SABEX offers . new service by Angela Haley Bison editor "This year, the bookstore will be surprised, " said Jim Hull, chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee of the Student Association, in reference to t he new SABEX program. "SABEX" stands for the Student Association Book Exchange, and this year the program is in full swing. According to the statistics so far, the response has been "incredible,' ' with over 2,200 books to be linked with buyers. The program works by allowing students to turn in statements listing books they want to sell followed by a sheet listing books they want to buy. The buyers and sellers are then entered into the computer and each student is provided with a sheet listing all the books for sale with the student's name and number. The program was created by Jason Pace, who is also on the committee and a member of the Economics Team. The SABEX program surprisingly has many advantages over the "buy back day" at the end of each semester. A student can average $5.00 a book by using the SABEX either buying or selling. Usually, the bookstore will buy back a book for approximately ten dollars less than what was paid for it originally. Through SABEX you can sell a book between the price the bookstore would buy it back for, and the price you originally paid, leaving an average of five dollars. It works vice versa for buying. Hull says that this year is very experimental for SABEX, but so far they've smelled success.
