WANT oNLYTwo MEALS A DAY.
Students in the Missouri state University
Petition the Faculty to Eliminate
the Noon Meal

Columbia, Mo-. Jan. 1S.-At mass
meeting here Saturday night the stu
dents of the University Of Missouri PEE
titioned the faculty to be allowed to
eat only two meals a day instead of
three. The petition stated that ex-
periments recently conducted by six
of the dormitory students had proved
that by eating only two meals daily a
student is in better health and spirits
and better prepared for hard mental
work. The six students maintain that
by reducing their daily ration to two
meals they found that they not only
cpnprehended their studies more
clearly, but had less difficulty in COM
hitting them to memory. 1t was dem
onstrated that luncheon was the least
essential, and the petition requests
that the noon meal be eliminated.
