Dining Halls Offer Soybean Omelettes

The program originated in response to requests from students interested in meatless diets, Kay S. Lacoss, staff dietician for the Food Services, said last night.

"We aren't serving the soybean dishes with every meal, and when they are on the menu, not very many students appear to be taking them," a dining hall staff member at the Freshman Union said yesterday.
