Council Slates Revised Food Economy Poll

Eight Other Topics Include NSA Link

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Food conservation and the National Student Association received top priority as the Student Council worked through a nine-point agenda at its regular weekly meeting last night.

The food-saving poll, revamped by John K. Lally '49 after the Council threw it out last week as "not being up to our standards," was approved and slated for distribution the first of next week in the College dining halls, at the Business School, and at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

One-day-per-week elimination of bread, cereals, pies, or any combination of these three to save wheat will be put to University students in the new "sample reaction" poll.

Neglected Statement

President Edric A. Weld '48 said after the meeting that the Council had neglected to discuss the statement Sunday by the University Administrative Vice-president Edward Reynolds '15 that he would reject any scheme to impose involuntary saving on the entire student body by the use of majority rule.

Reynolds declared that any proposal to save food could involve only voluntary savings by students, as the Dining Halls Department would not restrict the food it serves.

With a final College vote of 1957 for and 575 against membership in NSA, the Council voted to notify national headquarters at Madison, Wisconsin, of affiliation and appropriated 241 dollars for dues.

Recommendation for recognition of the Harvard Photographic Society, scheduling weekly discussion of Council problems over WHRV, sending the parking proposal to the Corporation's meeting next Monday, scholarships, student finances, ballot procedure, and a future Council activities report were also considered at the gathering.
