Savings on Food Seen
For Ohio State Houses
Fraternities at Ohio State University. which purchase all
their food through a joint-buying program, spend substan
tially less per year for meals than do fraternities at the
University.
According to John Valentine. Interfraternity Council
secretary-treasurer, each'of Ohio State's 75 fraternities and
sororities spends approximately
$7500 per year for rood, compared
;with about $lO,OOO per year by
local fraternities.
I. Valentine and IFC executive
secretary Steven Jordan, recently
, visited Columbus to study the
,Ohio State plan, after which the
'Fraternity Marketing Association
is largely planned.
Plan 'Extremely Profitable'
Valentine said the joint buying
program at Ohio State is "ex
,t.remely profitable," despite the
:fact that the university is a
I - streetcar college," with many
students not eating all their meals
at fraternities.
I Ohio State's 75 fraternities and
•sororities made approximately
!$560,000 worth of food purchases
:during the past year, he said.
,Fraternities at the University also
have a yearly potential of more
than half a million dollars, ac
leording to Valentine.

Prof Speaks
On Freedom
Of Thought
Dr. Moses Hadar, professor of
Greek at Columbia University,
believes it is moie difficult to at
tain independence of thought to
day than any other time in his

Dr. Hadas, speaker at the Lib

night, attributed this to the force
of the mass media of communica
tions which enables people to
read, hear, and see the same
things. This tends to unify them
in thought, he said.

Dr. Hadas spoke on "The Rele

Dr. Hadas said that the Greeks
had fresh, mature minds, free

The cooperative organization, known as Co-op, is the only
organization at the University permitting undergraduate

The organization is much like a combined fraternity and
sorority in that both the men and women eat their meals
together. However, the men do not live at the house.
