House Managers Consider Co-operative Buying Scheme Big Business Methods May Be Used Here Thousands of Dollars Savings Wotilcl Result Says Calvin Bryan in Co-op To Buy All Articles Needed by Houses, Plan Co-operative buying—the secret of “big business”—is being stud ied by the house managers’ as sociation on the Oregon campus, and plans launched for the forma tion of a managers’ co-operative store which would result in the saving to the houses of thousands of dollars yearly. It would be patterned after a similar organization at Oregon State college which has been op erating for five years and has reduced buying overhead expenses from 20 to 8 per cent, according to Calvin Bryan, member of the Oregon managers’ group, who is a member of the committee, to investigate a similar organization here. Possibilities were voiced by Bryan of an intercollegiate man agers’ co-operative, involving Ore gon, Oregon State, Washington, and Washington State college. A ceritral headquarters would be established in a northern city, probably Portland, and buying handled on ,a large scale. Talked Fall Term Operation c* a campus organi zation was discussed fall term by the house managers' association and Ted Hewitt named to head a committee' composed of Bryan and Frieda Pahl to investigate the sit uation. Lloyd Sherrill is presi dent of the association. Plans for the organization, as outlined to the Emerald yesterday by Bryan, included the following salient points: J Capitalization for approxi mately $20,000. Each frater nity and sorority to enter would pay its share. 2 Erection of a co-operative store on the campus. g Buying would include all things needed by living organizations including meats, wood, groceries furniture and other house supplies, ^ Appointment of a professional full-time manager who would handle all buying. Employment of part-time student help. When the business reached fi nancial stability, it would de clare dividends and divide all sav ings pro rata to member houses. Independents Held Best “Organizations of this nature which associated with the univer sities or colleges were not suc cessful,” Bryan said yesterday, “They must be independent. The most profitable system is that which includes all departments of buying and not just meat or wood, qs we have here at Oregon now. “Merchants make about a 20 per cent profit. The first year the co-operative functioned at Oregon State their overhead was 16 per cent. It is down to 8 per cent now. “Just in buying wood alone I estimated that each house this year can save $150. You can see what a saving can be effected if all houses co-operate and estab 1 i s li a fraternity co-operative store. Would Save Money “The committee estimates that $12,000 a year can be saved for living groups if they form a co operative buying association in all lines. Everything possible would be purchased in town and the lo cal merchants would not have rea son for .complaint.” Financial conditions among fra ternities and sororities on the campus at present are such that intensive consideration of the sys tem outlined to the Emerald by Bryan is not possible. However renewed vigor in promoting suet an enterprise will be put in next fall, he said.
