Lorax Manner The Lorax was founded in 1990 by a group of environmentally active students. Its name was inspired by the late, great Dr. Seuss' character the Lorax, who speaks for the trees. This is why we use the word manner instead of manor, to signify striving to live in an environmental way. Lorax cooks prepare vegan meals to the membership of up to 25 students.
The Lorax is located at: Campbell Club The 28-member Campbell Club is named after Wallace J. Campbell, an alumnus of the University of Oregon. His senior thesis entitled Depression Cooperatives inspired a group of men in 1935 to begin a co-op named after Wally Campbell. Mr. Campbell went on to found C.A.R.E. and lead the cooperative movement on a national and international level. The Campbell Club still thrives today and is a feline friendly living environment. Though house members are not necessarily vegetarian, only vegetarian food is purchased and a vegan option is always offered with dinners. Our house is located at: Janet Smith House The Janet Smith Student Cooperative is a co-ed house that caters to graduate students. In all other aspects, the house will operate like the other S.C.A. co-ops in that resources, space, jobs, and good times will all be shared. Joint functions between all three S.C.A. houses will be frequent. The JSH holds up to 16 members living in 14 singles and 1 double. Fees, as they do in all the houses, include room, food, utilities, laundry detergent, and toiletries. During the school year, per-term prices are $1,150 for a single, $990 a term for a small single, and $875 for a double. The namesake, Janet Smith, played an integral role in the pioneering of Eugene's cooperative movement in the 1930's. A U of O employment secretary and advisor to women's co-ops, she helped open the first women's co-op in Eugene. The house was purchased by the Students' Cooperative Association in 1981.
