This pro ject proved so successful »nd saved students so many steps to the North Gets that snack t>ara will be opened in both mess halls be- fteahtC tonight. For the time being, the snack bars will remain open from 8 to 10 nightly, and if the need arises, the hours will be changed to suit Ihp students’ ne>4s. Sandwiches, iced tea. coffee, and des serts wi)l be among the delicacies behind the serving counter, with prices fixed to suit any pocketbook. The snack bar at Duncan Hall is open not only to veteran students, but also to members of the Cadet Corpe. Roth mete halls are now operating on s full schedule. Hiring students for part- tims positions caused a short delay, togeth er with an exodus of regular mess hall work ers. The food at botlMaau halls still tastes as everything were prepared in the same pot. And the prices—well, they possibly are a little high considering the quality of the :food. Planned or Unplanned... The role of the state in our national eco nomy has been and 4 still is one of the moat popular subjects for debate. The extreme left and the reactionary' right are continually “at each other’s throat” as to what part the government should play in the everyday lives of its cititens. John Q. Public is more or less indifferent to both groups. His approach to the subject is dependent on the advantages that he can gain. He prefers private enterprise where vit can do the best job. If the government can do a better job in some particular phase he turns to the government. ; In general he is not concerned abdut the source and control of his electric light*, wat er, gas, and telephone service. AH ne asks is ■ that he receive good service, reasonably priced, with courteous service. However, John Q. Purolic does fear power when it ia concentrated in the hands of a few, whether it be a centralised governmental bureau or a cantralised business monopoly. In general his wants are rather moagrr; he only expects an economy to posses* some degree of |>ermanine|. .Depression* »re to; him real things. He hug experienced their vio- Ai Mwkcniic Hmn It....

Politicians may rant against a “planned society”, branding it with all the popular colors and tinges. The greatness of free capitalism, as extolled by some economist, is of little interest to him. However, he is concerned > about the periodic states of "booms” and “busts”, that have existed in this country. After experiencing some 22 of these cy cles in the history of thi* nation, John Q. Public has come to recognize that bad times are related to mal-diatribution of incomes. When 60* i of the wage earners average leas than I1.&00 a year, he knows that an un healthy situation exists.
