PAGE FOUR Windcrest Co-op Urges Fraternity Participation A program for fraternity participation in food-buying coopera tives was presented to house presidents and representatives of the 47 college fraternities at the IFC meeting Wednesday night by How ard Sparks, a member of the organizing committee of the Wind crest Co-op. Sparks, substituting for All-College Cabinet's Co-op committee chairman Emory Brown of Alpha Zeta, explained that the two main advantages of the co-op system were an initial saving on commodity prices and a fiscal rebate to members on the basis of their total purchases. Lower Prices for Co-ops Pointing out that the main rea son for recent increases in fra ternity house bills can be laid directly to increasing food costs from wholesalers,• Sparks report ed that Alpha Zeta, a member of the State College Consumers Cooperative at 123 W. Beaver street since last June, has real ized a definite drop in food costs since joining the organization. Although Alpha Zeta purchas es were limited mainly to number 10 cans of food, Mr. Hugh M. Mc- Clintic, manager of the local Co op, said that the store's facili ties could easily be expanded to handle meat and fresh vegetable AVC MEMBERS MAKE A DATE TO BRING YOUR GUESTS TO SKYTOP Friday - Saturday Nites Dancing, Refreshments, Dining Join AVC at SU TRY STUDYING WITH OUR SANDWICHES Drop in during your evening's study and pick up a couple of our delicious sandwiches "to go" , --A MOST TASTY PAUSE The NITTANY DELL COLLEGE AVENUE—ACROSS FROM ATH HALL it .4 _S ? triCtly. l i ( r,-; .Vrom 2)ixie 4 AT NEWRY'S PARADISE CAFE 114 S.

The drop in commodity prices through co-op buying as done at the Beaver Street store is real ized by the addition to the cost price on each item of a standard 10 per cent charge which is not subject to a wholesalers handling charge. Sparks illustrated this com modity saving by describing as an example the saving Alpha Zeta made recently on a case of number 10 cans of beans which cost $5.00 from a wholesaler and $3.63 from the Co-op. Yearly Dividend The second financial advant age of the Co-op, said Sparks, is the yearly declaration of a divi dend after operating expenses have been deducted from the total profits. Last year the Beav er street co-op was run efficient ly enough to be able to declare a six per cent rebate to members based on the value of their total purchases. Individual fraternities can join the Beaver Street Co-op by pay ing $l.OO to become a shareholder, Sparks said. Orders may be tele phoned in to Mr. McClintic, and delivery to the house will be made within ten days.

Sound Expert Wanted To Imitate Rifle Fire Is anyone in the audience an expert on machine gun sounds? Yes? Then you're the man that Kelly Yea ton, director of "Sound of Hunting," is looking for.

Albrecht, newly-appointed head of the agronomy department, covers not only the College's agricul tural experiment station but the entire state of Pennsylvania. A stranger to the Keystone state, Dr. Albrecht for the first time in his work must apply his knowleege of soils and crops to diverse farming practices and products within one state—rich farm lands in the Philadelphia-Lancaster area, the fruit belt of Lake Erie, or the mountainous section around Pitts burgh "Since soil coniditions in the State College region do not repre sent the varied factors in this state," said the agronomist, "we will continue to operate our to bacco and oorn station in Lancas ter, pasture experiments in north eastern Pennsylvania, fruit station in Adams county, and innumer able test plots throughout the state." To Expand Research Dr. Albrecht's agronomy de partment will attempt to intensify and expand its research program of soil and crop improvement. Ac cording to the new department head, the latest trend is to empha size good farming practices using improved varieties of all farm crops in well-managed rotations. such as planting small grains with pasturage. "Our program must also keep pace with varied climates and ty pography in the state," remarked Dr. Albrecht, "plus the state's di versified production of potatoes, apples, corn, barley, dairy, chick ens, and what have you. Pennsyl vania is one of the few states with such a wide field of agricultural interests and whims," the agrono mist added. Previous Work In the previous states where Dr. Albrecht has studied and worked, this diversity of crop conditions did not complicate his problems— or help make the state self-suffi cient. At the University of Wisconsin where the agronomist earned three degrees, his research was aimed at boosting the grain yield of his native state. He worked MAGAZINES for yourself or as gifts.
