PAGE TWO With the Editor Today at noon, the student body will be asked several important questions on the issue of a campus cooperative store. By means of a questionnaire, students will in dicate their desire of establishing a co-op. The results of this questionnaire will determine All- College Cabinet's action on the appropriation of funds to give a campus co-op enough impetus to get started.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Some of the more ardent co-op advocates have wondered why Cabinet doesn't just go ahead and appropriate the necessary funds on the assump tion that the store, once it is started, will be used by the great majority of the students. To those who are more cautious in business mat ters, this plan seemed to be a poor financial risk, especially when class dues collected from the stu dents are involved. They wanted to be sure that enough purchasers will avail themselves of the savings which can be gained from a successful co-op store. Even a survey of over 200 colleges and universi ties such as Cornell and Wisconsin where co-bps are outstanding in their success was not enough inducement for Cabinet to go ahead and devote student money for such a project. Cabinet wants to be sure that students at Penn State are enthusiastically behind the idea of a co-op before it can appropriate enough funds to cover any losses in case such backing is needed. It is up to the students. If Cabinet decides that a co-op store will be patronized sufficiently, however, the battle isn't over. The question then goes to the Board of Trus tees for approval, and this group will constitute a tough hurdle to overcome. The trustees are essentially businessmen who are entrusted with the operation of the College. They must be convinced that the students are in need of a co-op, especially now in an era of high prices. When the residents of Windcrest petitioned the trustees for a co-op mainly for the sale of food and other necessities of operating a trailer within the meagre G.I. allowance for married veterans of $9O a month, they got their store. This store, for example, can sell such corn. modifies as ice cream at 18c a pint, while the prevailing retail price is 26c a pint. This applies to candy and other foodstuffs. Now that the married veterans' budgets are being aided, it is time to help all the other students in the purchase of school supplies, toilet articles, and other items. Soph Elections It was not our intention to let the coming Sopho more elections pass unnoticed despite the fact that the outcome directly concerns only a portion of the student body. More recently, the calibre of campus politicians has been improving. There is no reason to call a halt to the progress now. The election of .com potent officers will facilitate a smooth transition on the part of the sophomore class into a full participation in campus affairs. This election is uniaue in that all the voters have not had the opportunity to see the nominees in ac tion. Some of the candidates have made their mark in leadership at the schools they attended, but none of them have had a chance to display their talents on this campus. Both parties have been working hard for this one, but the campaigning politicians have come mainly from the ranks of the sophomore class. The fact that a great many of the sophs are interested in student government is a healthy sign. It is more difficult to fool a large number of potential voters. The best advice which can be given the voters regarding this election is for them to consult stu dents from the same schools where the candidates spent their freshman year. Learn what activities the aspiring student leaders participated in and how well they fared. That is about all that can be done unless you happen to know them personally and can furnish your own opinions. It won't be long after the election is over be fore All-College Cabinet will put the new of ficers to a test. If they produce, Penn State as well as the sophomore class will benefit. If they don't you'll hear about it.—LGF. (II Co-op Poll- (Continued from page one) Used books, paper, pencils, note books, other incidental book sup plies, and miscellaneous toilet ar ticles will be handled by the store. Temporary Union Building is the inftended location. Brown revealed the following comparisons between proposed co-op prices and average local re tail prices: Item Coop Retail Shampoo .35 .49 Shaving Cream .27 .43 Tooth Brush .23 .30 Soap .09 .13 Retail mark-up on toiletries averages 35 per cent; on book supplies, 50 per cent, Brown con tinued. At the co-op, the mark-up would not exceed 5 per cent on either. Any profits over cost of operation will be returned to stu dents in the form of lower prices on future gales. All, students will be automatic members of the cooperative. At the helm would be a student elected board of directors 'Beat Pitt' Tags "Beat Pitt" lags are available at the Athletic Store.
