...University is already alleviating one source of student grumbling by upgrading its purchasing standards on meat. The next improvement should be to free the student from the dining hall rut. Kresge and Harkness have never attempted to serve all of the students all of the time and yet they survive economically. The best program for College kitchens might be the suggested 18-meal week, or perhaps a six-day week with Sundays...
