Loren G. MacKinney '42 of Chapel Hill, N. C. and Eliot House, last night succeeded Eugene D. Keith '42 as the Chairman of the Student Council. Keith graduated at midyears and will go into the Army shortly.
The Council released a statement after the meeting in regard to the food restrictions in the Dining Halls, saying that "the Student Council feels that the present experimental system needs modification. Pending further investigation, the Council recommends that the charge be lifted on milk and other beverages."
A Food Committee has been appointed with Thomas Matters '43 as chairman and will start work immediately. Feeling that the system was experimental in nature, the Council feels that it has the right to suggest changes in the present system.
Other Officers Elected
Replacing MacKinney as Secretary was Endicott Peabody 2nd '42 of Utica, N. Y. and Eliot House, and a new member, Gabriel Jackson '42, of Mt. Vernon, N. Y. and Leverett House, to take the place left by Keith as representative of that House.
The two football stars, MacKinney and Peabody, both agreed that the food situation was unsatisfactory, but that the restriction was an attempt by the University to keep down the cost of education by maintaining the same board rate.
Warning that the investigation was not the same as that of last year, where food preparation was investigated, MacKinney stated that the function of the Committee would be merely to suggest methods of alleviating the bad points of a necessary system.
