SOFTEK : Tariff < By CANDY M. BAKU Money editor A tariff imposed on Japanese products this past week is causing Columbians to "spend now" for things they were eventually going to buy later, a Columbia salesmanagcr said. News of rising nrices has brought procrastinating customers in to buy before the effect reaches Columbia, said Circuit City super-store salesmanagcr Bill Dempsy. On Friday, President Reagan doubled the import prices of four types of Japanese goods in reaction against Japanese manufac? turers for alleged violations of a ! computer-chip agreement. 1 Tim >,u:u I IIV, Idllll, VYI1ILII I [MilLV. immediately, will apply to some ~ television sets, power hand tools, > lap-top and desk-top computers ; usually used in the home.

International and U.S. trade laws prohibit Reagan from imposing the tariffs on only the Japanese companies that are suspected of continuing to dump ~i~: n..? i ? r ciiipN. uui auiiimiMi auuu uificials confirmed the tariffs are designed to inflict the most damage on those companies, while minimizing any harm done to firms not directly responsible. However, five Japanese manufacturers of desk-top computers and two companies that manufacture power hand tools who are not connected to the chip pact will be penalized by the tariff. Those companies include r> r pi ^anyo, ^anon, :>ony, anarp, n.pson, Makita and Ryobi. Circuit. City's merchandise that will be affected by the tariff are mainly Japanese televisions and audio products. These products comprise up to 40 percent of Circuit City's sales.

BARR Money editor Students who want experience in being entreprenuers, or who just want to unload some of their possessions after spring cleaning can get quick on-hand experience of actually running a business and making money. At the Thieve's Market Bazaar, students can get ex periencc on pricing, merchandising, display and keeping inventory, while actually selling things that they no longer want, said part owner, Linda Scheper. "It's not an old flea market. We like to think of it as a yuppie flea market." Scheper said only "good quality" things are allowed to be sold and the dealers do not "man" their own tables.

"We give dealers a number to indentify their goods, and if they want help, we will show them how to make their goods more appealing," Scheper said. "If they have a lot of glassware, we se' up tables accenting the placesettings, like in a department store." The dealers then fill out an inventory sheet, and bring the things to the bazaar on Fridays where they are coached on display ideas and pricing techniques. "The owner does not stay. In two weeks he should come by to pick up the things we did not sell and his check. It's a no-hassle, garage-less sale."
