Council Approves Foods Committee, Calendar Review

The Student Council last night set up committees to investigate University foods and possibilities for inter-semester vacations.

The group appointed Charles C. Chambers '58 of Dudley House to head the calendar revisions committee, and Theodore E. Moskowitz '58 of Lowell House in charge of the foods study.

Moskowitz's group will work together with the existing Inter-House Foods Committee, which is not responsible to the Council. The group will present a report to the Council and the student body, no later than May, on University purchasing, food preparation, and menu planning.

Chambers's committee will submit within two weeks a recommendation for lengthening either the recess between semesters or the Thanksgiving vacation, or both.

Alternative Schedule

The group will initially consider two schedules. One would cut three days from the spring reading period and add them between the fall and spring terms. The other would begin the academic year a week earlier, add three days between terms, and lengthen Thanksgiving recess to a long weekend.

In approving the committee, the Council stressed the fact that Thanksgiving and Yale weekends will coincide this fall.
