Want a Pantry Shelf to Paid?
Try Living at the Co-operative
By BETTIE LOUX
Feel a little homesick in a mod
ern, streamlined dorm? Maybe
you’d like 244 E. Nittany Ave.—
a three story, red brick building,
complete with piano, fireplace,
and pantry shelf to raid.
That’s where the 60 members
of the College Co-operative So
ciety Inc. eat, sleep, study, work
and seem to have a wonderful
l .ime in general.
,The spirit of the organization
is aptly expressed in their motto
—“Co-operation Gets Things
Done.” As anyone knows, manag
ing a house entails a lot of work.
There are meals to be prepared,
dishes to be washed, cleaning,
washing and ironing, and odd
jobs to take care of around the
house and yard.
Housework Divided
Duties at the Nittany Co-op are
divided up, however, so that no
one has more than four or five
hours of housework,a week. The
men, who rent rooms in private
homes, eat their meals at the
Co-op and therefore manage to
get in on the dish-washing.' They
also wait on tables and do the
heavier chores around the house.
The women clean their own
rooms, take care of the weekly
wash, and assist the full-time
cook.
Because of the efficient organ
ization, Co-op members have time
for many recreational activities.
An active social committee plans
get-acquainted parties, formal
Christmas and senior graduation
dinners, and the biggest fling of
all—a nightclub party, complete
with floorshow and sweet music.
Participate In WRA
Every evening before and after
dinner, groups of co-opers may be
seen lounging .in the comfortable
leather chairs . . . playing ping
pong, cards, checkers, listening to
records or pounding out the latest
songs on the piano.
The women regularly partici
pate in WRA sports. Last year
they put a feather in their caps
by copping the Intramural Par
ticipation Cup.
To a dorm resident, one of the
finest attributes of the Nittany
Co-op house is the homelike at
mosphere that prevails. The girls,

Loyalty Oath Article
A history of Pennsylvania’s proposed loyalty oath, by Dr. Scott
Keyes, assistant professor of economics at the College, appears in
this week’s issue of The Nation.
The Nation is a national weekly news magazine.
Dr. Keyes traces the measure from'its introduction by Sen. Al
bert R. Pechan last January and its rapid passage by the state Senate
•through the wave of opposition
which sprang up throughout the
state. The article was written be
fore the measure was reported
out of committee on to the floor
of the House this week.
Although the article pre-dates
this development, Dr. Keyes
finds the key to it in Gov. John
S, Pine’s sudden announcement
of his support for the measure
last summer. Before this move,
opposition from teachers’ groups,
students, newspapers, civic, labor,
and religious groups had snow
balled to stall the measure in
House committee.,
Fine Pushed Hearings
Pine’s pressure, the • article
says, brought about the public
hearings last August. These hear
ings found opponents of the mea
sure in overwhelming majority.
The article contrasts the nature
of the opposition with Pechan’s
original charge that “Commun
ists,” pinks, and fellow travelers”
were the only ones fighting his
bill.
Dr. Keyes finds this opposition
the cause of Pechan’s. earlier
agreement that a closed hear
ing be held. At this April hear
ing, veterans’ group' leaders,
heads of the state’s four largest
colleges, and a representative of
the American Friends Service
committee spoke on the Pechan
bill.
It was two weeks after these

Good Meals
The members seem to feel that
their meals are better than those
served in the dormitories, mainly
because the food is 'prepared in
smaller quantities. 1 Dorothy
White, vice-president of the
house, arid a Home Economics
major, plans the menus. Edward
Richards, house manager, orders
the supplies, mainly through the
Eastern Co-operative Wholesale,
with which the society is affili
ated. Milk is served three times
a day.
Membership in the Co-op is
open to any person associated
with the College, who under
stands the aims and purposes of
the organization. There is no dis
crimination by race or religion.
To become a member, an ap
plicant serves a trial period of
two weeks. He then becomes an
active member on approval by at
least 85 percent of the group. At
Klisanin Urges
Oath Action
William Klisanin, president of
the Pennsylvania region of NSA,
has sent letters to other Penn
sylvania colleges requesting that
they take action similar to the
College’s on the pechan bill.
Klisanin pointed out in the
letters that “ever since the loy
alty oath bills of the nature of
the Pechan bill, NSA has stood
against such legislation.”
Enclosed in each letter were
two copies of the . Daily Collegian
in which this piece of legislation
was attacked. Klisanin placed
special emphasis mn the action
taken by All-College Cabinet. He
said, “It- is time for all us stu
dents to do our part to grind the
gears of this legislative steam
roller to a Halt!”
Klisanin urged all groups to
let their representatives- in Har
risburg know the stand of NSA
chapters throughout the state.
Klisanin ended saying, “Now is
the time, to act for the time is
growing short.”

Co-op Officers
Control of the Co-op rests with
the members, who elect a cabinet
to direct the management of the
house.
Present officers are Kenneth
Skinnet, president; Eugene
Rhodes, vice president; Berna
dette McCahill, secretary; James
Trolier, treasurer; and Harry
Schiemer, bursar. Jane Nagrini
is house president. Marian Fister,
chaperon, sees that WSGA hours
are strictly adhered to.
Alumni keep in contact' with
the new co-opers through the
“SCO-OP”, and alum newspaper

terest is so great that a buffet
dinner alumni meeting brings
members from 12 years back.
Plans for the future include the
addition of more houses to the
co-op plan, or perhaps the build

Called Bigotry 1
DETROIT, Sept 21—OP)—The
CIO United Auto Workers asked
the Blatz Brewery Co.,' today to
stop sponsoring the Amos ’n’ Andy
television show.
William H. Oliver, co-director
of the UAW’s Fair Practices and
Anti-Discrimination department,
wrote Blatz President Frank C.
Verßest;
“We are deeply disturbed, not
only about your' program, but
one or two others in which Ne
groes and cither minority groups
are portrayed as-lazy, shiftless,
irresponsible characters.”
Oliver said such a program
“more deeply imbibes stereotyp e
prejudices in the minds of many
people”' and “provides fodder for
