On Monday, Sept. 26, the
Mercyhurst Student Government
I officially recognized the Crimi-
nal Justice Club.
This second year organization,
which is open to students of all
majors, has already started off
with a bang. Attendance and en-
thusiasm was far beyond that of
last year's club and the fun has
not even started.
Discussion, which was lead by
last year's treasurer, Jim Alton an,
covered a brief introduction of
the criminal justice club and an
explanation of its modest achieve-
ments, m.
After suggesting some ideas for
this year's agenda, the elections
for the officers were held. Alton an, L Wilson

Straub and SAC Secretary Erin
McGuinness also discussed some
of SAC's plans for the rest of the
year. "This year, especially win-

Straub said.
McGuinness said, "I think this
year is going to be unbelievable."
The group has planned activities
for the winter such as virtual real-

McGuinness and Straub agreed
that the year has been a success
thus far. "We've had a couple hit

good. Productivity increased nearly 20 percentfromthe mid-
seventies to the mid-eighties alone.
Consumption fails to match this increase in output The end
result is that overabundances are created. This drives prices
down.. Lower prices translate into decreased profits. To compen-
sate for lower profit yields, farmers have often increased produc-
tion even more. Thus the farmer is caught in a self-destructive
cycle. This cycle is perpetuated by misguided governmental
policy.
Even more mind-boggling is that in some cases farmers are
actually paid not to produce. The idea is that this will help to
curb the excess supply of goods on the market Indeed it does
and this program makes some sense when taken by itself. When
considered with the policy of subsidized research the conflict
becomes infuriating to those concerned where their tax dollars
are being spent. (Is their anyone out there who is not?)
The criteria by which subsidies are distributed are also mis-
guided. 'Unlike other assistance programs the money is not
distributed to those who need it most The money is given out in
accordance to the amount produced. Thus those who produce
more receive more support This program helps support those
large producers who need help the least and leaves the small

The invisible hand of the market has left very visible signs of
human suffering in small town America. Families who have
spent generations nurturing the land have lost everything in a few
short years.
The American public at large does nothing to bring about
change in our nation's agriculture policy. Why should they?
American consumers benefit from low food prices. However, this;:]
is short term mentality.
Low food prices are not a given. The non-financial costs of
cheap food are not immcdiatlcy observable. They are severe none^
the less.
Keep this in mind in your selections in the upcoming elections.
