Miss Hutchinson, in coU&boiiu- tion with the Comic Weekly, is sending a weekly Newsletter con taining suggestions to other teach ers interested.

Mr. Goodwyn says that includes replacement of equipment, cleaning and laundry; insurance and garbage collection-. But the exact amoijmt tised to replace equipment wks i)ot ob tainable! | ; [. !; Why isn’t it obtainable? I have seen some people; at work in the mess hjall office. Aren’t some of them bookkeepers!? If! they canjt keep up with how much is spent on replacing equipment, maybe the price of meals should be raised some more in ordejr to pay more or better bookkeepers.! [ j j So tho mass hull was forced to pay the creamery; $-147.97 Tor loss of milk bottles! Well, kepording to my, calculations, at cents per bottle that would be 11,199 bottles in five months. Assuming that only 5,599 students of the 7,700 enrol led eat at the meks hall—that is 2 bottles per students in just 5 months. I don’t take any; fny ’ I '. , — roommate didn’t take any. Who are those two guys who. took four. Come to think of it, I know n|ore students.that have no use for'milk bottles than I know , one who do use them. Who takes them all? Now that (he number of thieves is narrowed down a bit, why don’t we isolate a few individuals with bulging pockets? 4 After all, if Goodwyn will grant me the assumption that'the mess hall has ^ctiiftlly served meals about 600 hours during the past 5 months, one pefson every 3 minutes walks out of the mess hall with a bulging pocket because he is carry ing a milk bottle away, i. e., ac cording to Gpodftyn’s statistics. I won’t even bother to consider the plates Gobdvyyn mentions, be- cau e I don’t see how the average ? alent taifi hide ope on his person without being seen, most especially one dripping with gravy. I can’t possibly understand how that much 1 stealing of equipment can take place without much of it being detected at the time it occurs. If the real answer to the “hidden Cost” is breakage, much of it must go toward the purchase of butter to be used as a finger lubricant. It seerrtS that this so-called “hid den cost” is hidden a lot better than Goodwyn’s article seems to reveal. Goodwyn admits that a cheaper meal could be had if the hidden cost were eliminated, so it appears to me that it would be justifiable to spend someimoney to find th(i “real hidden cost.” Six Staff Members To Present Papers At Society Meets Six member;M)f the A&M depart ment of biochemistry and nutrition will present papers at the meetings of the Federated Societies at At lantic City this week.
