Dr.Wolfe Conducts
food Price Survey
Under the guidance of Dr.
Reinhold P. Wolff, assistant professor of economics, several students are conducting a survey on
the rise of food prices since the
pre-war period, and comparing
them to prices September, 1942.
Dr. Wolff estimates that the
rise of prices is in the neighborhood of fifty-eight per cent over
pre-war quotations.
Since the department of labor
does not submit index figures for
the Miami area, the previous University price list has become very
important in this area. Students
working on the estimate are Ed
Lewis, Harry Russell, George Miller, and Jim McCormick.
The University published its
first price list in 1941, which was
entitled "Miami Grocery Study"
and was also under the direction
of Dr. Wolff.

No Movie Frenchman, Muller Grew Goatee to Please Students
Born in Geneva, Switzerland,

Miami in 1930 on his honeymoon.
He met his wife, the granddaugh-
tre of Alexander Graham Bell,
while they were students at the
Beaux Arts school of architecture.
After a month's visit, they returned to Paris, but found that
the palm trees were too alluring
and came back to Miami a year
later.
"When Roosevelt decreed a
hank holiday, I went to Paris
again and worked for an uncle
who was an antiquarian," said
Mr. Mailer. "However, since tk*
economic situation was so had at
that time, Mrs. Franklin Harris
cabled that I might have the pod-
Won of student assistant to teach
French at the Univenity, and at
we same time, I night Uke
courses for credit toward my bachelor's degree."
Mr. Muller hhd attended two
years of college which is included
in the educational system of Switzerland and had also attended the
Beaux Arts .school in Geneva.
"I hopped on the next boat to
America where I taught French
and studied English for two years
at the University of Miami," he
said.
After graduating in 1936, Mr.
Muller spent two yean at Harvard, received his maston degree
with a major in romance philology,
and worked for a year on his doe-
tor's degree.
"Students seemed disappointed
when I arrived from France, that
I was not the proverbial Hollywood Frenchman with striped
trousers, cut-away coat, and
goatee. So to satisfy their curiosity I grew a goatee and the students begged me to shave it off.
Yon never know,-' he added:
