In winding up its work for the year, the Unfair Practices Committee of the Student Council reported that the strained relations existing between undergraduates and various valeteria services have been the fault, not only of the valeterias concerned, but also of the student body.

The Committee, whose purpose is to improve the relations between customer and business firm, has looked at both sides of the case. Complaints of unfair business practices employed by valeterias are counterbalanced by the attitude of many students toward the valeterias, for many have defaulted payment of their bills and left large accounts still outstanding.

Investigation proved that valeteria services have been plagued by the manpower shortage as well as other industries, while students have complained that the valeterias have failed to fulfill their contracts in many ways.

In attempting to improve relations between valeterias and students, the Council has asked that pressing contracts be made more definite than they have heretofore, thereby eliminating any possible misrepresentation which might, inadvertantly, creep in. Valeterias have promised to make an honest effort to emeliorate the relations with the undergraduate body.
