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
