Council Restores Group Examining College Victuals

Revival of last year's Inter-House Food Committee appeared imminent yesterday as a Student Council sub-group investigating dining conditions decided to undertake a survey of the Union and House cafeterias.

The investigation will be undertaken, according to Council member John K. Lally '49, as a result of protests against the quality and preparation of food emanating from the central House kitchen. Adams and Dunster Houses, will special Kitchens, are considered separately.

The Inter-House Committee will be formed to aid the Council group in dealing with food and dining hall problems insofar as they concern only a particular House.

Three-Pronged Attack

Three immediate activities were on the agenda for the Council investigation. One was a survey of wages paid to dining hall workers, their relations to those offered by local competitors in the labor mart, and the rate of turnover of labor in College cafeterias.

The other two aims of the survey will be to consider the alleged superiority of certain House dining halls and the methods employed in preparing the food.

Meanwhile, the Council's program to back the Luckman conservation plan was in as much of a state of flux as the national program itself. Some committee members felt that meet and policy had been removed from menns to an extent well beyond that needed for conservation purpose.
