 BUSINESS DECISIONS GAME: L. to R.: H. Evens, M. Weschler, S. Meyer, J. Lohman, J. Lovinger, R. Loucks, G. Underwood, C. Moushon, J. Warth, W. Koh. STANDING: Mr. Miller, M. Rittenhouse. Alphi club on sons int Iowa Wesleyan College won first in the nine-college league competing in the decision game, in which honor students in the Department of Economics and Business act as a firm. They make decisions representing business transactions in a given quarter of the firm's year every two weeks. The purpose of the Decision Game is to give economic and business students experience in the world of profit and loss. So far, Wesleyan has succeeded in attaining the largest amount of profit and the smallest amount of loss under the competitive circumstances. The group, organized by Professor Paul Miller of the Economics and Business Administration Department, operates an imaginary firm which manufactures an imaginary product and markets it. Wesleyan students who are participating in the game are: Myron Rittenhouse, president, Maurice Weschler, Carl Moushon, Harry Evans, George Elliot, William Koh, Robert Loucks, John Lohman, Edwin Reschly, Jim Warth, Galen Underwood, Stanley Meyer, John Lovingier and Dave Schneider. Wesleyan is the only college in Iowa in this competition. Decisions on the proceedings are made every two weeks throughout the six-month period which began in October. Each two-week-report on such tilings as the amount allocated for research, production, wage rates, advertising and related policy items that influence a corporation's share of the market--represents a simulated quarter of business activity.
