Book bargains: Student Book Exchange offers alternative
Today is the last day - to put your old and mangy textbooks up for sale at the Student Book Exchange.
Once upon a time, students could return used texts to a bookseller in the Michigan Union.

Initially, the all-volunteer group borrowed money from the Michigan Student Assembly piggy bank to set up shop with shelves and other operating supplies. By now, the exchange is entirely self-supporting with its 15-percent cut of the profits.

Viewpoint: Students can help secure regent
Do you think that the students at the University should have a say in what happens to the money that they pay in tuition and fees?
