By John Alzate | October 16, 2008

The increasing expenses have also prompted DDS to raise meal-plan prices between 4 and 5 percent since last year, depending on the meal plan, Blume said. "For the current fiscal year, to date (through Sept.), DDS's expense for food sold is 19 percent greater than last year, while for the same period our retail sales are up by 11.4 percent," Blume said in an e-mail to The Dartmouth.
