I. Meats: that a non prepared
meat such as fried or baked
chicken or baked fish be nerved
as an alternative to the
scheduled meat dish. Also that a
selection of soups be served in
the regular line. There should
be greater variety in the sand
wiches served. U would be good
to offer lettuce, tomatoes, etc.
with the sandwiches. This would
permit experimentation with
unusual dishes which will ap
peal to many of the students and
give excitement to the meals.
I. Vegetables: that fresh
vegetables and fruits be served
In season and that the variety
served be increased
Breads and Desserts: more
variety in breads and desserts
is needed There is seldom any
change in the rolls served
Apparently desserts, especially
pastries, are prepared in large
volume, and often served for
several days in succession until *
they are consumed.
4. Preparation: students
complain that the food is tod
greasy This may be due to the
fact that several dishes are
deep fried. If possible,
preparation methods which .
involve less grease should be
employed. Pork chops, for

Dr. Rubins has a deep

alienated from the rest of the
states and tlie Jewish minority
being airenated from the
Christian majority. Following
in this view be claims that the
next truly great literary
movement will be that of the
black American.
