The purpose of the league of campus co-ops is to promote the exchange of ideas on the problems of institution, government, administration, finance accounting and recreation among the member student cooperatives, to provide educational aids for the associated cooperatives, to foster the formation of student cooperatives through technical advice and material aid, and to encourage the use of the Rochedale principles of cooperation.
Merlin Miller of the Consumers Cooperative association, North Kansas City, Mo.; Hilden R. Gibson, instructor of political science and sociology; and John Moore, Y.M.C.A. executive secretary, will serve as leaders for the conference.
The convention, which lasts until Sunday noon, begins at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow with registration of delegates, followed by inspection of the campus, Rock Chalk and Jayhawk Co-ops and University residence halls. In a general assembly at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow evening, co-op representatives will discuss convention organization, aims and rules.
Gibson, Moore Lead Discussions
The local host cooperatives, Jayhawk andw Rock Chalk, were originated as one house, the Jayhawk Co-op, in the fall of 1939. The Jayhawk Co-op was organized by Jerry Fiedler, a graduate of last year, and started operation with 21 boys and house parents.
Organized Rock Chalk
The second house, the Rock Chalk Co-op, was organized at the beginning of the present semester with 22 boys and house parents.
The independent Jayhawk and Rock Chalk Co-ops are operated on much the same basis as the University residence halls. The boys do the cooking, house cleaning, bed making, and other household duties.
The co-ops are now making plans to purchase one or both of their houses. Tentative plans also have been laid for further expansion next year, to be made possible through the acquisition of another house with accomodations for approximately 20 boys.

Production of blocks for the Engineering Research laboratory is expected to take on speed when new-type forms are put into operation by the end of this week or early next week.
Over 2800 blocks have already been turned out in the basement factory in Hoch auditorium.
The new forms are made of metal, and will turn out one block at a time. Experimental metal forms were discarded be-
The new forms are block at a time. Experimental cause the material stuck to the sides of the form, but the problem is believed to be solved by the use of a special molding powder, with which the form is dusted before any material is put in. The blocks are removed by a lever, thus lessening chances of breaking or injuring them by excessive handling.
Present plans are to have a large supply of bolcks on hand before actual construction begins on the site in back of Marvin hall.
