The results of the survey are given here.) Either Pa will have to dig down a little deeper into his pockets or Jun- ior will have to tighten up his belt another notch At least that's the impression given by local merchants, landladies at' everyone else who has a finger in the financial pie in this college town. The cost of going to college has gone up considerably, mainly be - cause it is going to cost Ed and Coe, more to eat this-year. But there are other reasons, too. Food -Costs Higher Independents who feast in Statel Street sanctuaries and downtown emporiums will find this especially true. The rise in meal costs is uni- form. A meal that last year sold for 25 cents now will cost you 30 cents. Twelve-cent sandwiches have go le up' to 15 cents. and single-deckers that went for 10 cents have gone up to 12 cents. Many beaneries are charging ex- tra for' toasting, and in many places milk now costs six cents. Doughnuts and sweet rolls, the traditional "pre-eight o'clock" quickies, have, gone up one or two cents. Rooming costs for, those inde- pendents who live outside dorms have gone up, too, though the rise is slight. Rooms that last year cost $72.50 are now $75 in many places, and the water isn't any hotter. Living in the dorms doesn't cost any more-yet. But in some house meetings dorm denizens have been given pep talks about eating all on their plates, not let- ting their eyes be bigger than their stomachs and generally econ- omizing. On the other side of the fence, fraternitiesand sororities are also having their difficulties. The ma- jority of houses have not raised their housebills, as yet. But almost every organization is seriously considering the problem. Since most fraternities and soror- ities pay one lump sum for room and board, the problem of separation is rather difficult Of the houses who have already raised their housebills, the rise has been nominal. One fra- ternity has added five cents a day to the board bill, while another has lifted the monthly assessment $6 which includes both room and board. Cutting 'Extras' Generally fraternal organizations are not charging more, but they are cutting down on the "extras" as much as possible, and hoping for the best. Next to room and board comes ed- ucation, and therein lies a note of cheer. Books as yet have not gone up in price, though some State Street merchants anticipate slight pricej rises in the near future. Note and typewriting paper has gone up some. Paper that formerly sold for 75 cents a ream now goes for 80 cents. Engineers are having trouble that lit students aren't sharing in. Slide rules are virtually hVerboten, due to priorities and defense preparatio ,, Some manufacturers are meeting the emergency, however, by offering to rent the few available rules to stu- dents for one dollar until new ones are available. Drawing instruments, at least those which booksellers have on hand, have not risen in p 'ice. Most of these are made in Germany, how-- ever, and one merchant explained that some students refuse to buy them because of the imprint: "Made in Germany." Any domestic instru- ments that come in the future will cost more than the foreign ones now available, he explained. And here's good news for the men who like to enlarge their wardrobe in town. The prices of men's clothing has remained stea- dy with but few exceptions. Shet- lands, gloves and belts have risen M.E.A. Will Confer In Detroit Oct. 16,17 The Regional Conference of the Michigan Educational Association will be held Oct. 16 and 17 with headquarters at the Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit. Educational problems will be dis- cussed in a series of meetings, and officers for the region will be elected. Prof. Charles Fries of the English department will address the modern language symposium on "Foreign Language and the Pupil's English." Clyde Vroman and Marion Mc- Kinney of the University High School will serve as chairmen of the music and English section meetings re- spectively. Engineers Attend Meeting1 Approximately sixty electrical en- gineering students attended the meet- ing of the local chapter of the Amer- ican Institute of Electrical Engineers, held at the Union yesterday evening. An introductory talk explaining the organization to prospective new mem- bers was given by Assistant Dean A. H. Lovell. in price, but the percentage is un- der the five mark. Ah, but the coed-she faces a dif- ferent situation. First, with the new luxury tax, fur and fur-trimmed coats have risen as much as 40 or 50 percent. And woolen goods are up at least 20 percent, a conservative estimate. But surprisingly enough, silks were at the same price level which pre- vailed before priorities set in. Of course, the variety of styles has been greatly reduced, but the c'ost to the consumer is still the same. Costs More To Get Trimmed In the realm of luxuries, the hair- cut, for men has already gone up from 50 to 65 cents. Ad with barber supplies up as much as 40 percent, wages increased 10 percent. and oth- er costs also rising, the hairclippers are worried. But they anticipate no immediate rise over the present level. As for the beauty shops, they too have raised prices, mainly on sham- poos and special instruments. They too, however, are struggling to keep charges at their present rate. Trouble For Movies The movies are experiencing trou- ble In keeping the cost of entertain- ment down. Their main problem is not whether to raise the price for shows, which they feel is the proper thing to do, but their main concern is the expected adverse student reac- tion to any further rise. For the present anyway, the movies will be available for the same price as last year. Managers refuse to predict the future for more than a week, however. State Street merchants predict that student wages will also be go- ing up, following the increased cost of living. But they can't say when, .or how much.
