Co-ops can operate in a variety of settings. Co-op employees operate out of From House, a non profit, self-help organization for low income adults. The co-op buys food from wholesalers and sells it to local restaurants. The co-op buys mark-up to cover maintenance.

THE CO-OP, though operated by ASUN, is not funded from student fees. Money for operation comes from ASUN funds obtained through their private enterprises, and from the $10 donation made to that the co-op hoped to be self-supporting by next year.
Students at the University of Oklahoma have set up their own co-op independent of the student government. The co-op called the students to operate for about a year. The co-op is split into three sections to keep membership participation at a maximum and facilities at a minimum because the Lone Wolf direct distribution of the goods.
John Vetter, organizer of Lone John W. No 3, said that the co-opats on commodities; grain, cheese and produce. The co-op members turn in their orders once every two weeks and pick them up two weeks later.

Ed School Offers Few Courses In Drug Counselling to Teachers

The undergraduate students of the School of Education receive little instruction in drug abuse problem of elementary and secondary students.
Dale Scannell, dean of the School of Education, said Wednesday, "I think that most students are not ready to kind of problem to a counselor."
He said that handling students in need of help is a specialized role and not one that the average teacher would want to deal with.
Scannell said that if any program were developed, they would be on the counselor and administrative levels of the graduate program of accounting. There are no plans for undergraduate courses in the field, said Scannell.
Information for undergraduates or other students who test proficient Scannell said, is offered through a number of courses. He listed educational psychology and the methods courses as examples.
Peter Johnsen, assistant professor of education, who teaches some of the educational psychology courses, said that he did not believe students use or abuse in the classroom. Johnsen said he did not believe

"Our program badly needs the teacher, an associate professor of physical education. "We're not really doing the kind of job we would like."
Onessa said there seemed to be a need for a coordinated effort between school and home Education to get the information about drug abuse and use into the hands of the students.
Oness said that the physician education department has a staff course to give more information in the classroom about drug use and abuse.
Oness also said that finding the material for the course and the money to fund it may become a problem.
The department has two or three courses that could deal with the problem. Ossess said.

According to Henry, the other health courses that Owness taught in college were ministrative aspects of health education; very few students enrolled in these.
The only structured program on drug use and abuse is a seminar that has been held on campus for the last two sum-
"One problem in teaching drug anise education," said Ossness, "is that students don't learn it taken. You can't teach about the drug problem like it was a no-oil."
No plans have been made to the seminar this year, said Howard Cahill of School of Pharmacy. He said another seminar may be planned.
Mossberg said that the seminar had been a joint venture of the School of Education and the School of Pharmacy.
B&G Worker Silent About Cash Find
A University of Kansas staff member is remaining silent about his discovery Thursday of a large cache of money.
Robert Götstein, an employee of KU Building and Grounds, said that he has been unable to release any information on the find without the permission of the university.
The refusal, he said, was "in the interest of fairness" to the KBI and to the unknown owners
of the money. He said that he did not wish to release any information that might jeopardize his investigation.
The cache contains $10,000 to $25,000, according to KBI officials.
Law enforcement officers said Wednesday that they were checking out a building that might be from a burglary in Kansas City Sept. 29 in which $19,492.73 was taken from Midwest Concrete Co.
