WSEzz Wtyt ia% @ dtfllftjttttt VOL. 37—No. 109 Fraternity Co-op Necessary Here, Wagner Believes “Pooling purchasing power by the establishment of a food co operative might prove to be the only future salvation of fraterni ties at Penn State,” H. Edward Wagner, IFC president, stated yesterday. Wagner agrees with Collegian and fraternity leaders in believ ing that the decline in the num ber of fraternities and fraternity members can be traced to the lower cost of living in dormi tories or rooming houses. Substantiating Wagner’s claim, surveys have shown that the non-fraternity man can live on $4O a month, but that the aver age fraternity housebill is $5 to $25 higher. “That cooperatives will wofk has been proved by their success at other colleges,” Wagner said. The management plan at Oregon State has registered savings as high as $20,000 a year, an aver age saving of $5OO for each of the 41 fraternities, he pointed out.- He added that even greater savings have been reported by fraternity cooperatives at Cor nell, Ohio State, and the Univer sity of Idaho. Because most of the coopera tives on other campuses owe their inception to an alert cat erers association, Wagner has proposed that such an organiza tion be set up here when the new IFC officers are elected-in May.- ‘Wagner added that the success of "a caterers association would depend on the “caliber of the. man selected to head it and the cooperation he receives.

JACKIE REESE '43 WEATHER— Continued PRICE THREE CENTS Noted Sculptor Approves Site 0t lion Shrine The proposed Lion Shrine site in front of the Water Tower was approved by Heinz Warneke, noted animal sculptor, after a hurried trip here yesterday to learn details of the project, a gift of the class of-1940. Although definite choice of a sculptor has not been made by the Shrine committee, Warneke said he would be interested in doing the work. David E. Pergrin, 1940 class president, also favored the Water Tower site at a special commit tee meeting yesterday. However, George W. Ebert, superintendent of grounds and buildings, stated that future plans for the addition of wings to Rec Hall and the pos sible widening of Beaver Field’s main gate must be considered before a location can be chosen. Warneke revealed that he was not certain of the size and kind of figure the $5,340 would pur chase. The sculptor said he would draw up sketches of figures in limestone or bronze. The sculptor indicated a desire to do most of his work on the campus, but warned the commit tee that the primary cutting and roughing of stone or bronze and transportation here would be costly. Before the shrine can be start ed, approval of the College archi tectural committee, consulting architects Thomas W. Sears and Paul Cret, and the Board of Trustees must be obtained.
