When CHUL considered in February 1976 a similar proposal to limit the number of Houses serving full breakfasts as a potential cost-cutting device, students and workers objected virulently to the inconvenience and loss of jobs the change would have caused. In defeating the measure by a vote of 20-2, the committee requested that the Food Services department "look into the possibility of opening the Freshman Union on weekends," but CHUL in no way indicated that the re-opening of the Union should necessitate any undesirable changes in the breakfast service offered by the Houses...
...period (when most students were busy studying for exams) enabled him to railroad substantial alterations in the housing system through a lame-duck CHUL which had rejected a similar plan in less harried times. Apart from the undemocratic way in which the decision to open the Union and reduce breakfast service was made, the change itself will result in inconveniences for both students and workers. Most upperclassmen will now have to leave the warm confines of their Houses on cold winter mornings to obtain a cooked breakfast, since their dining halls will serve only cereal, rolls and beverages...
...administrative fiat, Dean John Fox has brought about an unwanted and unnecessary change in the college dining policies. Without consulting CHUL, Dean Fox has presented most Harvard upperclassmen with an undesirable situation--in order to get much more than o.j. and coffee for breakfast, upperclassmen will have to take a hike in the mornings. Rather than being able to tumble out of bed at 9:25, stumble into breakfast at 9:29, and truck up to class at 9:55 with a group of friends in the House, upperclassmen will be obliged to negotiate the locked entrances of unfamiliar Houses...
...being taken in order to defray the increased cost of opening the Union for weekend dining, it is doubtful that such a comprehensive dining plan is consistent with the best intersts and wishes of the student body. Last year, CHUL overwhelmingly defeated a proposal to institute a continental breakfast plan in the majority of the Houses. There has also been a lack of evidence indicating that students are willing to bear increased board costs that would be necessitated by the opening of the Union on weekends...
John Kennedy used to believe that what he had learned at his father's breakfast table made him an expert in international affairs. The memories of his graduate course during the first nine months of 1961 have, unfortunately, grown too dim in Washington. The Russians sent a man into space before we did and began to test the monster nuclear weapons that nobody thought they had. Our planes in the Berlin air corridor were buzzed; the autobahns were blocked. Insurgents consumed large chunks of Laos. The Bay of Pigs adventure was a disaster. Nikita Khrushchev pounded the table...
