The Coop was “infringing upon [students??] rights as consumers,” jealously guarding its “monopoly,” and “tarnishing [its] image in the mind of the College community,” one commentator lamented.

Payne remembers the hassle of studying for finals at the same time his Loyola classmates became involved in community service projects around the city. “For the first few weeks, I was kind of stuck in the library here.
