Investigation Report Tabled As
Board Of Directors Adjourns
After approximately two hours of discussion late yesterday afternoon, the board of directors tabled until their next
meeting recommendations concerning coffee shop and book store prices made by members of an investigating committee
appointed last week by Emory Ratcliffe. chairman of the group. Making the report were Deana Wilson, women's legisla-
nussioner, and Al Kuhn, student vice president. Their suggestions were based on an intensive study of nearby
busmesses and downtown establishments. .
Members of the board were not wholly satisfied with the report nor were the attitudes of students and faculty per-
■pl'-tc accord. The time for discussion was short, however, and such a matter obviously needs a great
 iwoerstios. before a sound conclusion and satisfactory solution can be assured. Wendell Bell, student president,
:.n<l RatchcTe are pleased with the investigation's progress and are .■atisfied that it ... 1-eing conducted fairly.

r' "Food cost seldom runs more than 50 per cent," the pro-
1   prietors state, "while labor cost is between 28 and 33 per cent.
Operating cost, including such items as rent, utilities, depre-
n ciation, and miscellaneous, run about 10 per cent."
" Since proprietors expect, on the average, 15 per cent
•' profit and an operating expense of 10 per cent, it is clear
■ that with the coffee shop's operating expenses being five
' per cent less.prices in the coffee shop should not be only
n eight per cent less than other establishments, as it is
'    claimed now. BIT THEY SHOILD BE 20 PER CENT
LESS THAN OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS.

'' the cafeteria and coffee shop states that her prices, this yer.
were pushed up enough to absorb th.- $4.T:!.'!.JC stated loss
* which occured last year.
. The student report recommended thai last year's loss
should not lie MADE IP by higher prices this year, but
;     should be written off the books. This would mean that the
.    student association should transfer the loss from the cafe-
j     lerill account to the general association account,

Tile second recommendation the student committee put
•i forth was to 'immediately reduce all prices to accomodate
.. a profit margin of not more than two per cent.
.t        Included in the report also was the recommendation that
the cafeteria manager and cell v..t.:.g in, ihUt- of the Board
