Blue tag specials are discounts, usually of 50 percent, that are randomly drawn throughout the night and offered only for a IO-minute period. "You don't need to purchase the item during the 10 minutes-j ust make sure you're there and get the blue tag mark on it. "When you're ready to leave, you can check out as usual and the item you received with a blue tag will be rung up for that price," Batt said. The Bookstore is not only offering fabulous sales but free gift wrapping and refreshments. Batt reminds students to "bring your student I.D.; the sale is only for students, but immediate family is also invited."
