rrbe Cofi'ec Shop On Monday, Mny 10 1 at a. special meeting of the T ech Council, the question of the C()ffce Shop was djscusscd . Mr. Stephen Spnncns, the Coffee Shop mana):ter since its opening last November, Mated lhat the idea for n Coffee Shop was conceived by the Class of l 94 7, which left a sum of money for t hat purpose. The ' hop would IJring the students closer togrt her, a nd provide the nece~ ury funds for n Student Union Building. That lhc Shop has been n s uccc~s is shci\Vn by Mr. Spaneas' report of a tweuty percent prof•t to date. This '":'" possible because of no overhead expenses, no loss on extra doughnut" which were returned to the baker, and the free services of the .C.i\ . members who operate the shop. ~~ r. Rochrtlt'. superintendent of Sanford Rilty Dormitory, when• the shop is presently located . o;nid that he was behind the Coffee Shop but that he felt that the Shop should pay rent. By paying ~uch a rrnl it was figu red thnt the • hop could not operate at a prolil. i\ new location for the Shop wus considered, but none was found cl ewhrre on the campu~ which wou ld be suitable. T hr Council then recommended that the hop invcslil{alr two pol\sibilitle:.; one, operate the Canteen in lhe gym, llu.' prolits of whi<:h would pay Cor the rt•nL of Lhe Coffee Shop in the Dorm. or two, arply for an a llocat ion from the Student Activity T ax to puy Cor Lhc Coffee Shop rent.
