PA R TICIPANTS DISCUSS COMMITMENT, ED UCA TION
Co-op members
convene in A2
Volunteer commitment and.
cooperative education are among the
issues under discussion this weekend as
co-op members from all over the United
States and Canada gather for the an-
nual cooperative institute being held in
the Union.
North American Students of
Cooperation, a non-profit organization
based in Ann Arbor, is sponsoring the
event. NASCO acts as a resource for co-
ops all over North America, according
to coordinator Tom Laichas.
This weekend, NASCO is host to more
than 400 members of food, housing, and
energy co-ops and others interested in
working and living together to achieve
mutual social and economic goals.
This story was written by Daily
reporters Greg Davis, Joyce Friedeti,
and Pam Kramer.
Workshops began on Friday and will
continue throughout the weekend.
Twenty-eight workshops were held
Saturday, including:
HISTORY OF STUDENT
HOUSING CO-OPS
Luther Buchele of Ann Arbor's Inter-
Cooperative Council and Jim Jones
from College House Cooperatives in
Austin, Texas gave an overview of the
history of co-operative housing in the
United States.
Buchele began by describing the
"Golden Age of Co-ops," which he said
occurred around 1880-1890. It was then,
Buchele explained, that book co-ops
began springing up at universities like
Harvard and Yale that enabled studen-
ts to buy textbooks cheaply.
Jones covered co-op development
durinj the 1960s and '70s. "Most of the
development during this period oc-
curred in places where the idea of a co-
op was already in place; existing co-ops
were just further developed," he ex-
plained.
WORK SYSTEMS
NASCO membership chairperson
Francie Ferguson led this workshop,
which explored various methods of
assigning work responsibilities to food
and housing co-op members.
Ferguson said work systems should
be looked at with three goals in mind:
" A management system for getting
tasks accomplished;
" A mechanism for getting members
to know each other; and,
* A mechanism for education of
members in various skills.
"The skills you learn are very impor-
tant. I know people who have gotten
jobs as cooks because they learned to
cook in the co-op," Ferguson said.
Participants discussed ways in which
their co-ops assigned jobs. One
Michigan State University co-op mem-
ber said his group put up a list of
cooking and cleaning jobs each week,
for which people volunteered.
Still another co-op member talked
about Neill-Wycik Co-op in Toronto,
Canada. Neill-Wycik is a 22-story high-
rise co-op of 650 residents. "We don't
really have a work system, since
everyone has his own apartment," he
explained.
CO-OP EDUCATION IN
AMERICAN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
Skip Kutz from the Cooperative
College of Canada led a workshop on
cooperative education in American
public schools, arguing that the
philosophy of standard schools is
detrimental to the people's well-being.
The cooperative curriculum places
more emphasis on practical topics and
experiential learning, such as how to
use credit cards, in addition to reading
textbooks Kutz said.
FOOD CO-OPS
Lynn MacDonald, general manager
of the Arcata Cooperative of northern
California, described the fundamental
differences between the co-op grocery
store and the traditional grocery store.
"We buy (wholesale) for the con-
sumer, not for profit," MacDonald said.
She said that product mark-up is 25
percent on the average, with very com-
petitive markups on such items as cof-
fee, milk, and eggs.

MADISON, W.Va.-A rescue team
yesterday found the bodies of five
miners killed in a methane gas ex-
plosion nearly two miles inside a
southern West Virginia coal mine.
Strong fumes forced the searchers to
abandon an earlier effort to bring the
bodies out of Westmoreland Coal Co.'s
Ferrell No. 17 mine. .
"IT LOOKS LIKE they were all pret-

international safety director of the

DIXON, Ill. (AP)-Plans already
are underway in Ronald Reagan's
boyhood home to capitalize on a
smashing election victory that locals
say makes their town "the new Plains
on the plains."
"Four more years!" said an ebullient
Ted Trulock, a 21-year-old college
student who owns the only Reagan
storefront souvenir §hop in the town of
18,000.-
A local civic group is preparing to
restore the Reagan family house
Hennepin Avenue "down to the 1920s
period wallpaper," says Darwin Burke,
manager of the Chamber of Commerce.
And Walter Knack intends to build a
100-room motel in the White House
motif to handle an expected influx of
tourists.
THE MORNING AFTER Reagan's
landslide victory over the incumbent
from Plains, Ga., the mood in the cen-
tral Illinois town were folks still know
Reagan as "Dutch" remained a heavy
mix of exhaustion and euphoria.
"I'm excited and I'm tired," said
Mary Barnhart of Jim's Place, who was
fryng eggs, and hash browns shortly
after dawn.
That night, city officials blocked off
streets and erected a platform at the in-
tersection of First Street and Hennepin
Avenue, where vote tallies were an-
nounced to an exuberant crowd of more
than 3,000.
THE DIXON HIGH School Band
began the party with a torchlight
parade across the newly named Ronald
Reagan Bridge. Bands played, people
danced and free beer flowed at both
GOP and Democratic headquarters.
After Carter conceded, people lined
the banks of the Rock River for a
fireworks display near the beach where
Reagan once worked seven summers as
a lifeguard.
Reagan easily topped Carter in each
of Dixon's 20 precincts, 5,755 to 1,445.
THE MOOD WAS much the same 26
miles away at Tampico, where Reagan
was born in an apartment over the red-
brick old First National Bank building
on Main Street.
