Alpha Phi Omega to Publish
Handbook of Organizations
A booklet on student organiza
tions is being prepared by Alpha Phi
Omega in cooperation with the dean’s
office for the purpose of making
available pertinent information con
cerning the various clubs and so-
j cietles in the University.

chairman of a committee named by
the fraternity and sorority presidents
to investigate the possibilities of co
operative buying, stated.
The purchase, Mayes explained, is
the first stage of an experiment to
test the practicality of cooperative
buying.
By the purchase, Mayes said, the
fraternities involved secured a net
saving of approximately $3 a ton
on the coal, or about $150 on the
carload. Payment was made in ad
vance in order to provide the neces
sary capital.
Tentative plans of the group
include incorporation and employ
ment of a purchasing agent should
the plan prove feasible, Mayes stated.
Two experimental shipments of
staple foods are planned, to be made
at monthly intervals, Mayes said.
If it is found that the plan is prac
tical an effort will be made to com
plete final organization of the group
before the end of the current school
year, so that full-time operation may
commence next fall.
In order to provide a working
capital for the organization each fra-
terinty and sorority will be expected
to deposit $1 for each member of
the group, which will give a work
ing capital of approximately $1,000,
a sum which Mayes believes will be
more than sufficient for the needs
of the body.
Three additional speakers have
been selected to appear on the pro
gram of the University Christian Mis
sion which will be held on the cam
pus and in various Athens churches
Jan. 29 to Feb. 3.
They are Miss Laura E. Aspinwall,
dean of women at Lynchburg Col
lege, Lynchburg, Va.; Dr. Arthur
Carson, a member of the faculty at
Cornell; and Dr. Harold W. Tribble,
head of the department of theology
at the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary in Louisville, Ky.
Round table discussions will be held
every afternoon at 3:45, at places
which will be announced next week.
Discussions will also be held in fra
ternities, sororities and dormitories,
and any organization of this kind
which wishes to secure the services
