COMMENTARY


How do you feel about the Co-Op bookstore closing?


Paulette Cha is a college senior:
What I told my professor is that I'm out of paper, and without paper I can't do work. However, my professor told me to go to www.staples.com.


Katie DeWitt is a college sophomore:
I'd heard that they were having money trouble but I thought they would close during the summer and not during the middle of the semester. I think it's ridiculous that they're closing without leaving some back-up system for next semester.


Sarah Fineberg is a college senior:
I think it's sad for a college town not to have a bookstore. I still miss Miranda Books.


Sarah Brown is a college senior:
I think we should have a bookstore in town. But to be honest, I haven't bought books there in two years. I'm all for a Borders or a Barnes & Noble coming in because I think they could move in faster than a small bookstore could and we need books soon.


Karalee Poschman is a college senior:
I miss the Co-op. I miss office supplies. I need office supplies. I'm all for a Barnes & Noble because they have cd's.
