Whatever the experiences of the past, this much is certain: there i$ a definite need for a change ip the present methods of serving food, and ’in the quality of the food. Far frohi denying the existence of this neqd fop change, J. G. Peri- iston, chief of Subsistence at A&M, actually emphasized the fact that the present food situation is not what it had been in the past or could be ih the future. j “The caliber of the food has de- creased sihee the beginning of the war,” Pedi^tori said. VThere can be no doubt of that. The breakfast menu in the Cadet Corps is the oiie that has suffered the most in that bacon and pork products are no longer served as frequently as for merly.” \ ' The reason for these conditions was described by Peniston as <lpo to “rising prices." “The drop in the quality of the food is dirfectly at tributable to the tremendous rise'in prices with which we are faced,” Peniston said.; As for the need for a change NAVARRO COUNTY CLUB 7:30 p. m., Thursday," Acatiemic. !
