Rabbi Zarchi Confronted Maria Ressa, Walked Off Stage Over Her Harvard Commencement Speech
While awaiting the gathering of Mr. Burr's commuter committee the facts involved in the present anomalous state of the Freshman commuter point the way to the only logical solution.
To say that the Freshman class is a unit and that the commuting members should participate in its social life is platitudinous and betrays a total lack of realism. Of 280 odd Freshman commuters last year only 25 were able to eat three or more meals in the Union during the entire year. Taking note of this fact the P. B. H. Committee who studied the problem said "obviously the bulk of the Freshmen commuters cannot afford the cost of the food at the Union." Dudley Hall was renovated in pursuance of this report. Why as a matter of course Freshmen living at home were not extended the facilities of Dudley it is difficult to imagine.
From the point of view of officialdom; the University has spent $40,000 in rehabilitating Dudley Hall. What theory of economics makes them limit the clientele that will make their investment a paying proposition?
