approximately 25 per cent above wholesale price of local merchants the initial plan for cooperative buying was presented by b j scarpulla of new york a few weeks ago this called for buying of meats at

occupants to be frowned upon by the male head of the house in no uncertain terms last friday came the climax one of the students who was alone in his room had a visit from another freshman bob skedgell hearing an alien tread on the stairs up barged the landlord — who doubtless never read dale carnegie — and stormed into the room on the bed he spied an ex tra pair of pajamas that one of the occupants had neglected to put away he promptly accused his class of 41 roomers of harboring of all things another freshman believing skedgell to be the non-paying boarder he ordered him from the premises out he went and out went the other fresh man — to look for another place to live first of all they rounded up from wherever freshmen go on friday night the other roomate back they went to the house to get their belongings calls police their amiable friend saw them and thinking his life lib erty and pursuit of happiness was endangered phoned the police the call did some good for in a few minutes a squad car pulled up doubtless ready for any em ergency the police stormed up the stairs and saw there two fresh men calmly packing their belong ings while the third sat by non chalantly smoking a cigarette the officers surveyed the sit uation and heard the list of charges against each the most serious of which were trespassing and un necessary noise turning his back on the seeking-to-do-his-duty cit izen one of the officers winked and with an attempt at gruffness said you'd better go boys outside in front was the squad car gathering around they talked i c little
