Managing $tuden t a4ffaim Bobbie Payne, first-semester man- ager of the Coop fountain, was a fine executive, a capable business woman. ' , She had no trouble securing many en- gm e . thus'iastic soda-jerks, who offered ' . ' . cokes at any time, sandwiches occa- sionally. Good-natured, energetic, Bobbie spent c1 great deal of time at- tending to fountain routine, cleaning up and taking inventory. Books, invoices, sales tax, all were the responsi- bilities of Lois Gillette, manager of the Coop Store. Biggest rush and most worry came at the beginning of semesters When students from all three colleges flocked madly to buy text books. 17

Mrs. Throne and Betty Musselman worked together supervising the Coop during the second semester. THE OFFICE OF GRADUATE MANAGER entails much work, many headaches. However, Mrs. Throne, former secretary to several graduate managers, remained calm and unruffled throughout the confusion, interruptions and noise from the neigh- boring Publications Office. Her duties were to maintain a Morgenthau-like attitude toward all student organization finances, from Harwood teas to Drama productions. Practicallya full time job in itself was the arranging of schedules and transportation for intercollegiate athletics. One of her most baffling problems was to secure, very late at night, great supplies of blankets for Visiting basketball teams. Supervision of the Coop store and fountain meant buying supplies and handling student personnel. In this capacity she worked along with Betty Musselman, second-semester Manager of the fountain. Betty quickly added new duties to her established ones. Biggest jobs were to guard infrequent cigarettes with her life, and defend the mutilated juke box. Every coke, hamburger, or package of Spuds was presented with the courtesy that is a Coop tradition.
