r A&M Dining Halls Affected u By Rising Food Prices ry bit . as a ■opagis are dij Rising food prices often are cited by housewives, but other costs of large-scale food preparation have risen proportionately. This is the experience of J. G. Peniston, vet eran supervisor of the A&M dining - halls. Peniston pointed out actual food costs require about the same per centage of the total expenditure as they did 19 years ago. He has headed the department responsible —Ck| for feeding several thousand Ag gies for 19 years. The A&M dining hall operation, described as the largest of its type in the world, is financed completely by what students pay for board. As Peniston says, “We don’t get dime from any source except what the student pays.” Peniston said that approximately 60 per cent of each dollar goes for foodstuffs, 30 per cent goes for the cost of preparing and serving MA; BS,Si lysit BS,I eringa BS, Hj lent -Cheiti elect® petrol® »1 cki! rs in i i.-Cbi leal« gineei: ing (js fourti: ■on Go ’ (j« THE BATTALION Wednesrday, October 17, 1962 College Station, Texas Page ?< the meals and 10 per cent is for such expenses as building costs, utilities and maintenance.
