...ignorance, partly the result of a wilful misrepresentation of economic problems, in the phrase "keeping business booming." We have in our midst the petty business man and the many people who know no better, who profess and carefully maintain the principle of "business as usual." "Money must be kept in circulation. Industries of every kind must be maintained to their fullest capacity." What could be more absurd or harmful to the interests of our cause? We have in our country a definite available supply of goods. We have a definite amount of labor, already diminished by the draft, which...
...added to the library from time to time, fines will be imposed upon all students who keep books more than a week. The money from fines will be used exclusively for the purchase of new books. A record of each student's use of the library is to be kept in order that the Military Office may have another method by which to ascertain the names of those who are really interested in the activities of the University...
...they are all for small sums--should realize the responsibility they incurred to make them good within reasonable time. It would mean a good deal of extra work to organize another committee to chase up these overdue contributions. Moreover, the University Y. M. C.

...England is either directly or indirectly furnishing valuable aid to the Government in its military preparedness. This aid is essential, for the Germans are not through with attempting to sink transports.

The difference between the amount of coal necessary to heat the buildings used for military purposes and the entire college is so slight as to make its saving negligible. The radio schools, the aero schools, the engineering schools and the R. O. T. C. must be continued...
...institutions can, of course, be closed, and the students, dismissed. But unless this is done for a considerable length of this the saving would be slight. The work for the Government must be continued, and that involves keeping open laboratories and libraries, the plant must be kept from destruction; the students must live somewhere and dormitories are approximately as cheap a method of keeping them warm as could be found. Moreover, it has been calculated, that the cost in rule of having the students travel to their homes would equal that of keeping them warm in college dormitories...
