2 Bucks for 2 Bits
Offered by UO Co-op
by Rodney Morrison
Emerald Reporter
Two bits by this Saturday can
get you two bucks (or more) at
the end of the term.
The quarter goes for a member
ship in the University Co-op. and
the dollars can come back at the
end of the year in the annual re
fund to Co-op members.
A record high number of stu
dents—about 65 per cent—already
are Co-op members this Vear. G.
L. Henson, store manager, said to
day. but there are still more than
1.000 who could join by the Sat
urday deadline.
This year's exact refund rate, to
be determined by the store's stu
dent-faculty board of directors,
will be announced the first week
in June. Henson reported. The
board will try to maintain the 10
per cent rate that’s been in effect
since 1948, he predicted, even
though it's "getting harder and
harder” to maintain that much
margin between income and ex
penses.
'While no one in the Co-op or
ganization is yet positive about
this years refund, just about
everyone is sure it can't be any
thing like the famous 1947 experi
ence — when the rate was 30 per
cent, and on top of that, word of
it leaked out a week before cash
register slips had to be turned in.
"We had a flood of students join
ing. then buying everything ex
pensive in sight.” Henson remem
bered. “They cleaned us out of,
typewriters and every other high
cost item we had. The refund took
so much money we had to borrow
540.000 for operating capital, and

year and a half.”
The Co-op, a member of Western
Bookstore Association and the Na
tional Association of College
Stores, did $370,000 worth of busi
ness last year, just slightly more
than half of that in textbooks.
The Oregon store pays a higher
refund rate than any of the other
three west coast college coopera
tives, Henson reported. It's now 34
years old, and is one of the very
small group of bookstores in the
country (only 3 per cent of all
campus bookstores that are coop
eratives). It missed paying a re
fund during the depression years,
but has ranged from 5 to the 30
per cent since World War II.
