Poll shows University Backs Wheat Conservation Plan by 2-1 Majority

Two thousand three hundred University students yesterday voted two to one to delete broad from on meal a day, to forego pie on day per week, and to cut wheat cereals from their breakfasts three days out of seven.

Action on the poll results will not be taken by the Student Council until Monday evening, John K. Lally '49, chairman of the Food Committee disclosed, Alternatives open to the Council are:

(1) To suggest that the plan to put in immediate effect, or

(2) To decide that the minority vote is sufficiently large to prevent projected curbing of wheat consumption in dining halls.

Final decision rests with the University. Vice-president Reynolds and Business Manager Aldrich, Durant '02 have already signified that they will cut down the amount of wheat served if the results indicate sufficient student support.

Complain of Food Quality

Random samplings of comments made by both graduate and College students reveal that they feel the lack of skillful cooking makes food generally unpalatable. That improvements in quality would prevent continued food waste is the consensus.

All comments will be read and classified over the weekend. Reynolds will be informed of the protests made concerning food quality, Lally said. He emphasized that if the plan is put into operation, the missing wheat products will be replaced in the menu by larger quantities of other foods.

No profit will be made by the College on whet skimping, Lally disclosed, since the money saved will be used to purchase substitutes. Wheat saved will reach Europe indirectly. If it is not bought by the University, it will be released for Government purchase.
