By sheer luck, Wheeler, who was the Southwest Conferences’s top half miler last year was a witness rather than a victim in a double slay ing at a Waco bus station. Wheeler was standing in line to buy a bus ticket when a man began to approach him.

DeVany and Dr. Thomas R. Saving are seeking ways in which economic model planners can determine op timal product quality. They cite fire trucks as an example. “You don’t want all the firetrucks in service all the time. If that hap pens, the quality of the product (in this case, someone to fight your fire) suffers.

One of the points of the research is to determine the highest point of efficiency in a service or production process, not the highest possible production. “Another example of this theory, although we are not examining this specifically, happened during gas rationing,” explain DeVany and Saving. “Rationing was instigated to save “Gas, for practical purposes^ either ‘waiting idle’ in services!, --—: tions or was at maximum ‘use’i buyers’ homes and cars.” Pad High 1 low if tered noon probd The home environment is more susceptible to evaporation^ spillage, so the actual efficienes, gasoline use declined in the home! opposed to the station.
