Biting the Bullet

At least three Winthrop House residents had an unpleasant surprise at dinner Tuesday night, when they discovered buckshot in their meat.

Robert Davis, manager of Winthrop dining hall, said yesterday that he learned of the situation when a student presented him with a small metal pellet found in the pot roast, which was the main course for the evening.

Davis said he did not know where the buckshot came from, but that the Purchasing Department will conduct an investigation in an attempt to prevent any future occurrences of this type.
