Food Impounded by Executive

Food Impounded by Executive

Food to be sold to students in the Cafeteria has been left outside the Student Union Building all night next to open rubbish tins.

On 24 February, the Executive impounded a delivery of buns, doughnuts and similar items which had been left outside the Building.

At an Executive meeting in the evening of the 24th, the following motions were passed:

That the Executive notes that it has this night seen food which has been delivered outside the kitchens of the Sub; that the food has been left, unattended, on the ground in trays insufficiently covered and next to open rubbish tins full of refuse and swill.

That the Association take all possible steps to see that the food viewed tonight be condemned as unfit for human consumption and be not sold tomorrow or any other day.

That we do impound the food referred to in the above motions.

Members of the Executive then removed the food and placed it in the Executive Workroom. The next day, Association President Margaret Bryson made the following Statement:

"Mr. Levenbach and his staff fully understand the action of the Executive and have been most cooperative. Mr. Levenbach has told me that he has frequently asked the suppliers to deliver food to an enclosed area within the Building-to which the suppliers hold keys. For a considerable time, apparently, the suppliers have ignored all instructions to deliver food to the enclosed area."
