A list of suggestions on how to improve the food situation, submitted by the ex-chairman and a former member of the Lowell House Committee, has been forwarded through Housemaster Elliott Perkins '23 to Dean Bender, who turned it over yesterday to Vice-President Edward Reynolds '15.

Reynolds passed no opinion on the set of proposals but termed it a "striking" analysis and agreed with Bender and Perkins that it was well-phrased and worthy of attention. He passed it on to Andrew S. Seiler, the Boston caterer who is investigating the food problem at the request of Reynolds.

Not an Official Petition

The two men who drew up the list were John E. Carlson, Jr. '48 and Harold S. Spear '48, chairman and member respectively of the House Committee which went out of office Monday. The suggestions did not constitute an official move by the Committee. Carlson and Spear were discussing the food situation with Perkins two or three days ago and Perkins suggested they set their points down in a letter.

Perkins noted that the letter had the merit of raising specific points which might or might not be sound, but which would bear investigation. He sent the letter to Bender with a note to this effect and later received a reply from the Dean.

Both Carlson and Spear refused to comment last night on the contents of their letter. It is believed that, among other things, they petitioned for greater variety in the menu.
