The Crow's Nest Club, one of two such Navycooperative houses in the United States, provides alow-cost home for approximately fifty of the Uni-versity's Midshipmen, The middies run the house,dividing the work and the responsibility of such anoperation, The "Nest" is more than a place to live,however, as it holds social functions and is recognizedas a club by the University, It also performs theservice of "squaring away" new Midshipmen, thusproviding the nucleus of battalion leaders and teams,

A new member of the "Nest", Bill Koepecky, finds thatthe "cooperative spirit" involves work as well as play,
