PAGE TWO Co-ops Hit Five-Year Mark As Campus Society Under the sign of the double pine trees that mark the cooper ative movement in this country, Penn State's member houses have been doing business for five years. Founded in 1938. the Nit tany Avenue Co-op and the Al )en Street Co-op have earned for themselves a definite position on the campus among the College or ganizations. The germ of the co-op idea was sown in the minds of several students who went to New York on a social inquiry trip conduct ed by the Christian Association. With some . encouragement from faculty members, Henry Borow, Edith Johnson, and Ruth Mabee established the first unit at Penn State. Down at the Co-op they still talk of those days when Borow borrowed tools from Pro lessor Dennis to make benches and tables, and of the first meal in the house which had to be eat en off the mantle because the paint on the benches wasn't dry. As first set up, the Co-ops had two houses, one for men and one for women. In the interim, both }louses have been taken over for women's living units, while the men . live out and come in for meals. Each member of the Co op does four or five hours of work around the house each week. 'His duties are scheduled for him by the officer in charge who fits them into his class schedule where it is, most con venient. The Co-ops were founded on the Rochedeal principles, which are the hearts and soul of the whole cooperative movement. They are simply stated thus in the society's literature: 1) Mem bership shall be open to all, re gardless of race, religion, or pol itics. 2) Control will rest with the people. There will be only one vote per person, and no proxy voting. 3) Refunds will be PHA Plans Cabin Party, Picnic For Weekend; Coeds Act As Hostesses Foremost among PSCA. attrac tions-of-the-week is a cabin party starting from the rear of Old Main at 2:15 tomorrow afternoon and breaki?ig up Sunday morning, when the group returns from the PSCA cabin.

If he is accepted, he buys two five dollar shares, which are repurchased from him by the society when he leaves the group. As stated in the Rochedale principles, refunds are made on the basis of patronage. With accommodations for 104 members, the Co-ops this semes ter are within a dozen members of capacity.

The Italians were friendly and much interested in the con versation and games' aboard ship, but the German "sat in a corner and sulked," the lieutenant said.
