'X"_v_ _ICTTE MICHIGAN DAILY Survey Discloses Dad Must Pay More To Keep Son At School H BARGAINS IN USED TEXT DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN By BILL BAKER (Editor's Note: Having been told that the cost of living was going up, and realizing that college students above all are interested in the econ- omy of things. (not Economics 51), a Daily reporter has conducted an un- scientific survey on the cost of going to college.) Either father will have tq dig down deeper into his pockets or Junior's going to have to tighten up his belt another notch. At least that's the way things ap- peared to me after conversing with some of the merchants on State Street. The cost of going to college has gone up considerably, and the main reason is the increase )n food costs. Beanerles Raise Prices Most of the local beaneries have raised prices. What was once a'5- cent meal now sells for 40 cents. In one place all 10-cent sandwiches have been hiked up. to 12 cents, and all 12-cent sandwiches up to 15 cents. Some places are charging extra for toasting, milk is six instead of five cents in many restaurants. Sweet rolls and doughnuts, the pro- verbial pre-eight o'clock breakfast, have gone up one or two cents. The , cost of living in dormitories hasn't gone up-yet. But in some house meetings the residents have Mobs Jam Doors Of Union In Rush, On Football Days When Ann 'Arbor trebles its popu- lation for three or four hours on foot- ball Saturdays the Michigan Union really plays the big time. Several thousand people crowd the dining room, the two cafeterias and special dining rooms between noon and 8 p.m. and every other Union facility from the barber shop to the bowling alley does a land-office busi- ness. And while the Union staff headed by Acting Manager William kuenzel caters to the thousands of visitors who want to eat, sleep, swim, or find their lost brothers and sisters, the undergraduate staff buzzes around putting the collegiate touches on Ann. Arbor. Jim Edmunds, '43, and his staff of 10 sophomores schedule and ex- epute the mass card displays at the stadium, Bob Burtstein, '43, manages the. ticket resale and Blaine Kelsey, '45, schedules bus, train and air pas- sages for Ann Arbor's visitors from the Union travel desk. At night the Union services con- tinue with the weekend ballroom dances for students and alumni alike, and by midnight the bellhops are busy setting up cot dormitories in large bedrooms to accommodate the many out-of-towners who somehow just don't get back to their homes in Detroit, Toledo or Big Rapids by the time it comes to be in those places. been given pep talks about not tak- ing more than they can eat, econo- mizing on food and eating all they have on their plates. A few fraternities and sororities have raised house bills, though the increase is apparently very slight. In many houses the extra cost has not been added to students' board bills, but absorbed in surplus formerly used or house improvements, etc. Books as yet have not gone up in price, though some State Street book merchants anticipate. slight price rises in the future. Note and type- writing paper has gone up a little. Paper that formerly sold for 75 cents a ream now goes for 80 cents. Engineers Have Trouble Engineers are having troubles lit students don't realize. Slide rules are virtually non-existent, though manufacturers will rent instruments to students for a dollar until new ones are available. Drawing instruments, at, least those whi#i booksellers had on hand, have not gone up. Most of these are made in Germany, though, and one merchant explained that some stu- dents refuse to buy them because of the imprint: "Made in Germnany." Any domestic instruments that' come in in the future will cost more than the foreign ones now on hand, he explained. Private rooming houses have gone up slightly in room rent. All of which, they told me on State Street, means one thing: prices will continue to shoot up gradually, and eventually wages paid students will go up. Wages, they say, always fol- lowing prices in increases. Anyway, cokes are still a nickel. Or they were yesterday. Ann .Arbor Here Is Today's News In Summary Both the police department and the city prosecutor continued their investigation of the accident Wednes- day which took the life of Eno George, 44, as he attempted to cross Main Street during the noon rush hour. Statements were taken by the prosecutor from Mrs. Verndh Mag- nuson, driver of the car, and several witnesses were also questioned by city authorities. Coroner Edwin C. Ganz- horn said that he had not decided yet whether he would order an in- quest held. * * * City firemen were routed hur- riedly out of their fire house Thursday night in response to a call that a downtown stpre was filled with smoke. The fire chief's car, two pump- ing trucks, a service truck, and the aerial ladder truck raced to the scene of the alarm, only to dis- cover that not only was there no fire on the premises, but that the "smoke" was fly spray being blown through the store to rid it of the annoying insects. Ann Arbor Lions Club members realized more than $1,700 from their annual dance to aid needy school children secure glasses or receive other optical treatment. Begun in 1929, the yearly affair was held in the Intramural Build- ing recently, and the profits will aid underprivileged children throughout the county in getting a better educa- tion through better eyesight. 59 (Continued from Page 1) Asst.
