Copy centers compete for student business
Kinko s suffers from corporate image
By Troy Anderson

Students ntav wonder why
some professors send them to
buy their pai kets <il Kinko's
Htitt K tilth Ave . while others
send them to Campus Copy
Center or The (iop\ Shop
The reasons some professors
choose Kinko's a locally
owned franchise of a nation
wide company instead of
The Copy Shop or Campus
Copy — a non-profit, Universi
ty-run copy store — are varied
"Different professors take
their packets to different places
for different reasons." said
Dave Gibson, the owner of the
two Kinko's stores in Kugene
Some professors who go to
Kinko's said they aren't aware
of what the differences in
prices are, but they use Kinko's
because it is more convenient,
has longer hours and has what
they believe is better customer
service.
*'J was one of the first profes
sore who started using packets
12 years ago." said economics
Professor Robert Smith.
"Kinko’s was with me from the
very beginning and they've
done a very good job."
Smith said he uses packets

"I use kinko's mostly be
cause Ihev’re convenient. I've
worked with them a Ion# time
and they 've been very respon
sive when there were prob
lems." said |err\ Medler pro
fessor of politic al si ient e
However, some professors
said they use Campus Copy
Center, located in the KN1U
basement, because it is < huaper
for students and because the
benefits go to the University.
"I chose Campus Copy be
cause I want to support the
University and I think they do a
reasonable job," said Terrance
Coode. assistant professor of ar
chitecture.
"It's not so much the corpo
rate image, but kinko's is a
company headquartered in San
ta Barbara and even though the
people at kinko's are from the
local community, ultimately
the profits go elsewhere." In
said
However. Cibson said the
majority of kinko's profits stay
in Hugene. as the company
shares 21 percent of its profits
with tin- employees
A smaller group of professors

Kinko's. HtiO E. tilth Ave.. is one of several copy shops in the
area that professors and students patronize.
Iw farther down the street from
campus, they say. hut it costs a

Audre heller, Copy Shop
manager, said her prices for
packets are worth the walk lie
cause she charges only three
cents a page
"I bring her my business he
cause I support small, locally

approbation for providing
cheap copies." said Spanish

my students to spend more
