Plans To Raise Prices

Under current plans, Food
Services will make up
differences after the $939,000
bond has been floated to the
public by raising the Contract
ticket price about four dollars
if current popularity trends
continue. Yet many fear the
University would be forced to
make Contract mandatory to
meet financial commitments if
patronage waned.

If popularity dropped,
"Food Services would scream
for help, "Director Bernard C.
Fontana asserted. "Just how
the University would provide
that help I don't know, but we
do know that the bonds will
have to be paid. The most
obvious solution to me would
be to make a compulsory
"board" plan which the
students don't want, and I
don't want."
