In Response to “Harris: End the Early Bird Special!”

To the Editor:

I just finished reading an article written by Julia Cristofano regarding the Harris dining hall as well as athletic meal Vouchers, and it is the latter subject that I take issue with; Ms. Cristofano writes that the only things to eat at The Snack Shop are day-old grapes, Pizzas & ice cream (only pizza is included in a meal voucher).  Obviously Ms. Cristofano has not researched her story (or the meal voucher part of it anyway) or she would be aware that with a meal voucher one is entitled to a choice of a (whole) two topping pizza, or a grinder, or a sandwich/burger, or a wrap of choice, or an egg sandwich or a choice of a chef or chicken Caesar salad. Along with these choices the voucher holder is also entitled to a piece of fruit, two fresh baked cookies or a brownie, fries, and a yogurt. Therefore if a voucher holder chooses wisely the meal can be quite healthy, contrary to whatever the uninformed Ms. Cristofano would have us believe.
