St. Valentine will again have j
his annual fling this week end, j
and the fancies of the stvulent s
will lightly turn to thoughts of i
Valentine parties, sweetheart din
ners, blizzards, ami more formats, j
Friday, as anyone who has reaa
the Nebraskan society this week I
must know, will probably be more
glamorous and exciting than usual j
owing to the romantic holiday. A (
number of dinner parties are be
ing planned before the formals, j
and the Sigma Alpha Mil's will ,
present a very different and novel ,
idea in the form of a Parisian j
party to be held Saturday night j
at the chapter house. At any i
rate, unless we have another bliz- I
zard, and everything is snow- j
bound, this week end promises to !
be very exciting and enjoyable.

M'NEIL DISCUSSES AMER
ICAN ADAPTABILITY TO
COOPERATION.
(Continued from Page 1.)
try, that the cooperatives move
ment is the practical means of
realizing the brotherhood of man.
"Kagawa succeeded in giving
great impetus to this economic
movement in Japan following his
return there after his education in
this country at Princeton," Prof.
McNeill declared. "He explained
the cooperative movement in his
own country and gave it unity and
vitality by linking it with his king
dom of God movement. His orig
inal work in his -wn country, how
ever, was that of organization of
the projects all ready began rather
than an initiation of the move
ment. His efforts have undoubted
ly helped to alleviate the poverty
of the masses in Japan," McNeill
said.
Different type'; of co-opers fives
that Kagawa has fostered in
Japan are consumer co-operatives,
marketing, producers, credit, in
surance, and mutual aid. Among
his many successes in the inter
est of the general movement the
enlistment of the co-operation of
the imperial government of Japan
is paramount. In this country the
only type of co-operative that has
attained much significance is
found in the field of marketing
according to Prof. McNeill.
The first and most important
kind of co-operative is that w!iich
involves the consumer McNeill
said. In recounting the history of
the first sucessful co-operative of
this type in England, he reviewed
Hie efforts of the founders of the
Rochdale project. A group of
weavers met in a tavern for their
evening of stimulated enjoyment.
While the group was lingering
v.r their last mug one of them,
: Charles Howarth, calculated the
amount that had been spent during
i hi evening. At a later date this
'hrii'y member assembled the
group again and proposed that
they save what they could each
week with a view to establishing
a business venture of their nn.
After a number of weeks of
frugality Howarth and his friends
started their own establishment
which was a single room open for
business twice a week. They bee&n
'viih a capital stor k of S140. This
project known as the Rochdale
movement with its associated ac
tivities had a capital investment
of approximately a billion dollars
in 1929 and did a gross business
of nearly 'I billion. The concrrii
now owns plantations for raw ma
terial, steamship lines, production
plants, wholesale supply houses,
and machinery for distribution.
For certain products it is a com
plete economic system in itself.
According to Prof. McNeill the
diief contribution to the economics
of co-operatives made by Mr.
Howarth in his Rochdale project
was his plan for the distribution
of surplus earnings. These earn
ings arc portioned out to the mem
beis of the group in proportion to
their patronage of the concern.
Thus the patronage dividend as it
is called operated as a discount.
The co-operative store sells its
wares at the same prices as its
competitor, but the profit goes
back to the customers of the store
according to the amount of their
purchases.
The stockholders in such a
project receive a fixed rate of
interest on their investment and
the control is in the hands of the
members, each member having one
vote instead of votes in prportion
to his shares of stock. McNeill
stated that this arrangement ex
emplified in the Rochdale organ
ization is characteristic of all
true co-operatives.
The Indiana Daily News makes
the following criptic comment:
"Publication of the ten highest
paid individuals in the coutnry
reveals that Mae West earned
more than Arthur Brisbane. Altho
varying slightly they both have
pretty good lines."

commented, "Charter clay is a time
for taking inventory of the assets
and liabilities of the university, to
see what progress we have made
in these sixty-seven years in build
ing a virile and dynamic univer
sity which has helped to shape the
social order of our time. In these
