and unacquainted with its real value, the final rc-
sult being that his care free attitude may be taken
zvarige of. by the--merchants, and he pays the
highest- of- prices without question. Though this
works little hardships on the well-to-do, it is the
less fortunate man or woman, who is working his
or her way through the university or who must
scrimp along on a meager allowance, on whom the
real and final burden falls with greatest force.
Certainly State street rates on books, supplies
and the like are as high as they have any reason to
be, and in many cases top the rightful limit. We, as
students who are forced to pay what is asked of us
without a murmur, however, see great possibilities
in the plan for a co-op at Michigan. May the action
of the Forum bring about definite results.

A CO-OP AT MICHIGAN
For a long time, the co-operative store scheme has
been discussed at Michigan, but comparatively little
action has ever been taken toward a final develop-
ment of the proposal. "Co-ops" have been estab-
lished in a great many other college and university
towns, but Michigan so far has not materially ad-
vanced the plan. It has remained for the Univer-.
sity Forum to take 'up and consider the matter seri-
ously, and it is with distinct interest and hope that
we note the action taken by that body Friday night,-
in approving the scheme for local use and in ap-
pointing a committee to continue investigations of
the co-operative store plan.
In the organization of co-ops at other institutions,
several methods seem to have been used. One plan
provides membership, at a nominal rate, whereby
students "may gain a monetary interest in the insti-
tution and reap their returns in rebates at the end
of each year. The original financing in such cases
is accomplished through the agency of personal
loans. Another arrangement, which has been'tried
out from time to time, brings the organization of
the co-op directly under the university or college'
near which it is located. Such a store is financed di-
rectly by the educational institution itself, and re-
turns .all profits to the school's coffers, for the fi-
nancing of various projects. Still a third arrange-
ment provides membership in the organization,'with
returns made to the stockholders through dividends
or rebates or both. And so on.
But, no matter which plan is followed out the
fact remaips, under practically any system, that the
scheme makes for ultimate benefit to the' student'
and faculty patrons. The co-op is able 'many times
to give reductions in rates, especially when it is
possible to buy in large quantities with the under-
standing that all books or other goods not sold may,
be returned to the wholesaler."
Frequently, in fact, it has been found that a co-
operative store, operating in competition with local
merchants, has been able to undersell the rest,- and
sometimes, though not always, this has had a de-
cided effect in reducing the general trend of prices
in the locality.
Of course, reductions are not always realized on
all goods by co-op patrons. The co-op store deals
primarily, in most cases, with text books and other
student supplies, and occasionally finds it impossible
to sell at any less than the average rates charged by
others in its vicinity. In such instances, the ulti-
mate benefit: accrues either from rebates to mem-
bers or stockholders in the organization, or tlrough
financial aid given to the university or college hav-
ing an interest in the store.
Undoubtedly, the first arrangement is the one
which is of greatest personal benefit to the stu-
dent, and certainly the average undergraduate is
deserving of some release from the present college-
town price level. He very frequently is a rather
irresponsible youngster, unused to handling money,
- Lest any-should think us harsh in administering
an" editorial spatking to a member of our own jour-
nalisic family, we wish to preface what is to follow
with the -assurance that it hurts us more than it
probably will hurt him. In any event, the "average
American student", alluded to by "G. D. E.' 'in our
last Sunday Magazine, has a right to expect that we
shall take notice of the unjust detraction from his
character, therein printed by our book reviewer.
We- submit that "the grubby complacency of the
'average American student, his lofty contempt for
thingtaitistic, his magnitude of mind that prefers
the retailing of srmutty jokes and the reading of the
sporttig'page to the reading and talking of art, sci-
'enoe, and philosophy," hardly does justice to our
friend the average American student; though it re-
flects admirably the modesty and good taste of the
"exceptional student who conceived it. The Oxford
University article which follows, blushing self-con-
sciously after so entertaining an introduction, pro-
eeis to oit any comparisons which can be re-
" g" ded,"'teen incidentally, ,as exposing the afore-
mneritioned 'average -American 'student to discredit
or disgrace. F Therefore we insist that, believing
himselfeasily the equal of any six Englishmen in
all' rspeets, the conceited-a.A.s. is justly aggrieved.
rated ' that the' 'characterization quoted may
pssess truth' with respect to the cruder more im-
moral element in American colleges, it is assuredly
wide of-the mark when applied to the average. The
typical American student, while jocular and self-
confident, is not complacent. On the contrary, he is,
exceedigly adtive in his' efforts to improve himself -
"'and his 'surroundings. Moreover, while making no
i'etensions to impeccability, neither ia he de-
Laved. A glance at- the great body of college
alumni and alumnae, --- -former average students,-
Fthe part. they are'now taking in the nation's progres-
sive life, and the 'respect in wh ch they are held
everyhere, is sufficient to show that the aspersions
quoted are - well, not to be taken seriously.

The Daily comments- editorially, in a
box on the front page, upon the small
number of men, fewer than ninety,
now training for track work. The writ-
er points out that trackmeets are
frequently won,. not. by winners, but
by men who come in from second to
fifth. The school that, puts a .great
many men in the field may win mere-
ly through -numbers. The. Daily is
surely right in saying that we should
have more try-outs for track. It
would be right in saying the same thing
of other athletic sports. But- what we
should like to see answered Is the
question, Why do so few students try
out for football, track, and other
sports? Why can't Michigan get out
as many men as Illinois for track,
and put upon the football field at least
two first-class elevens? It's the why
that interests us.
