Upperclassmen will face substantially reduced lunchtime inter house privileges at the Freshman Union beginning Monday, Lewis J. Tolleson, manager of the freshman dining hall, announced Tuesday.

A ruling restricting Union inter house lunch privileges from 11:45 a.m. to noon was made in December, 1963, but has not been enforced until now, added Tolleson.

Tolleson said that the Food, Services has to enforce the rule now because too many upperclassmen have been eating lunch at the Union. "An extra 100-150 people are jamming the food lines," he noted. The Union is serving lunch to 1200 now, as opposed to the 1050-1070 people it is accustomed to serve, Tolleson commented.

C. Graham Hurlburt Jr., director of the Food Services, reported that the Committee on Houses, consisting of the Masters and deans, had made the original decision to restrict the inter house privilege. He said that the committees felt that upperclassmen should eat at their respective Houses.

Upperclassmen who learned of the Food Services' decision last night complained that the restriction would be inconvenient for students who will have to rush back to the Houses between classes or are studying in Lamont.
