Co-op Business For Two Days Shows Big Gain Debt of $10,000 Changes To Assets of $60,000 In Seven Years The largest business of any two successive days in its history was reported Monday and Tuesday by Marion F. McClain, manager of the Co-op. The turnover exceeded by $2500 that of the two opening days last fail. A staff of twenty-one students in addition to the regular staff was required to handle the rush. The University ^o-oporativo store, which was founded in 1920 under Mr. McClain, then graduate mana ger of the A. S. IT. has devel oped rapidly. From an institution worth $10,000 less than nothing (it was started on borrowed capital), it has grown to an asset of $00,000. A stock increase of $10,000 over last, year shows the growth of the project. The Co-op is essentially a service unit. It is incorporated under the state laws as a ico-oporative asso ciation. All A. s. U. 6. members belong and are entitled (o vote at the annual election when the Hoard of Directors is chosen. The Board manages the store and directs the policies through a manager. It is made up of five students and two faculty members. The directors for 1927-28 are: Boland Davis, president: Arthur Hamilton, Al Hoyden, Ronald li.ubbs, Tom Stoddard, Dean James II. Gilbert, Dean John F. Bovard. M. F. McClain is manager and Marie G. Hadley, secretary. The store handles text books, note-books, stationery, Oregon jew elry, fountain pens, and other stu dent: supplies. Text: books are handled at publisher’s list price. This enables Oregon students to pur. chase them at the same prices as are paid at the large eastern uni versities.

Statistics show that out of eleven houses which proudly sport mascots, seven are canines of various shades and sizes. Probably destined to be the most famous is Oi'ph, Kappa Delta mas-1 cot, who has already readied the book of campus doings by disappear ing twice in the hist week. He saves wear and tear on their door hell by announcing all visitors as soon as they step up on the porch. Nigger, Sigma Xu good luck bringer, who follows in the footsteps of the long-famous and now de ceased Kef, is another poor dog who is trying hard to get aldng in the world. He is a black, low-slung model with a long wheel base. The police dog family is recog nized at the Theta Chi house in the person of Kimmel, a woman-hater like all the other Theta Cilia, and many families are recognized1; T,u Mike and .Tiggs, Sigma Chi and. Beta mascots respectively. .figgs is a renowned fighter, averaging at least two a day. Noble, famous S. A. K. dog, spent the summer in Burns, but has now returned to the campus. The women’s houses are less well represented than the fraternities, but the Chi Omegas have adopted a pair of gray kittens which answer to the names of Beowulf and Thomas Hardy, the l‘i Phis have Felix adorn ing their domain, and the Tri Belts proudly announce the possession of a bird called Oath, short for Othello. Alpha Delta Pi possesses .Junior, a white poodle. Only the Chi I’si’s and Kappa Sig’g must bo consoled for their j losses. Moses Agamemmnon, the Chi I’si lumb, is missing, and Caesar, Kappa Sigma ancient, met an un timely end .just before school began. United Press (Continued from page one) as to its value, or reader interest, and tl» most important is sent first. “Spot news,” or events which hap pen "right now,” are cared for by a bulletin plan. The word “bulletin” over a story drives other news, for the time being, 'off the wire, and thus the arranged .report does not hold up matter which news' men classify as “hot.” Throughout the day, or night, as the case may be, this flow or ex change of news from one section of the country to the other progresses. The University of Oregon, for ex ample, saw fit to select a Wisconsin man as president. That story was good reading matter to middle west ern and eastern friends’ of Dr. Ar nold Bennett Hall, as well as being of great interest in Oregon. The story was copied by Oregon papers as it hurried over wires to the east, and within a- few minutes the in formation was known in the more than 1000 United Press newspaper offices in the United States. And so it goes. Use Telephones The system is flexible, of course. In the ease of the Emerald, a con nection with the leased wires is formed by special telephone equip ment from the Portland bureau to the Emerald office. A United Press staff correspondent, Carle H. Ben nett, in charge of the northwest night service, will select the “meat” of the report and read it to Emerald staff men. In turn the staff men will read University of Oregon news back to Mr. Bennett. This two-way system is of par ticular interest. Not only will the Emerald receive a detailed news history of the* world for the pro ceeding 24 hours, but it will have an avenue for delivering news of its Let Newt Do Your Laundry “ATTA BOY” 0 Domestic Laundry R ■ §j Phone 252; 253 1 143 W. 7th Ave. | m Eugene, Oregon Oregana Confectionery MEALS HOME MADE CANDIES LUNCHES * " We Are Specializing in a Large Variety ; ■ or “t'AKMALH OK QUALITY’* 51 f EUGENE Acclains IT!
