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. THE - WORM TURNS REDUCTIONS' ON ALL' 6LI' I 30OKS - GRAE T " SAM'S Both Stores Leo Hershdorfer i. R.

Betron " 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. he Telescope You've Seen Him , .(With apologies to "Rube") Julius -Caesar Octavius Sapp Wasrn drnery, tow-headed cuss when a chap.

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. Good typewriters-$25.OQ and up. S.
