 per cent less than list price. This is the same amount the book rental pays for these books. T. G. Emmons, general manager of the University Book and Supply Store and the Book Rental Department, said the reason for having to impost this stricter policy is because of "delinquent books out the kazoo." There have been up to $10,000 worth of overdue books after some quarters in the past. The primary problem with so many overdue books is planning for the next term. The ordering of new books for the next term must be done well before the present term In the past, the Book Rental Department would find itself at the beginning of a quarter with either too many or too few books, because it was hard to predict how many books from the previous term would still be laying around on students' shelves when the new quarter If the Book Rental orders too many books, it loses money, because publishers will not take back the books after they have already been stamped witn tne Book Rental's name, and some publishers will not even take back books that have not been stamped. Even when it is possible to return the books, the Book Rental still loses money because it costs up to 70 cents per book in shipping. If the Book Rental fails to order enough books, and students fail to return theirs at the end of a term, then other students find themselves without a needed text book and have to wait two to three weeks for one to be ordered. hmmons stressed that this new policy is strictly a preventive measure: "We want them to turn the books in. We don't want to force them to buy the book." This is the official policy that every student agreed to with their signature at the Book Rental Department: All rental books are checked back into the Book Rental Department at the end of the semester. Rental books are to be returned to the Book Rental Department no later than five working days after the end of the semester. Students not complying with this five-day rule will be required to pay the replacement cost (list less 20 per cent) for each book which is outstanding. Grossly mistreated books must be bought by the student. The student is reminded that the Book Rental would much rather have the book back than the replacement money. The reason a replacement fee must be paid is tat if a book has been left outstanding very long, chances are that a replacement book has already been ordered.
