Says Dr. Garis
by Roger Darbonne
Businessmen can make a mistake in trying to take advantage of the removal of price controls, according to Roy L. Garis, Professor of Economics.
He said that the absence of controls tempts a raise in retail prices, but that the businessmen who do raise their prices may not have any buyers.
Supply and demand are beginning to become equalized, Garis said, and consumers will not buy a product unless the price is lower or the same as prices are now.
Shortages are disappearing and people are shopping around for more purchasing power. Garis j said that competition will become an important factor in selling I since OPA price controls have been removed on most products.
Sound Policy
I>r. Garis is generally pleased with the removal of controls. “Price controls have lived their usefulness,” he said.
He thinks the Eisenhower administration is adopting a sound policy toward price controls. Prices are becoming firm and coming down snce supply and demand are equalizing. He mentioned that inventories are too large to let the businessmen raise prices freely.
Actually, “controls were an impediment to our price scales,” he continued. He said that prices may rise a little at first but that they will come down or remain as they are when the sellers find competition a controlling factor in sales.
Prices May Rise
In some cases prices may rise he said, because the ceiling prices were too low, or there may be a shortage in some field, but he said that production is increasing so the shortages should be shortlived.
Dr. Garis expressed the belief that rents should remain the same ir. the Los Angeles area and should not change elsewhere, except in boom areas. He said that the government has left controls on strategic products and areas. Dr. Garis said controls should be employed where controls are necessary.
Prices now generally are below ceilings set by the OPA so why should they rise, he asked. Retail prices are the on)y ones affected by price controls, he explained. Farm urices and raw material prices are acted upon by parity policies and not by price controls.
Sees No Change
Dr. Garis said he can see no lasting change in consumer prices. Businessmen will be disappointed if they expect high selling prices. As an example, he told of the price of bacon i/i his neighborhood grocery.
He said that although roast beef and other meats went down, the day after price controls on bacon were removed, thc price of bacon went up. His grocer received plenty of gaff although the rise was not his grocer’s fault. “However, the bacon will come down in a little while,” he concluded.

SC Music Croup To Perform
The SC chamber music group, under the direction of William Schaefer, director of the University concert band, will perform Feb. 22 at 8:15 p.m. celebrating Brotherhood week and the Jewish Music festival at the Wilshire Ebell theater.
Tommy Trojan suffered his first prank of the semester Thursday evening when his sword was wrenched from his trojan grip.
Students last saw the bronze warrior’s sword late Thursday afternoon. The weapon was missing Friday morning.
Anthony D. Lazzaro, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said that the sword’s loss wras “news to me” when the DT inquired of the disappearance. He said he would ask cooperation for the return of the sword, but if the sword was not returned, then a new one would be ordered.
Lazarro said the loss was not an important one. Tommy loses his sword several times a year, he said. He couldn’t remember how many times the sword had been removed this year.
Apparently the average student did not notice Tommy’s loss since most of those quizzed did not know the sword was gone.
Book Mart Cash Burning Holes
Even though many students have replied to the cash call at the Trojan Book Mart, Trovets President Bob Hallberg still has $125 waiting for students whose books have been sold.
Hallberg said 83 books were sold for students by the Mart and that all the money grossed from the .books goes back to the students.
“But so far,” he said, "the cash has been burning a hole in my pocket.”
Hallberg added that one third of the 800 books given to the Mart to sell have been sold.
Slide rules, drawing sets, brief cases, desk lamps, typewriters, and assorted school supplies are also for sale at the Book Mart, he announced.
Hallberg suggested that Trovet members pay their spring dues. He said new members could join the organization at the Mart.
The Trovets Book Mart is located in the information building and is open from 9 to 1 daily.

Experimental “closed - circuit” programs are now being produced at SC's channel 28 educational television station in the Hancock foundation as preparation for full-scale telecasting in March.
When the station, which is believed to be the first full-fledged educational television outlet in the United States, goes on the air, it will reach an estimated 5 million persons in southern California.
Most of the television sets here are not equipped to receive channel 28. A “tuning strip” which will convert sets to the ultra-high frequency will be available for about $15.
Three Types Planned
Telecasts from the educational station will be of three main types. Special educational features will be telecast to school and college classrooms; adult education programs such as those now conducted in school buildings at night will be put on the air; and community service programs such as news broadcasts and health information are planned.
About 40 persons will staff the station, w hich is being headed by William Sener, head of the telecommunications department.
Joint Control
Although SC Is the site of the TV station and is connected with the outlet through its application to the Federal Communiactions commission, the university will not have any special control over the station.
Public school systems and colleges and universities in the area will share in forming the station's operational policy.
Channel 28 will not compete with commercial television. It does plan to work closely with commercial TV to develop educa-

tional programs suitable for use on the regular stations, said George M. Wolfe, commercial television consultant who is organizing channel 28.
