The editors of the student paper, impressed with the co-operative stores they had seen at Norris, prepared to campaign for a co-operative lunchroom. But when Lincoln's teachers tallied up the scores on attitude tests given the students before and after the trip, one thing that $9,100 of Sloan money had bought amazed them.
