...Mather House Council and the co-chairmen of the Dunster House Committee last night urged all residents of the two Houses to march to Leverett House for breakfast today at 8 a.m. to protest Dean Fox's decision to limit hot breakfasts to four Houses next year...
...trying to show Fox that students are not going to accept this sitting down," William S. Friedman '79, treasurer of the Mather House Council, said yesterday, adding "We're the focal point of the issue, but it isn't just us we're concerned about--we want breakfast at all 12 Houses...
Administrators were even more cavalier in their regard for input on the subject from the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life. Last year, CHUL voted 20 to 2 against the limited breakfast option. To avoid this kind of conflagration this year, Fox presented the plan to CHUL for discussion after he had made the decision, an action for which the normally-meek student-master body reprimanded him. A similar reaction seems likely from the House committees, as they receive North House's petition to reinstate hot breakfasts at all Houses. And the student population as a whole--almost half...

Theorists of the Harvard housing system have argued that such an option would erode the House system, which encourages students to eat in their Houses, or at least on campus. However, if the 14 meals were limited to lunch...
