Colin MacLaurin, spring vacation (March 24-31). Director of General Services, disclosed the change-over plans to The Tech early Sunday. Baker House Chairman, H. Paul Zeiger '58, informed of the disclosure, called it "a great thing." He said, "I very much doubt whether there will be any more boycotts now. We plan to give Stouffer's the utmost co-operation." Included in the change-over will be the installation of a Stouffer dietitian and the assumption of control of food purchases by the firm. Mr. Robert Wheeler, presently the top-ranking Stouffer representative in Morss Hall, will also direct the Baker House dining operation. Acquisition of the dietitian was the chief factor which delayed Stouffer's entry into Baker House, according to Mr. MacLaurin. At the beginning of this term, it was felt that a qualified dietitian could not be found before the end of the term.
