1947, rejected the request of the
All-College Cabinet for permis
sion to establish a co-operative

jused books, school supplies and
toilet articles; and
"Whereas: The Pennsylvania
State College, as a land grant
college, plays a vital role in pro
viding low-cost college education
to the residents oi the state; and
‘‘Whereas: the cost of many inci-|
dental items have increased so
greatly in the past few months as
to make their purchase an addi
tional burden to many students,
especially veterans who incomes
are barelv sufficient to meet the
cost of food and housing; and
“Whereas: Co-operative stores
cstablised at other schools have
succeeded in materially reducing
these expenses: and
“Whereas: A recent poll taken
at the College showed that the
above mentioned proposal had
the support of over 93 S' of the
undergraduate students;
"Therefore: We. the undersign
ed students at the Pennsylvania
c tato College, do petition the
Board of Trustees of this College
‘n reconsider at their next meet
ing. the decision of their Execu
tive Committee with regard to
the establishment of a co-opera
