Council Takes 4 Food Proposals To Durant Today

On the basis of the food poll taken throughout the University yesterday, the Student Council will submit today all but the meat and milk reduction proposals to the Business Manager Aldrich Durant '02 to be put into effect at once in accordance with the preliminary negotiations.

After conferring with the Food Committee last night, Council President Thomas L. P. O'Donnell '47 expressed pleasure with the results of the poll on behalf of the Council and made the following statement:

"We have decided that, despite majority votes, milk and meat ents will not be instituted this term. Only these items which have received more than a two-thirds vote will be put into effect."

33 Percent Favor All

With an average of 33 percent favoring blanket adoption of the proposals, the House votes ran parallel to each other, while a 50 percent all-yes in the Union, where one glass of milk is the regular portion, emphasized student concern with that item elsewhere.

A different ballot at the Medical School brought out a black and white result, with 46 percent all for the plan and 33 percent all against. Only five percent voted a straight "no" in the Houses and Union.

The overall averages for the various proposals were; 1. Omission of bread at dinner, 78 percent, 2. One glass of milk per meal, 52 percent, 3. No cake with ice cream, 85 percent, 4, Reduction of meat and fish, 61 percent, 5. Desserts at dinner only, 75 percent, and 6. Substitutions for wheat cereals, 78 percent.

In the absence of meat and milk reductions, the Council's final program will save about $600 which will be turned over to the Harvard Food Relief Committee to purchase food on the Boston market for overseas shipment.
