Harkness Report To Ask Changes

A restaurant management firm's forth-coming report on the Harkness Commons Dining Hall will propose major policy changes, Robert H. Stewart 3G, chairman of the Graduate Student Council's Harkness Study Committee, stated yesterday.

During the two weeks he spent in Cambridge, the firm's consultant visited both Harkness and various restaurants in the Square, comparing cost and quality. Lack of choice and the necessity of buying full meals at Harkness were the major faults he uncovered, according to Stewart. Since Harkness uses a higher quality of food and must pay union wages, its prices are not unreasonable, it was found.

Cafeteria operation with a wide selection of food will be included in the recommendations, Stewart said. "Some days if you know one item on the menu, you can guess the whole meal," he added. "This survey will answer many questions that have come up in the past," remarked Carle T. Tucker, Director of the Dining Hall Department.
