Hood River Students Form Living Cooperative at U Oregon
Four Hood River boys formed a student living cooperative at the University of Oregon in Eugene two years ago. They bought a city lot on installment and built a small house, living for ten dollars a month per person. A fifth member joined, costs rose briefly, two members did not return, the group dissolved last fall, and the house and lot were sold for a $150 profit. All four distinguished themselves in university student enterprise.
