Vets Challenge Slop Shop Prices With Boycott; Ashe Answers
Proposal of the Veterans associa tion to boycott the slop shop on the Main Campus over price issues, resulted in today's statement from Dr. Bowman F. Ashe, president, that an immediate study of the problem will be made.
The slop shop is a service station for the purpose of serving students. The University will examine costs and income and publish that information,” he explained, and added, “if there are any profits, they should be used for the benefit of the student in the form, for example, of additional furniture for recreational rooms.”
Boycott of the slop shop was voted at the Veterans association rally last Tuesday night in the tennis stadium.
Before the largest turn-out of the year, Ted Wayne, president of the association, reported on the comparison of the food prices that exist in other schools in the Miami area. It was explained that University prices arc higher. After considerable discussion, the boycott proposal was made and accepted.
At the same meeting, it wras sug-K- ted that the Veterans’ association disband and merge with the American's Veterans committee, a national organization.
Entertainment for the rally was provided by the “Music Modems, a 14 piece band composed of students of the University.
O’Brien Urges Frosh To Follow Traditions, Create Precedents
Urging that freshmen lose their indifferent attitude, wear their dinks, and take the initiative to create a precedent for the classes of the future, newly elected class president Mike O’Brien made his first appeal to the freshmen class in a letter to the Hurricane Monday.
O’Brien requested that every freshman assist in making the freshman year here at the University “one of the highlights of our lives by putting something into it; so that we may get everything we should out of it. Sitting back with the don't-give-a-damn attitude will not net results.”
O'Brien, realizing that veterans who vhile in the service spent much of tl eir time in waiting lines are now doing the same here waiting to get looks, to register, and to eat, sa?s that only by getting together as a unit can we better the disal-lusionments of college life that we have so far encountered.
In asking that all freshmen wear their dinks, President O’Brien says that doing so “is more than just wearing a little green cap; it’s no* silly it merely shows you are interested in your class.”
New freshmen officers will be presented at today’s pep rally on the main campus at 11:30 a.m.
