The first service founded by The Corp, Diemusbiederplatz, was a record co-op that operated out of Healy Basement. Though very popular, the service struggled due to frequent thefts. In 1975, the service was merged with the Vital Vittles grocery store, and the combined service was renamed “Audio Vittles” after a campus-wide naming contest. In 1979, all record sales were taken over by The Corp’s new convenience service, Saxa Sundries.
