Student Committee To Bid for
Cooperative Association Stock
Coincident - with the trustees' sale
of the property of the Penn State
Cooperative association,•, a student
committee has' been 'formed which
will attempt to bid in the entire stock
at a nominal price. This bidding
will include not only the 235 books
which were left in the 'store by
students, but also the other property
which was levied upon.
Under the proposed plan of the
committee, the books will be bid in
at an extremely low sum and re
turned to the owners without charge.
The remainder of the defunct store's
stock will be bid in at a nominal
sum by the committee. .
The committee then proposes to sell
this stock and pay the .Cooperative
store's creditors with the proceeds.
Any balance that would be remain
ing after these debts are paid will be
turned over to the Student Loan Fund
by the conimittee. "
The. student committee is basing
this action bn the fact that they be

They, therefore, feel that if the
debts of the store are paid by the
proceeds of their contemplated sales,
the rightful creditors of the store will
be paid. On the other hand, they
maintain that the crediors of a pri
vate individual should not be paid by
this sale, inasmuch as the whole thing
is based upon the fact that the notice
of separation of the two enterprises
was not published in the public press
a sufficient number of times.
In order that the goods may be ob
tained by the committee at as low a
figure as possible, the . committee
plans to solicit the cooperation of
every bookstore in town. - They will
be asked to refrain from bidding the
materials in.
The committee is hoping that this
cooperation will be accorded them.
One member, however, said: If this
cooperation is not given us, there is
bound to be some excitement. I am
sure the College ctudents will' not
want to miss that."
