Students Write
For Hopwood
Wide Interest Stimulated
By Generous Awards
(Continued from Page 1)
novels demonstrate well the notice
that the contests have received in
the literary world.
The judges for the contest are al-
most invariably widely known and
respected literary figures. In years
past they have included such littera-
teurs as Sinclair Lewis, Dorothy Park-
er, H. L. Mencken, Van Wyck Brooks,
Franklin Pierce Adams, Thornton
Wilder and numerous others.
The headquarters of the contest is
the Hopwood Room on the fourth
floor of Angell Hall, which in addi-
tion to its function of receiving en-
tries and providing information for
the contests, has been a9cquiring a
respectable library of modern books
and periodicals.
Congresso-op
Cleans House,
begins Serving
After a week o intensive ,cleaning,
wallpapering, furniture moving afid
more cleaning on the part of the 19
members of the new Congress Co-
operative, the house is officially op-
ened and began serving meals this
week.
Organized by a committee of Men's
Congress under the chairmanship of
Douglas Tracy, '40E, the house is
organized along the Rochdale prin-
ciples followed by the Robert Owen
and Rochdale houses here. All the
work including cooking, dishwashing,
purchasing and accounting is done by
the members.
The three houses are working to-
gether as much as possible to avoid
duplication of effort and to achieve
maximum efficiency. The stewards
plan meals together and are doing
research on foods. Purchasing is al-
so centralized.
The house plans to have eight
boarders, in addition to the regular
membership, as part of an education
program for those interested in liv-
ing in the house in the future. All
those interested in applying as board-
ers are urged to communicate with
members of the cooperative.
Officers of the house include Doug-
las Tracy, '40E, president; Jay Rock-
well, '40, treasurer; Arnold Kleiman,
'40BAd., accountant; Lawrence Gluck,
'42, steward and William Rockwell,
'41, housemanager
The popular impression of a co-
operative as a cheap place to eat and
sleep is an erroneous one, accord-
ing to one member of the house. The
-main advantages in cooperative living
are to be found in the elimination of
social and racial prejudice, in the
development of true democracy with-
in the group and the furthering of
initiative in solving common prob-
lems.

asked his opinions of Swing, he re-

however that while young people liked
