To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
In order to carry out the principles of my religious faith, which is Hedonism, I am obliged to observe certain distary restrictions. For example, my religion requires me to cat filet mignon and devil's food cake with fudge frosting on Friday; to consume cocktails before and after each evening meal, and to abstain entirely from certain uninteresting foods, such as fish.
I am required by the College to pay for my board at the House dining room, and yet no effort is made by the College to provide board which I can with a clear conscience ingest. Yet at the same time every facility is provided for the benefit of the followers of certain other sects who observe Lenten restrictions on diet.
