Dockson, dean of the School of Business Administration. declared at a recent Town Hall luncheon. “Because of unemployment, we are operating well below cui output potential and. as a consequence, are losing billions of dollars in sales, wages and profits,” he explained. Dr. Dockson warned that while «'-'.ployment is expected to remain high, further in-crepses in the labor force will lead lo an increase in unem-F.oymenl as well. Hn noted that the Kennedy administration has attempted to solve the economy problem by increasing government spending and activity. High Forecasts This solution, he said, in spite of highly optimistic forecasts, has proved unsuccessful and has not generated sufficient demand to reduce the unemployment rate. On the overall picture, how-American business currently is operating at the highest level in its history, the dean said. “The apparent sluggishness of the first few months is due primarily to a reduction in inventory accumulation,” he explained. "Increased spending by consumers and government at all levels will bring about offsetting forces *hat should result in a rise of total business activity of 3 to 4 per cent for the year as a whole.” Stimulate Economy But the critical question, he maintained is what can be done to stimulate Ihe economy to the point where it is operating close to its potential. “A reduction in taxes is the only alternative available for immediate action if we are to take up the gap between our actual output and our potential.” Dr. Dockson said. "However, in the long run, it is imperative that the government pursue additional policies conducive to economic pro-g ess.” he concluded. New business incentives to expand exports and simplification of anti-trust laws are part of Dr. Dockson’s plan to put new life into the United States economv. above the all-men’s average, Moss said.

They crammed 2,800 hours of cleaning, raking, painting and repairing into the period. Dave Hepburn and Neal Sal-isian, co-chairmen of the IFC Help Day, expressed satisfaction with its results. "As far as I know, our Help Day is the only one of its kind carried out by a major university,” Hepkum said. “We had enough pledges to really put across a large pro-— our largest — this year,” he continued. “Everyone from the IFC adviser, Jess Hill Jr., to the coordinators, and on down to the pledges themselves, worked hard to make the program a success.” Chimes Ring For Belles Sophomore, junior and senior women transfers have been invited to attend Chimes’ first meeting of the semester today at 4 at the Delta Gamma house, 639 W. 28th St., President Norvene Foster announced yesterday.
