High Food Prices May Force University to Limit Servings

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Unlimited portions, long the chief claim to fame of Harvard dining halls, may soon be on the way out at the Freshman Union. Servings have already been restricted at the Business School and Graduate Center where students can take only two glasses of milk or a glass of milk and a cup of coffee.

For the present College men at the Union and at the House dining rooms will still be able to take as much milk and coffee as they can cart away. The graduate schools have no system of enforcing their new rules; they simply ask.

May Limit Portions

William A. Heaman, manager of University Dining Halls, said Tuesday that limitations on food portions may have to be imposed at the Union and the Houses if "students continue to abuse their present privileges."

College students now pay $14 a week for board. The rate was raised from $12.25 last spring in the face of increased food prices. The continued rise in the cost of food, particularly meat, has forced the University to begin the limitation of servings, Heaman said.
