...cynical new Quadling can be turned into an enthusiastic convert who chirps endlessly about “singles for life” (this is actually an old Mather slogan, but since they introduced partitioned rooms there during my junior year, the phrase is now really more applicable to the Quad...
Such an arrangement would ensure a quality dining experience across campus. Providing hot breakfast in both the Quad and on the River every day would help ameliorate the problem of nutritionally deficient diets suggested by the preliminary report. Students most affected by the reduction in selection—such as athletes, those with special dietary restrictions, and early risers in need of a brain boost—would enjoy an immediate increase in wellbeing...
...houses would prevent the former inefficiency cited as the primary justification for hot breakfast cuts. Since only one House in each residential area would provide heated offerings, breakfasters would consolidate, avoiding the surplus food and service that characterized the previous system. Furthermore, given the propensity for Quad residents to eat lunch on the river, this solution would reduce lunchtime waste in the Quad. Finally, the proposal is—at least conceptually—cost-neutral. Assuming costs of providing food and services for both meals are similar, replacing two lunches with two dinners should theoretically...
With seven of the nine river houses now imposing restrictions of some kind, when you don’t have time to make the 30-minute round trip back to the Quad for a meal, finding a place to eat in a dining hall that doesn’t treat non-residents like criminals can prove difficult. Although HUDS does a great job of making quick meals for students who don’t have time to eat at their dining halls as palatable as possible, no one can argue that Fly-By and bag lunches are an acceptable substitute...

For example, since I live in the Quad, when I want to eat dinner with friends who live in, say, Winthrop and Lowell, the three of us have no choice but to join the crowds in one of the view houses without restrictions...
