Jean Mayer, professor of Nutrition, expresses anger at student opposition to meatless days, and orders the Food Services Department to serve turkey tetrazzini every day for a month, "to break them." Half a million teamsters and Mayer are laid off. Bok announces that Sen. Peter I. Dominick (R-Colo.), "an expert on Third World nutrition," will fill Mayer's chair...
...single glass of juice to ease their fast. At the University of Notre Dame, 1,100 people sit down to a dinner of rice and tea-and donate more than $1,500 to the hungry. In Needham, Mass., an ecumenical group of 50 families commit themselves to eating three meatless meals together each week for six months...
...usually a complete fast but a general cutback in the amount of food eaten. The Union of American Hebrew Congregations will launch an antihunger campaign this month that includes, among other things, a recommendation for "un-dinners," complete with programs and speakers but no food.

No plan can do that, short...

Even if every American turned vegetarian tomorrow, there is no reason to believe that the extra grain made available would reach the people who need it most. Before that can happen, there must be a fundamental change in the theory and practice of food aid programs, both in the United States and in other rich countries. And judging by Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz's performance at the World Food Conference in Rome two weeks ago, that change may be a long...
