They include: • steak every other week • no ice cream at lunch • pies at dinner three times per week • no meat at breakfast • serve brunch with both breakfast and lunch foods on Saturday and Sunday in place of both breakfast and lunch. The 5 per cent increase is a result of a projected 10 per cent increase in labor and a 10-12 The University is currently seeking ways to avoid increasing student board rates by per cent increase in food costs.
