College food is now under professional investigation by Andrew S. Seiler, noted Boston caterer, national restaurant expert, and member of the Dining Halls Visiting Committee.

Seller was asked by Vice-President Reynolds a week ago to undertake a special inquiry and to make recommendations for improvement of food and its preparation. Seiler attributes the survey, to recant student furor about food, particularly as shown is the Council poll.

Long Range

But both he and Reynolds insist that the inquiry is long-range in its nature. "You must remember, " Seiler says, "that the College switched during the war to the cafeteria system, but never completely converted all its facilities to operate on this basis."

This inquiry, according to Seiler, will be much more complete than normal Visiting Committee work, which consists mainly of eating meals in various Houses.

On Thursday, he will make a tour of the kitchens and dining halls with Reynolds and William A. Heaman, manager of the University dining halls, to assess the special factors which must be considered before recommendations can be made.

"These problems like the use of dining halls for dances and the times of the food rushes, are very important in the Harvard situation," says Seller.

With this information in mind, he will make a number of specific recommendations to Reynolds and Heaman "sometime within the next few weeks." There will be no rush, he says, because there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the food.

"For the money, it's darn good food. It's just that you need to take stock now and then, especially after you make a major change in your setup," he says.
