Coop Names Directors; Freshman Wins Place

Eleven new student directors of the Coop were named yesterday, including a Harvard freshman and three candidates who were not nominated by the stockholders.

The three unendorsed candidates--Kenneth G. Bartels '73. Fred D. Poellnitz, Jr., a third-year business student and Paul A. Silver '72--were required by Coop by-laws to petition for the right to compete in the election.

Normally, candidates are nominated by the stockholders under a system of proportional representation: three Harvard undergraduates, one Radcliffe undergraduate, three Harvard graduate students, two MIT undergraduates and two MIT graduate students. However, when one or more candidates petition for election, these proportionality requirements are discarded.

Nevertheless, only one change in representation has occurred--there will be only one MIT graduate on the board of directors while there will be four Harvard graduate students.

The one freshman director is George N. Byars Jr. '75. Byars is a Presidential scholar from Cambridge High and Latin who has worked in the Coop for the past three years.

Other new directors include: Joseph Angland, MIT '72. Harvey C. Dzodin, a third-year law student. Ann Glendening '72. John A. Newkirk, MIT '72. Joel O. Nwagbaraocha, a third-year graduate student at the School of Education. George W. Siguler, a third-year business student and James M. Ziegenmeyer, an MIT graduate student.

Milton Brown, Filene Professor of Retailing and president of the Coop, said yesterday that he was "absolutely delighted" with the new directors, whom he said were a "totally qualified, bright and able group."
