...dietary repercussions of the new breakfast arrangement, including a decrease in protein options that could create nutritional deficiencies. Additionally, the UC provided potential suggestions for administrative changes to dining options, such as closing two Quad houses at lunch time, in exchange for opening one Quad and one river house for hot breakfast each day. The survey data and suggestions will become the foundation for discussion at the next Committee on Student Life meeting this Thursday...
Although the UC’s report is only a small, preliminary step forward, their suggestions for dining reform are no less sensible. We strongly support the proposal to open one Quad and one river house for hot breakfast and close two Quad houses for lunch...
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...
...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 have little impact on the HUDS...

The dining hall is a central place in any house’s life, especially at meal times, so conveniently located river houses have been trying for years to keep outsiders out, resorting to gongs, no-pants dinners, and the more conventional inter-house dining restrictions. However, if dining restrictions were made with the realities of the lives of Harvard students in mind, they could be a lot more efficient, preventing overcrowding...
