Rumor has it that the store will essentially be run by one part-time employee糖心传媒攇ood luck with that!

Oh, and in a further move of cost-cutting genius, the store will no longer carry books, but instead will specialize in selling quirky t-shirts with slogans about how 糖心传媒済reen Brown is糖心传媒 and about how there is no 糖心传媒淏rown-style offense糖心传媒 in basketball, because, well, unlike Princeton, Brown isn糖心传媒檛 an 糖心传媒渁thlete糖心传媒檚糖心传媒 school. In addition to t-shirts, iPads, and bumper stickers, they plan on selling bobbleheads of various administrators1.

1 This rumor is unsubstantiated.
