Summer at the University of Denver

Summer is usually very slow at the University of Denver. The Bookstore is a hub of activity, of course, trying to receive and check in all the millions of boxes of books that need to be on the shelves before the fall quarter begins. But out on the campus, things are slow. There is of course the occasional tour group, here to tour the university to see if it is the place they might want to attend school. Each one of these kids is worth maybe $160,000 in future income to the university, so we at the Bookstore have to make them feel very welcome. No kicking them in the backsides when they look at a piece of clothing, and then throw it on the floor. We'll just have to wait until they are actually enrolled.
