During the year of 1962 there
will probably not be much notice
able change in the affairs of our
country. Business will continue to
improve, an occasional war scene
ivdl frighten the country, several big
strikes might occur, and inflation
will be slight. Peace will still be
elusive- but nevertheless, war vill
be avoided. The world situations
wdl be similar to that of the recent
^'""Mrst let ns look at the gloomy
-irlP of 1962. Farmers will have
tieir normal problems with prices
rl income, Si "’S
ieel industry faces another mid-
vear strike threat and with this
event the increasing competition of
Se industries abroad will continue.
Khrushchev will try to keep the en
tire world as unhappy as usual.
Lrlin Southeast Asm, and Castro
will acid to the uneasiness of the U.
” iffmrs Africa will remain in the
headhnes'with the continual Congo
"’Tn Serai, however, 1962 will be
,|,e >7"^ ““Sa and o(
SL”„S.o.nlc.no.A-
r ALn the business world has
iy few iuble a„ot» to faco at
the present. The steel strike is one
of these problems, but if the strike
is called, it is. liable to be short.
Since the threat has been recogniz
ed, it can surely be handled success
fully.
The money situation will not pre
sent any problems in 1962. Up to 4
per cent will be earned on the mon
ey in bank savings accounts, 4 to
4.5 percent will be paid by the sav
ings and loans accounts, and U. S.
savings bonds will be like cash that
earns. The value of a dollar will re
main the same even with the very
slight prospect of inflation at hand.
Debtors will not hold an advantage
over others as before. Those people
who save will be more secure, but
becoming wealthy in the near fu
ture will be extremely difficult.
The rise and fall of the stock
market will continue just as it al
ways has in the past. A rise is pre
dicted for the new year. Also a rise
in prices of stocks can certainly be
expected if earnings are to be high
er.
Education must he discussed too.
The cost and standards of colleges
will be in an upward trend. Higher
education will be aided in any way
possible. One way is that since col
lege entrance is getting more diffi
cult year by year, the students who
are capable of staying in college
will be deferred from military serv
ice. Also, both young fathers and
husbands will seldom be drafted.

Dining Room
Committee Functions
With Larsen As
Chairman
The Dining Room Committee has
begun functioning with Alary Lar
sen serving as its chairman. The
purpose of this group is to act as an
intermediary between the students
and the dining room staff. At its last
meeting the committee divided in
to three parts each of which will
work with one phase of the commit
tee’s duty. 1. Service—Alice Dupre,
Linda Connelly and Cornelia Hin
es—is concerned with the efficient
service of the waiters and waitress
es. 2. Alenus—Lucy Southall, Caro
line Walker, and Brenda Lloyd—-
presents suggestions for supple
menting breakfast, dinner, and sup
per menus. 3. Alanners—Alary Lar
sen, Jane Brooks, and Courtenay
AIcDowell—attempts to obtain co
operation from the student body
on matters of courtesy toward the
waiters and waitresses, consider
ation for faculty and student host
esses, and personal appearance and
manners in the dining room.
This committee has been func
tioning for the past three years with
Aliss Richardson as its advisor. Its
only hinderance to efficiency has
been the seeming lack of support by
the student body. The Chairman
asks that any suggestion or con
structive criticism be directed to
members of the committee.
During examination week the
members of the Dining Room Com
mittee would like to remind the
student body to sign up for meals
and to be on time.
ED.’s Note: In each subsequent
issue of the Belles one of the three
divisions of the committee will
stress its function with a similar re
minder.
