Perhaps the University cannot obtain the equipment for starting extensive training on its own.

University Hall has long argued that such practical training for a trade is incompatible with the standards of a liberal education.

Right now the four restaurants are barely scraping along on what they are able to beg, borrow, or steal. Only getting 50 or 60 per cent of what they were using, these places have tried to restrict the sale of coffee in various ways, including stopping sale of "coffee to go" and limiting people to one cup of coffee per meal.

At present, the loans are only available for concentrators in physics, chemistry, or engineering science. Upon graduation, students who have accepted these loans will be required to take jobs with the government, some in the armed forces and some in civilian life, where the administration feels that they will be most valuable. Out of their salaries from the government, they will then pay back the principal of the loan, plus 2 1/2% interest...
