A member of a
three-month-old Peoples' Food
Cooperative in Lincoln said the
group's aims include "getting
better food at better prices,"
and "providing cooperation for
survival rather than
competition" in other basic
physical needs.
Dennis Berkheim said he
uses the term "member"
loosely since people in the
cooperative don't pay dues or
become involved in things he
said are commonly considered
obligations of members of
most clubs.
"YOU JUST DO what
appropriately must be done to
get the food to everyone,
including yourself," he said.
The University student said
members are now buying fruits
and vegetables at 30-40 per
cent reductions in common
retail prices.
Canned goods and grains
will be added to the selection
before Christmas, Berkheim
said, adding reductions may be
up to 80 per cent in summer
when the cooperative deals
directly with local farmers.
HE SAID THE average
yearly savings will probably be
about 50 per cent.

"We are planning to grow
some of our own food this
summer," he said, "and we'll
cooperate in every way with
small farmers."
Other plans include a free
health clinic, free clothing
store and an information
center with facts about
anything people need to know
to survive, Berkheim said.
HE SAID" Lincoln
community support is
necessary, since the majority of
the co-op's 100 members are
from the University
community. That is why an
information center off campus
would be beneficial, he said.
When a location is found,
the co-op "could immediately
set up the free clothing store
and information center,"
Berkheim said.
All current questions and
plans for expansion "are made
by the people," he said,
emphasizing there is no
hierarchy, no officers.
"It works through the
power of the people," he said.
ABOUT 30 order forms (for
food) are now turned in each
week, Berkheim said.
An ideal number, according
to him, would be 100 forms,
representing about 300-500
people.

UNL fraternity reorganizes
following suspension
Complete reorganization of
the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln's Pi Kappa
Phi fraternity is currently
underway after their national
office suspended the house
charter two weens ago,
according to PKP's national
field secretary Jay Arnold.
The new group, Arnold said,
may develop along the lines of
a model PKP membership
program which eliminates
pledgeship. This decision,
however, will rest with the new
chapter, he said,
IN TALKING WITH some
of the 23 students interested in
redeveloping the chapter,
Arnold said he found them
opposed to current fraternity
organization on the UNL
campus. Seventeen of 80
chapters now utilize the PKP
model membership program,
he added.
The students interested in
reorganizing the chapter
include no former members.
They are men who contacted
Berkheim said there are
"many more people than there
are jobs to go around." Duties
include bookkeeping,
scheduling people for duties,
handling the money, buying,
compiling order forms,
distributing food to members
and, after they've collected
what they ordered, keeping the
collection site open to the
public to buy what they want.
FOOD CAN BE ordered at
general meeting every night,
Berkheim said. It is distributed
from a central site every
Thursday (all day). From 7-10
p.m. the public is then allowed
to buy what cooperative
"members" didn't.
Recent additions to Monday
meetings include talks by
nutritionists, brief explanations
of jobs of co-op members and
pot luck dinners, Berkheim
said.
"They're fun and we have
great food," he said of the last
item. "Everyone brings a little
bit of something and shares it
with everybody else."

Arnold via a Nebraska Union
booth. He. said additional
names will be taken at the
booth through Wednesday.
Arnold said he is currently
interviewing the students.
About half are freshmen and
sophomores, and the rest upper
classmen and graduate
students-from which a core
group of about 15 will be
chosen to re-establish the
fraternity.
THE ALUMNI organization
has indicated they will support
efforts to revive the chapter,
Arnold reported, although they
plan to sell the chapter house
at 224 No. 17th.
Living arrangements will be
one of the first problems the
new group encounters, Arnold
reported. He speculated . they
would probably group together
in dormitories or off-campus
houses for the remainder of the
year.
Securing a new chapter
house will not be considered
until the membership is built

Arnold explained that the
charter was suspended;
meaning it was lifted from the
formal fraternity organization
but not taken from
campus-after a two-month
stay at the UNL house
convinced him it was "beyond
help." x
THE HOUSE, he said, faced
declining membership,
alu mni-active communication
problems and poor living
facilities. There were only 1 5
active members in the house at
the time of the suspension.
As far as affiliation with the
Inter-fraternity Council, the
field secretary said, this will
also be decided by the new
chapter members. A no-pledge,
no rush-week approach may
not complement H'C's current
operation, though, he added.
The PKP UNL chapter was
established in 1914, and was
the 14th PKP chapter in the
nation.
