...resulting savings to fund extended dinner hours. Finally, the HUDS directors will figure out the cost of a “pantry option,” as the subcommittee called a last scenario. This would involve keeping a section of every house kitchen open until 8 p.m. for sandwiches, salad, and soup. “We want to make sure students will be comfortable with whatever the tradeoffs are,” said Aaron D.
