Food--

Yale "News," quality of the food is really exceptionally good," and "seconds are allowed on everything but milk and desert," but reports from Elis who have eaten in Houses would indicate that they favor the Cantabridgian edibles.

Clubs containing from 20 to 30 members from a class held a monopoly over the three upper classes at Princeton, and the average bill along Prospect Street is about $14. This sum, however, goes for dues as well as board, and the board figure alone probably amounts to about $9. The food is reported to be excellent.

In the Freshman Commons food costs $8.50 a week, and the chief complaint of the Tiger Kittens, ironically enough, is that they are rushed through their meals in "eight minutes flat as a maximum."

Dartmouth Freshmen pay just a shade more for their 21 meals than Harvard Housters do for 10, $7.56 is what the weekly tax totals in the Hanover Commons. The traditional claim of the Papooses is that the college makes a profit on that figure and uses it to makeup its deficit on the ailing Hanover Inn. "Second semester usually sees several riots precipitated by an unusually poor meal," the editor of "The Dartmouth" admits or boasts.

Upperclass Savages eat either at Thayer Hall, a college-run dining room, or in privately owned eating establishments along a Main Street. A cafeteria in Thayer costs an average of $7.70 a week, and the luxurious Colonial runs as high as $34 for a 60 meal ticket. This is hardly any lower than Harvard's system and would be higher if all the meals were not taken out in dinners and lunches.

Six main stem restaurants serve the Green Men at from $7 to $8.75 a week, and the students complain about the exorbitant prices. Five small eating clubs, run in private houses, charge from $8 to $10, but the food is "slightly better in quality."

A cooperative eating place, formed last fall, does its own purchasing and cooking and charges $4 a week. Members work an average of two hours a day.
