Tenth Year For Co-ops
Five cooperative houses at the University are preparing to celebrate the 10th anniversary of co-ops at K.U. and also National Co-op week, Elmer R. Rusco, co-op interhousing coordinator, said today.
The Jayhawk co-op was started in September of 1939 with 20 members. The men took over the house at 1614 Kentucky street and set up cooperative living much as it is done there today. However, a student then had to pay only $17 a month for room and board. Today the cost has increased to $25.
The past year has been a successful one," Rusco said. "Don Henry house opened in the fall, and another house has been purchased for the Rock Chalk group. This house will be opened next fall.
"The Co-op council has been re-established after a wartime hike and a central purchasing plan initiated. We feel that the celebration of Co-operation is one more step forward in a rapidly expanding movement." he added.
The celebration will begin with Don Henry, Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, and Harmon co-ops holding open house from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Members of Don Henry have invited their parents for dinner and open house. Exchange dinners will be held between the houses from Monday, May 2, through Wednesday, May 4.
A meeting to explain co-c. leaders and ideals to those considering membership in a co-op is to be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 5, in Harmon co-op. Anyone interested will be invited to attend the meeting. The week will close with a picnic from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, May 5, at the Potter lake pavilion.
