Students voice concern
over library copier rates
By Michele Brinkmann
The Battalion
Some Texas A&M students
are complaining of this semes
ter’s 100 percent price increase
in the cost of photocopies made
in Sterling C. Evans Library.
The price of copies increased
from five cents to 10 cents over
the two-week break before the
fail semester. During this
time, the University switched
change contractors who had
submitted bids to the A&M
business services office.
Pete Manias, the student
services chairman for the Stu
dent Senate, said although not
many people have complained
to him, he has talked to con
stituents who think the raise
was too drastic.
“I am trying to see what I
can do about it,” Manias said.
“A lot of people use the li
brary and raising the cost of
copies without students know
ing was unfair. We’ll do what
we can to lower the price or at
least find out why it hap
pened,” Manias said.
Manias said he is waiting to
see if the increase is discussed
at the next library council
meeting.
Jim Sawtelle, a graduate
student in business adminis
tration, said the price increase
is unfair.
“It reminds me of price goug
ing,” Sawtelle said.
“The price went up 100 per
cent, if it continues at 10 cents a
copy there will be many students
who will have a lot of additional
expenses,” Sawtelle said.
Sawtelle wants the Univer
sity to either reduce the price
or allow additional contractors
into the library to compete
against the 10 cent copiers.
“Many places in town charge
two and five cents for copies,”
he said. “If the University can
not provide what the local mar
ket can, then they should be al
lowed to set up in the library.”
Gerry Smith, associate di
rector of A&M business ser
vices, said he compared library
copy prices to other Bryan-Col-
lege Station stores that offer
copying.
He said prices varied be
tween two and 15 cents.
He said the University
raised prices of the copies to 10
cents because it would have
been too hard to charge stu
dents a price such as seven
cents per copy.
After the previous compa
ny’s contract expired, the Uni
versity accepted bids from sev
eral companies and went with
the best option, Smith said.
“I think the program will be
tremendous for library pa
trons,” Smith said. “Patrons
will receive new, better and
faster services.”
Sawtelle said he didn’t think
the increase in service is propor
tional to the increase in price.
“The service did not go up
100 percent like the price did,”
he said.
“The new machines copy
things faster. You don’t have
to stand in line as long, but
that advantage is not worth
the price.
“The price increase affects
