Interhouse Plan Goes into Effect

Free interhouse dining between Harvard and Radcliffe begins a two-month trial period this week, but most students will not have a chance to use it until the weekend.

During February and March, each house will have two meals a week when Cliffies may dine free of charge. In Adams, Leverett, Winthrop, and the Freshman Union, interhouse dining will be on Friday and Saturday evenings. Eliot, Kirkland, and Lowell chose Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons.

Two Houses, Quincy and Dunster, decided to allow interhouse on weeknights. Tuesdays and Fridays will be interhouse nights at Quincy, while Dunster chose Wednesday and Saturday nights.

In each house, the house committee decided the days for the interhouse meals. The Freshman Council set the times for the freshmen.

Wednesday at the 'Cliffe

Wednesday dinners at Radcliffe are now open free to Harvard guests, but their Radcliffe hosts must first obtain reservation tickets.

The interhouse nights at Radcliffe were originally set for Tuesdays and Thursdays, but interhouse planners feared that not enough Harvard guests would visit Radcliffe to make a balanced exchange. A group of students therefore urged Arthur D. Trottenberg '48, assistant dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for resources and planning, to extend the privileges to Wednesdays.
