G. Peniston, director of subsistence. Peniston explained that from 7 to 7:35 a. m.j during th^ breakfast htiur of 7 td 8 a. m., the line is practically empty. During the next fifteen minutes there is a rush and then it begins to taper off again. At dinner both lines are fairly full from 11:15 to 11:30 a. m., then one line is usually closed un til 11:50 a. m. as there are not enough people for two lines com ing through, Peniston continued. A rush begins and two lines are used from ll:50 to 12:30, after which time one line is again ade quate. At supper which lasts from 6 to 6:16 p. m., two lines are used from 6 to 5:45, then one line is again adequate for those coming through.
