Hyder discussed the OPA and

j urged cooperation with local ra-

"Price-fixing is the American
way of doing things," Hyder said,
pointing out that control under
! "PA is democratic, with scarce
itoods distributed where they are
necessary. "We are not sacrlflc-
i ing," he stated, "when it is giving
to the war effort."
Hyder was introduced by Dr.
R. L. Conrod, a member of the
faculty committee which studied
and planned the week-long pro-
gram for coordination of the price
control and rationing study with
classroom instruction. Conrod urg-
ed at the close of the meeting that
the student body and faculty men-
tally "swear themselves in" the

shortages.
Concluding the program, Presi-
