by the Senate and Executive Cabinet, the 15-{fcge, singlespaced document includes progress reports from the myriad of offices in the administrative arm as well as from class and ASSC officers.
It is probably Ihe only occasion during the year that all ASSC activities will be summarized in one document.
Reflects Confusion
But more importantly, the Steigerwalt Report reflects the confusion that has often trademarked the growing pains of the infant government during recem months.
Cary V. Duhin. who as parliamentarian of last year's Senate was instrumental in forming the new constitution, predicted before graduating that the next ' ASSC president would hold unparalleled powers.

Food Industry Seeks Grads

It is when the $22 of every $100 take-home pay spent for

lenee that would characterize senators elected under the new system, as well as their lack of familiarity with the powers and privileges implied in the constitution I Hit undeveloped bv traditions.
President Unhampered
In other words. Dubin realized that the new president would not only be the only person to be informed of all ASSC activities hut would also be in a position to set precedents in con-stftuiiona| interpretation without being hampered by tradition •
Although Steigerwalt will readily and justifiably claim that ; lack of traditions has tended to harness him in some of his programs, a glance at the six-month
employed people in Ihe United States working in Ihe fo;x1 in d us try are considered.
This is the opinion ol Dr. George L. Baker, assistant professor of marketing in the USC School of Business, who spoke on this subject before the recent California "Food Comes First” Conference at Asilomar.
Interest Important
The importance of younger, more educated people in the United States was discussed in terms of potential working members of the food industry.
"The food industry will need and want interested, young people. An education is becoming a must," Dr. Baker emphasized.

The people between the farmer and consumer are very important, Dr. Baker noted, because a fast and well-controlled method is needed for processing and distributing perishable food.
Need Middlemen
He used meat as an example. After ihe farmer has produced a steer, it must be collected with other cattle, converted to a clean carcass and then passed to the wholesaler and retailer. Here it i« hroken down to the cuts of meat that finally reach the dinner table. Since the average man doesn't want to do all this himself, middlemen are important.
"It is only through these people that consumers are able to tell the farmers how much of what to produce and when,” Dr. Baker pointed out.

is probably quite true. !n add: j tion to attempting to destroy the family unit, the communists have brought great food shortages to the country through their over-z e a i o u s five-vear plans.
Wheat Deal
This fact was recently pointed up by a $60 million cash deal made with Canada for 28 million bushels i>t wheat and 12.133.000 bushels i>i barley from the North American country.	•
However, it is doubtful that Formosa or t h e Generalissimo win ever be strong or organized enough to take over the mainland. And, even if a revolution in Red China were to overturn the present communist government, the chances of Chiang Kai-Shek assuming its command are very slim. History rarely gives men a second chance.
Confidantes Say Everything OK In Political Heist
ASSC President Bill Steigerwalt's promise of a complete investigation into the disappearance of the four Elections Code evaporated yesterday amid promises of immediate duplication of new codes.

Philosopher Sifts Myths On Coleridge
Sameul Taylor Coleridge considered himself a "member of the Platonic family." and he considered Emmanuei Kant a ‘ descendant of Aristotle.' but never | agreed with Kant's basic beliefs, said Professor Fulton H. Anderson. head of the department of Philosophy on the University of Toronto, yesterday.
Professor Anderson, answering the question, “Coleridge: Kantian or Platonistr," said that al-' though Kant provided Coleridge with impetus for his imagination. he never agreed with Ihe German philosopher's beliefs. If he agreed with any of the Kantian concepts, it was only in part and after modification, said Professor Anderson.
Reject« Kant’« Idea«
Coleridge specifically disagreed with Kant « ideas of free will, abstractions, concept« and categories. loetc and integration of the empirical. Professor Anderson sa id.
The English poet frequently criticized the philosopher for his "Aristoteliamsm” and said that there were two categories of Kantians. The two divisions were those w'ho sincerely believed and who had come to their beliefs through induction and those who

Another detriment to a continuation of the current mainland government is its attempt
to destroy the family unit, he said. "Any movement against the family as a unit is doomed to ultimate failure.”
