Lowes' Living
Save PvQeambeir
Co-op houses on the University campus save their mem
bers the equivalent of $38,000 in scholarships each year,
according to an estimate by Ed Sabatka, president of Pio
neer Co-op house and vice-president of the North American
Student Co-operative league!
Sabatka's estimate is based on monthly savings accru
ing to co-op members because their average cost of living
is below that of other students.

ISA to Set Up
Ward System
Organizing members into wards
of twenty members each is the
current project of the ISA Coun
cil. Each ISA member will be in
cluded in a ward group.
These groups will hold meetings
with the ward leader, who is
elected by them. If the members
so desire, the ward may also serve
as a social group. The primary
function of the ward, however,
will be the discussion of ISA pol
icy. The chairman elected by the
group will serve as a representa
tive to the ISA Council, which is
the governing body of all organ
ized Independent groups on the
campus. An alternate will also be
elected from each ward.

S
mine, says Sabatka, "living in a
co-op house saves each member
about $30 per month. There are
now 139 co-op members in three
houses on this campus, and if this
saving is taken over a nine-month
period, the students save nearly
$38,000 each year."
Have Officers.
Each house has a president,
vice-president, secretary, treasur
er and either an executive com
mittee or a board of directors. All
decisions made by the officers are
subject to full house approval.
Other officers in the house or
ganization include a steward and
house manager. The steward pur
chases all foodstuffs for the house,
and the house manager assigns
and supervises all work details.
Co-op house membership is
open, and new members are taken
from submitted applications, us
ually in chronoligical order, by
the existing house membership.
Meetings Held Weekly.
House meetings are held weekly,
and the entire membership deter
mines policies and activities. The
monthly budget is approved by
members with an eye to keeping
the margin between expenses and
income as narrow as possible. The
budget may be changed any time
the membership deems it neces
sary. Co-ops were born on the Ne
braska campus in the spring of
1940. A few students investigated
the possibilities of cooperative liv
ing and eating. Their idea was to
make modest incomes provide
them with meals and quarters as
well as books and tuition. In the
fall of that year a condemned
house at 511 North 16 Street was
renovated for use as a co-op. The
efforts of these students brought
forth the Pioneer Co-op house,
which began operating with 30
members.
In the fall of 1949, Pioneer
Co-op moved to larger quarters
at 1436 S Street. The 40 members
painted, cleaned and remodeled
this house, which they rented from
the University.
Live, Eat for $5
Pioneer Co-op members were
able to live and eat for five dol
lars a week. The money paid by
the members was pooled and used
to buy groceries, hire a cook and
operate the house. At the end of
the school year any surplus money
was either returned to the mem
bers or voted as an appropriation
to improve the house.
In the fall of 1942 the Brown
Palace Co-op was similarly or
ganized. Their first quarters were j
at 14th and Q in a large, brown
house which gave the organization
its name. When this house was
torn down, the "Palace" boys
moved into two houses. In 1948,
they purchased a house at 12th

Snowman to Bachelor
Tells MB Ball Story
In 1941 it was a "King of
Hearts."
In '44 six "Snowflakes" and a
"Snowman" were named.
In the following year, a "Christ
mas Carol" and six eligible bache
lors were elected.

Founds Norris House
A former member of the
Brown Palace Co-op began Norris
house on the same basis as the
other two co-ops. It now occupies
one ofthe former Brown Palace
houses. Its membership is 45.
Due to the shortage of male stu
dents during the war the co-ops
nearly died out. The rapid turn
over of students made manage
ment problems difficult. A few
members kept the houses going,
and after the war more applica
tions for membership were re
ceived than could be accepted.
Leaders in the Nebraska co-op
movement express hope that more
co-ops will be founded on the
University campus. They believe
strongly in their organization and
point with pride to what they call
their "$270 yearly scholarship."

Yearly
choosing eight bachelors began at
the Mortar Board ball.
Thus, the years have made
some changes in the annual
"turnabout" alfair of the campus
formal season but the idea re
mains the same: the girls foot the
bills!
In '41 Russ Morgan played for
the "vice versa" affair. In '44 it
was Blue Barron and his orches
tra. In 1946 Charlie Spivak and
his band kept the feet of coeds
and their dates tapping at the
Coliseum.
This year, 1949, eight eligible
bachelors will be presented at the
MB Ball, known in past years as
the Mortar Board party, the Black
Masque Ball and the "Snowball."
Jimmy Dorscy, his saxophone
and orchestra will set the '49
tempo for the Ball.
Tickets this year are $3 per
couple. But in '40 they
were $1.25, in '41 they were $1.45,
in '45 they were $1.50.
Ah, yes, times change, but the
idea remains the same! Roller
skates, ambulances, baby car
riages, hearses, bicycles and wag
ons served for transportation,
even back in the "dark ages" of
the campus past.

the present system or to the
President. Judges of the Court
would be prohibited from mak
ing complaints.
Sessions of the Court would be
held on Tuesday afternoons. A
judge would be required to dis
qualify himself if he "has per
nessed the violation, was per
sonally involved in it, or is a
relative or close friend of the
person charged."
Actual trials would be held in
secret, allowing only the pres
ence of necessary persons. A
quorum of four judges would be
necessary for a decision of the
Court. Persons making complaints
would appear in Court and testify
only if they so desired, or, if not,
could remain anonymous.
The member of the investigat
ing committee who has previously
investigated the charges would
be allowed to make an impar
tial report of his findings. The
person charges would then be al
lowed to present his side of the
case.
Deliberation of the court
would be made in private as to
the decision of whether the per
son is guilty of the charges and
as to punishment, if any, or any
other action that should be taken.
They would also decide whether
the derision should be publi
cized. Punishment would be based on
a Code of the Student Court
which would set up rules of ac
cepted student discipline. The
Code has not yet been prepared,
but it would be based on past
decisions by the University ad
ministration. CHRISTMAS
