    Co-op
by Marsha Kahm
There may be a way for
students who buy their own
food to save up to 50 per cent
in food prices if the People's
Food Co-op receives the
interest and cooperation it
needs from the community.
In the initial stages still, the
main goal of the co-op is to
bring people together to buy
food and save money,
according to Dennis Berkheim,
an organizer.
THE CO-OP WOULD be
able to accomplish this goal
mainly by eliminating the
middleman. That means people
involved would deal directly
with wholesalers and farmers
to buy the food and then
distribute it directly to persons
in the co-op.

mobilizes to cut food costs
All of the work involved
would be shared by the
members of the co-op and
would be rotated in a pattern,
Berkheim explained. He said
the more complicated jobs,
such as treasurer and
bookkeeper would probably be
passed around on a monthly
basis.
A 1 1 h o ugh the final
organization of the co-op will
be "up to the people" it is
being modeled somewhat after
a co-op which exists in Venice,
California which saves its
members around 50 per cent of
food costs.
BERHKEIM SAID the
co-op has around 300
household members and is
centrally located within the
community.

"The co-op will be
organized in a . basically
different way," said Berkheim.
"It won'r he t.'u i.dvri frustration
dictating to the people but the
people organizing everything
themselves."
A Lincoln lawyer who
works for the Lincoln Legal
Service is checking into all the
legal aspects of the co-op to
eliminate any future problems.
All the other facets of the
co-op, such as a food
distribution center and
contacts with food sources are
being looked into, Berkheim
said.
FOR THE TIME being
meetings are being held on
Monday nights at the Lincoln
Free School, 700 N. 27th
Street. Berkheim says at the
two meetings that have been
held already a lot of
"fantastic" ideas have been
offered. He estimates there are
around 150 interested people
so far.

Berkheim said because the
publicity has been mainly on
the campus, the majority of
people in the co-op will be
students. However, he said his
prime goal is to make it a
community project.
Considering: this as a
springboard toward other
community programs,
Berkheim hopes that other
issues can be brought up
among the members. He threw
out such things as health care,
shelter and, if need be,
University expansion into the
community.
"WE ALWAYS WANT to
maintain the co-op as a group
of individuals getting together
to buy food," emphasized
Berkheim. "There is no way
that it could operate
commercially for profit."
At first the co-op will deal
mainly with non-perishable
goods until members can solve
a few of the technical problems
such as obtaining a home for

the co-op, furnishing it with
equipment to keep perishable
foods and finding a way to
transport them.
Bart Becker, a UNL student
who has attended a meeting,
said one of the ideas thrown
out was to have people put in
their orders. On a certain day a
week later everyone would
pick up their food.
Becker estimated the co-op
should be able to start
operating within two weeks.
"Everyone interested should
try to get to the next meeting
so everything can get moving."
A FUND MAY BE
established, according to
Becker, by having everyone
pay an initial fee to join which
entitles him to obtain food
through the co-op.
At the next meeting
Monday, there will be a
speaker from a wholesale house
to speak and a report on the
legal aspects of the coop. It
will be held at the Lincoln Free
School at 7:00 p.m.
