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.
The text book problem at Oregon
is perhaps the worst in the United
States because of the geographiiea.1
location. A large percentage of the

Seven Campus Mascots Lead Dog’s
Life; Result of Canine Genealogy
Orph, Kappa Delia Multi-Pedigreed Po'oeh, Fated to
Take Eef’s Place in Limelight
The campus is .going to the dogs.
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

Good Publicity
That this news of the Tlmversity
will be of the constructive type is
evidenced by the fact that the Km
erald staff and school of journalism
must prepare it. Thus, University
of Oregon news will pour over the
state and nation in a freer and fuller
manner than ever before.
It will be seen that this exchange
of news is a vital factor in press
association work. Co-opcratiou of
numerous points, and hundreds of
men, is what it takes to build a
news report. For that matter, co
operation seems to accomplish won

ticed.
