Economic Structure
StrongJohn Clark
Our economic structure today is exceedingly strong.
This was the opinion expressed Wednesday by Dr. John
D. Clark, member of President Truman's Council of Eco
nomic Advisors, at a convocation in the Union ballroom.
Formerly dean of the University of Nebraska College
of Business Administration, Dr. Clark emphasized that
there is a possibility of the eco- r "
nomic situation moving either
way, either to inflation or to de
pression. The topic of his speech
was "The Business Outlook."
"THE KEY to whether there
will be deflation or not, in my
opinion," said Dr. Clark, "lies in
the demand for wage increases
by labor."
Pointing out that labor workers
have an economic advantage,
Clark emphasized that government
should be given the power to reg
ulate wage increases asked by this
group.
"These wage increases flow thru
our economy, raising the cost of
production, the cost of the prod
ucts and consequently result in
higher prices," Clark st3tcd.
THE PURPOSE of government
regulations on business and labor
is to curb economic conditions at
prosperity level, and thus to make
use of all resources to promote
free enterprise, Clark said.
"If this is a wise and prudent
policy, it is so because of a close
scrutiny of the economic situa
tion." Clark said, relerting to the
Ftudies made by the President's
Council of Economic Advisors.
The nui Dose of the Council is
to report on economic conditions
and to assist the president in pre
paring his annual economic re
port. In short, the council makes
an economic forecast.
NONE OF the ordinary tools of
business forecast are used by the
council, Clark explained, such as
theories of the Lusines cycle, in
dexes, the quantity expansion of
money and the increases in the
velocity and amount of money.
There is never a time when all
members of the Council agree on
these theories, he said.
"One thing that the council has
agreed upon in its last eight re
ports, although popular business
outlooks have not once agreed
with it, is that the postwar boom
is not over. Business will prob
ably continue to expand," the
economist said.
FOUR CHANGES were forecast
for 1H spring by Claik:
(1) An end to the treasury sur-

the dairy research station at Pal
merston North, New Zealand.
The New Zealander said he

States and the manufacturing of

All groups planning to partici

Marcia Tepperman, chairman.
All groups taking part in the
Ivy Day sing will be allowed two
consultations with faculty mem

plus. The treasury will begin pay
ing out more than it is taking in
taxes.
(2) Growth of the demand, lo
cally and otherwise, for govern
ment services, including national
defense.
(3) Increased ra;es of railroads,
etc., which will increase costs of
production.
(4) Wage increases demanded
by labor.
"An ecouracini? factor of the
last three months when business
was supposed to be going bad is
that there have been more em
ployed persons than during any
other peacetime period," Clark
said. "There has actually been a
drop in unemployed persons in
the last three months."
THIS, CLARK pointed out, is
further indication that the busi
ness situation does not depend on
one indication or another, but it
deepnds on the interaction of all
the economic ford's.
"The policies of government
commonly known as the New Deal
have been the stabilizing factors
in recent years, keeping a severe
repression from occuring after
the war," Clark said. "It is in
teresting that the well-being of ;
business men is now dependent

Budget Raise
Needed for
GI Decrease
A decrease in the number of ex
GI students has been given by the
University as a reason for its pro
posed budget increase.
The Veterans Administration,
since the first ex-GI's came to the
campus, has been paying out-of-state
tuition, which does not apply
to non-veteran students.
THIS DIFFERENCE in student
fee income will affect the Univer
sity revenue greatly in the next
biennium. From 1947 to 1949, vet
erans paid 3 million dollars in stu
dent fees. Non-veteran students
paid one million dollars during
that period, a total of four million
dollars.
During the 1949-51 biennium, it
Is estimated that veterans will
pay $1,200,000 in student fees.
Non-vet fees will increase to $2,
200,000. These figures total $3,
400,000, an estimated loss of $600,
000 in student fee income.
MUCH OF THE expansion of
the University teaching staff and
purchase of equipment, particular
ly for the 1946-47 school year, was
financed from student fee income.
Most of the students during that
time were World War II veterans.
The University has asked the leg
islature to replace the decline in
student fee income with state tax
funds.
Student fees at the University
have been raised twice totaling
20 per cent to meet increased op
erating costs. The University, in
attempting to keep the quality
and quantity of its teachers the
same, has stated that enrollments
will not decline sufficiently to ma
terially reduce the teaching staff.
