Food Management Studied,
After Big Weakness Glares
A member of the Student Senate sat-in this morning on
a meal-planning session for college dining halls. The senator,
acting on Senate recommendations, was to make suggestions
for more random menus and less repition of identical dishes.
Anyone who has ever eaten regularly in the two dining
halls will admit that more varied menus would be desirable.
We hope action on such a recommendation will produce favor
able results, but The Battalion feels a more inherent problem
was brought to light in last Thursday’s Senate meeting dur
ing discussions of dining hall service.
A senator asked Food Manager John G. Peniston why ; ;
more milk was served during the night meal than for break
fast. Peniston replied that a previous study by the student ,
body had resulted in a recommendation that two bottles of
milk be served at night, and only one at breakfast.
This particular senator and most other members of the'
student governing body were not aware of this previous
action and were surprised to hear that a previous study had
been made.
This mere exchange of ideas, on a relatively non-im-J
portant problem, threw a completely new light on the dis
cussions—there had been a complete breakdown of communi-J
cations between the two factions. The Senate, if not also
the dining halls, was striving to correct an “evil” about!
which it didn’t know the cause.
Needless to say, considerable time and effort had been!
lost because of little knowledge of the situation. The blame!
cannot really be lumped on any one person or group, but a|
lesson was presented that can prove profitable almost everyf
day for the rest of the school year.

Editor,
Thet, Battalion:
1/ would like to take this oppor
tunity to thank the civilian stu-
delnts tor all the work they did
or, i this year’s bonfire. With time
Weing a big factor as it was,
e ,ivery Aggie was needed to build
•!the world’s largest bonfire, and
(without your help it would not
• have been the success that it was.
Your willingness to help demon
strated the “Fightin’ Texas Ag
gie Spirit” that exists among the
students here. I know the bonfire
truly symbolized the undying
flame of love every Aggie has
for his school, as well as the
burning desire to beat TU. I am
grateful for all the work you did
to make this possible.
