Area retailers
get 2 options
for survival
University New* Servic*
Local retailers Tuesday were told
by an A AM retailing specialist they
have baucallv two options for survi
val they can charge a low price
and offer tew services or they can of
fer more service at higher prices —
and anyone in between simply won't
make it.
“ The middle ground is no place to
be and it’s going to be increasingly
important for anybody there to get
out one way or the other,” said Dr.
George Lucas of the Center for Re
tailing Studies in the College of Busi
ness Administration
Speaking to local retailers in a
symposium sponsored by the Bryan-
College Station Chamber of Com
merce. Lucas explained there are ba
sic ally two dimensions to retailing:
service and price.
‘Retailers who offer a lot of serv
ice at a low price are what we call the
‘crowd’ in Chapter 11," he said
“They’re not being financially re
sponsible. f hose who offer low serv
ice at a high price are what we call
the ‘the lonelv ones' in Chapter 11."
He said the survivors will he the
low price/low service stores or the
high price/high service stores.
The best alternative for retailers
to survive and prosper in a hostile
environment is to Find a niche, de
velop a strategy to serve it, then com
municate a distinct and consistent
image about what the More is and
what it offers to both its employees
and customers. Lucas said
“The best niches center around
value, which includes what custom
ers pay out and what they pet back,”
he explained “Value has little to do
with economics It's a feeling on the
part of consumers that they’ve
gained more from an exchange of
their money and time for a partic
ular product or service than they
would have from any other option
they’re aware of."
He said stores that are successful
five up to then promises
“Nothing makes me madder than
a huge sign saving that customers
are number one when they really
aren't,” he said, adding that stores
that choose the service route over
the low-pnce route generally have
the advantage in the marketplace.
“Low prices are easy to imitate,
but good service isn't,” he said.
“People like to shop where they are
known and where they know they
will obtain good service.
"Obtaining a reputation for bad
service is like gelling an ink stain on
vour shirt. It stavs there forever."

Reporter
One year after sute cutbacks-
tnpled tuition for foreign students
at Texas A&M. a student adviser re
ports that the number of interna
tional students has seen only an in
significant decline
Adviser Tina Watkins savs that al
though some reports show a de
crease in international student en
rollment. the majority of the decline
in non-resident student enrollment
has been from out-of-state students.
“The international student enroll
ment only dropped from 1624 stu
dents in frail 1984 to 1596 students
in Fall 1985," she says. “That's only a
decrease of about 1.7 percent. I
would say that is a pretty insignifi
cant loss."
In fact. Watkins savs that this year
AAcM is anticipating more interna
tional student enrollment than
usual. So far, 560 inlet national stu
dents have been admitted to A AM
and Watkins savs more are expected
before the start of the fall semester.
Although the tuition increase has
not forced many of the international
students to withdraw, she savs, it has
caused some financial distress.
"I had a lot of foreign students
coming into mv office crying when
they announced the tuition in
crease.” Watkins says. "Many of the
students had organized loans from
their banks at home and were not
prepared for an increase in tuitmn.”
Other students who were sup
ported bv tolleges in their own coun
try or by their government had to
explain to their sponsors why tuition
had suddenly tripled, she savs.
Watkins savs The Texas College
and University Coordinating Board
increased tuition from $40 to $120
per semester hour last year.
She savs some progress has been
made to help international students
adjust to the increase. Watkins savs
that since the increase, the immigra
tion department has been more le
nient in allowing international stu
dents to work oft campus.
