in error
Mr.. Miller said the question
OF what to charge outside students
has been one for debate for some

Chairman Collins wanted TO know
how the supplies for the college are
handled He said ne has heard
complaint that local dealers are not
given proper consideration in the
awarding OF the contracts for sup

used come from Philadelphia houses.
