Never, I believe, has anyone come to the aid of that branch of the school system and defended its record. In the interest of better sportmanstiip, and in all fairness, the following letter is published. Dfar Sir: I’m getting pretty tired of .hear ing people gripe about the mess hall. We are always hearing some thing said detrimental to the eat ing establishment, and it just suf fers in silence. By, Gad, it’s about time someone came to its assistance. And I in tend to be the one. 1 I One of the main charges against the mess hall is the mopotony of the food. “Roast beef, beef stew, and meat loaf,” they say. To show- how wrong they arc: just yesterday we were served chili and beans at Sbisa. When the veteran subsistence checks were raised ten dollars re cently, many said the piess hall would raise food priced to con sume the increase. History proves how wrong they were! Sneak Preview Yes, food prices at Sbisa have gone up some. Roughly everything has- increased only one or two cents, which means an approximate fivc-cent increase per meal, - 15 cents per day, or about $5 a month. This increase is only half of the government raise. Absorb the whole ten dollars? The very idea is ridiculous. Superfluous help, you say? I consider the accusation an insult to the integrity of the mess hall administration. Never! has any one “organization been so conscious of efficiency. Why just recently they did away with half pf their check ers.'(They used to have two men on each adding machine—one to punch the keys, and one to pulfthe lever.) By gosh, I’m a fervent fan of the mess hall, and I intend to eat all my meals, there. I think they put out food of good quality—just like Ma used to make." ' Well, I guesls I had better go— it’s nearly chow time. Sincerely,. n T. J. B. P. S.
