In Indonesia

It seems, too, that some Universities take eating very seriously —"The University of Indonesia's Bogor division is completing preparations for a nutrition survey and experiment which will be carried out this year in co-operation with the Nutrition Institute in Bogor. Some 1500 students are enrolled in the Agricultural and Veterinary Departments located at Bogor.

"The survey and experiment will be condutced within a group consisting of 10 per cent. of the student body, and will continue over a period of months. One half of the control group will receive an enriched diet while the other will continue to eat food which is usually prepared by hostel cafeterias. While the experiment is being conducted, data will be collected at intervals on the students' weight and general health. The results of the experiment are expected to lead to practically feasible recommendations for changes in the present diet of students, whether they eat in hostels or in restaurants. The Committee hopes that the study will help convince dormitory and hostel cafeteria authorities of the need to plan menus more carefully in order to provide a more balanced diet within the financial limitations of student's means and university resources."
