Several students are credited with coming up with the idea of a house - a co-operative - run by its residents with the intention of pro- viding an affordable place to live for students. The concept was later introduced at colleges around the country and grew into the co-opera- tive movement. The club rented a house on East Ann Street and opened The Michi- gan Socialist House, the firststudent- housing co-operative in the nation, on Aug. 20, 1932. Its first 18 members were all male graduate students who probably would not have been able to return to the University without the co-op. The co-op was dubbed "The Two- Dollar House" for its weekly charge, which along with four to five hours of housework, entitled residents to room and board. The co-op also offered a barber, canning and laun- dry services. The house was managed through a series of meetings in which each member had equal vote. Soon after the Michigan Socialist House opened, the first women's co- op was opened inthe fallof1937down the block from the men's house. The University regulates co-ops. Initially, University involvement was restricted because of qualms over alcohol and various incidents with social conduct. One of the earlier clashes between co-op and administration was over the University rule that unmarried men live in houses under housemoth- ers, older women who helped with domestic chores andsupervised their behavior. The Socialist Club avoided house- John Copley, a scenic artist, poaints the windowt ofD Vinci's salon on Main Street with a holiday greeting yes- terday afternoon.

As the co-op movement expand- d, the University gradually passed sore requirements for co-ops that ncluded closing hours for women's ouses and an advisory board to ielp regulate operations. Students, iowever, insisted on keeping con- rol over member selection and finances. In 1947 the house on East Ann treet was sold, so the recently enamed Michigan Cooperative louse relocated to the current ouse on North State Street. Today the Inter-cooperative -ouncil consists of 18 group houses nd one apartment house. At capac- ty, about 580 University students :all the co-ops home.
