Dinsmore.Purchasing Agent of the University,who has tried the system with a fewof the fraternities. So far, the frater¬nity men have defeated Mr. Dinsmore'spurpose by telling outsiders of theplan by which they obtain their goodsat a price below the usual figure,thereby incurring the disfavor of someof the trade organizations who learnedof the system.“ In order to carry out the plansuccessfully, fraternity men must beeducated in business practice, must re¬alize the importance of paying billspromptly, and must be willing to co¬operate,” said Mr. Dinsmore. “Thiscannot be accomplished in a fewmonth’s time, but may require sev¬eral years of work.”Disclose PlanThe idea of co-operative buying isthat any fraternity that is getting atype of goods at a price lower thanthe other fraternities shall report theprice and the company from whichthey are buying to Mr. Dinsmore. Hewill investigate the matter and willnotify the others. In this way all thepurchases of all the fraternities canbe made at the minimum price.By Prof. Edson S. BastinEdson S.

The Council’s new plan sug¬gests one week’s rushing before theformal opening of school on Oct. 1and one week following.
