Frazier Street SPEEDY DELIVERY Half Servings for Girls Called impractical-Proff The idea of serving half portions to coeds at meal times if they want them is not really practical, Robert C. Proffitt, director of food service, said yesterday in commenting on the idea sugested by the Nit tany Area Council. A coed can control the size of her serving to an extent by ask ing, for example, that potatoes be left off or by taking no des sert, but portions cannot be com pletely tailored to the individual, Proffitt said. Such action would slow up the lines even more, he said. As long as there are second helpings available, there doesn't seem to be any need to cut down on the women's portions in order to insure enough food for each meal, Proffitt said. Besides, many coeds go back for seconds themselves, he added. Nor will the elimination of waste by offering half portions affect the cost of food service or the room and board fee, Proffitt said.

For example, pies were cut in six pieces for men and seven pieces for women. But after a study of community feeding operations in Waring Dining Halls two years ago, lt was found a standard portion was best for serving in community dining halls, Proffitt said.
