To arrive at the answer of this question would take some time, but fortunately the Principles of Economics classes and the Economic Theory class have al ready answered it for you. They conducted a recent survey un der the guiding help of Sister Mary Eloise. Each economic student was to interview a certain number of other students and then average the figures she was given. Eighty-five students were asked how much they spend on various items and all the answers were then totaled. They figured the cost on the basis of 16 weeks of classes including exam weeks and excluding holidays. This comes to 256 class hours in a 16-hour schedule. On an average the Mundelein col legiate spends 250 for tuition, 40 for lunch, 40 for transportation, 80 for clothes, 40 for books and school supplies and 65 for other expenses total expenses per semester 515.
