Picture[edit]

The current picture is outdated. The exterior of the Duck Store looks very different today and the streets around it have been repaved. Okeekobee (talk) 04:10, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion?[edit]

This page ought to be deleted. It offers no encyclopedic content that is not available elsewhere. I have edited quite a lot of what was quite clearly a blatant attempt at advertisement out of the article, but beyond a few lines that exist in the introductory paragraph, this article is useless.

Not completely useless, I don't think. As part of the history of the University of Oregon, the co-op aspect of the bookstore is interesting. You are completely correct that this article is a mess. I don't think it was a "blatant attempt" at advertising, but rather a misguided, good faith effort based on a copy-and-paste of the bookstore's website. I've had this on my watchlist for a while, hoping someone else besides me would come along and clean it up. *sigh* I'll see what I can do... Katr67 22:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All better now. Katr67 02:02, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
