Our economy is on the verge of being in a reces- sion. Things do not look good. People are living too far above their means. We find that our money is buying less and less and it's taking more and more to pay for the things that are really nec- essary. Some people are going deeper and deeper in debt. Some don't sit down and budget their spending. They iust go and spend what they want and don't sit down and really figure to see if they can afford this or if they really need it. Frances Mitchell Inflation Versus Recession: Which Was It? i974 was a year that saw the worst inflation since World War Il. Prices rose by an astonishing percent. Students felt the inflation crunch in the price of gaso- line which rose from 39 to 47 cents per gallon. At the same time, however, the country's economy had every sign of recession. Employment was the worse since the depression. Over eight per- cent of the nation's workers were job- less by February. And with the end of the school year approaching, students found those once easy to get jobs were scarce. l think that economy is very unstable. I think that the American people really do not know how to react to it. We do not know whether or not we should spend our money or save it, or if there is really such a big problem.

If something isn't done about it, it's going to continue to get worse. I think more people shoul: start caring about our nation and what's happening to it. Rhonda Nesbit
