“Yeah, the food is cheap, hut, jgosh, look at the quality of the
food. It may be wholesome, but it sure falls short of being appetizing.”;
This gripe, common among A.&M. men gince the war sent food
prices skyrocketing, caused The Battalion to take a “cook’s tour”;

lW ;|. | ■
The first fact that was brought
to mind by the study is so obvious
that it hgrdly need be discussed.
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.;
