A resolution that Joseph F. Savage Jr. '78, Quincy House CHUL representative, has sponsored would ask that part of the meals tax money be used to fund hot breakfasts in all Houses during the January exam period.
"I think they'll have a problem of overcrowding at the hot breakfast Houses during exams. A lot of people who don't normally eat breakfast do eat breakfast when they have an exam," Savage said yesterday.
Figures that Frank J. Weissbecker, director of Food Services, submitted to CHUL show that the cost of providing meals varies widely among the Houses and the Union.
The average meal prepared at the Union costs only about $1.90 to produce, while meals served at Quincy House cost $2.71.
Weissbecker said Friday the variation is largely a function of the number of students a dining hall serves.
The figures also show that the average student on board consumes only two-thirds of the meals Food Services provides.
On average students eat about half the breakfasts and approximately 80 per cent of the lunches and dinners to which the board contract entitles them
