The argument that relaxing the ban would cause a severe strain on the dining rooms of some of the House to the neglect of others is beside the point, since, as the CRIMSON pointed out last year, it would be quite possible to limit the number of meals which a guest could sign for. The increase in the cost of bookkeeping would be so slight that even in a time of depression it is an insufficient reason...
