THE ONLY COLLEGE! DAILY IN THE SOUTH A JOURNAL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CAROLINIANS "TO CREATE A CAMPUS PERSONALITY" VOLUME XLIV , . tprroMAi. raore 4ist s CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 1936 mvuxtss nanVm NUMBER120 .. " THE ; CAMPUS KEYBOARD by Phil Hammer Student Co-operative System Has Only Begun To Explore Its Campus Potentialities. Despite the fact that our stu dent co-operative program, em bracing a clothing store and pressing club, has received con siderable publicity from nation al youth organizations, it is true that the possibilities of ac tivities in this field have hard ly been scratched as yet, ; The commotion caused when the Student Co-operative asso ciation, began . operations and -subsequently in relation to the Publications Union Board loan .and Student Council investiga tion is relatively immaterial in .any true evaluation of the co op ; system. It is clear that if the student co-op idea is ever pushed to its rightful consum mation, it will have to involve jurisdiction of the Student Coun cil. Savingte hajve been reported by many members of the asso ciation. On the other hand sdqwntown merchants have con sistently opposed the idea, nat r urally, on the grounds that -it is unfair competition. There -are many students who back up the merchants and admit that the few pennies saved is no -worth the costs to private busi- iiess-men. "'; ' If we use the present co-op system as a' starter, we will be able sometime in the future to liave co-operative associations operating our book exchange. our clothing stores, our drug stores, our pressing establish ment and very probably our din ing roo)n. A well-maaiaged system such as this, run through ; University "sanction : and advice by elected student directors, would be able to turn over an nually to the loan fund and oth er contingency funds various surpluses from earnings. At the same time it would effect sav ings totalling hundreds of dol lars to students. The question obviously goes deeper than simple competition vvith merchants or interest in student self -management, how ever. As a state university whose financial control is vest ed in a central agency in Ra leigh, we would be liable to the issue of state sanction of iiwad ing the realm of private busi ness and you know what that -would mean. . It is our opinion, nevertheless, that in not many moons there -will be an all-campus co-opera tive association located on the campus (not on private-business Franklin street) which will pro -vide all student necessities at a saving. It is logical to suppose that such an activity will only take place as student govern ment itself branches out, im proves and takes over the situ ation. . , , In Today's News Mid-winter German dances -closed last night with capacity crowd to hear.

The evening was brought to a close by -Dr. Y. Z. Chang, vis iting professor at the Univer sity, who made an informal talk on the new liberty in China for girls. Dr. Change facetiously re marked that he would put the delegates to sleep just as he did the students in- his classes, but the girls were very wide awake at the end of his talk. The speaker told of the polit ical and social revolution in Chi na in 1910 which gave an im petus to co-educational institu tions and thus increased his problems as a teacher one hun dred fold. "With two co-eds in one class among a great many boys, there was naturally some interest aroused. The problem was solved when the boys re sorted to sending notes to the girls, and finally, they received permission to call on them." Dr. Chang then: told of the courtships.
