HUC Meets Informally with HCUA; Ellis Praises Free Dining at 'Cliffe

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The new Harvard Undergraduate Council met informally last night with members of the old Harvard Council for Undergraduate Affairs to discuss ways of making the new student government an effective one.

Speaking to the meeting, H. Reed Ellis '65, former chairman of the HCUA, called free interhouse dining with Radcliffe "the most significant accomplishment of the HCUA last semester" and suggested that the new council immediately appoint a committee to try to insure that the project is continued.

Ellis also suggested that the HUC appoint a committee to try to get parietals hours extended to Saturday nights of football weekends and that more dofinite regulations be set up for college-wide elections.

John E. Sundell '65, the former treasurer of the HCUA, reported that the new student government will inhorit $1967. He pointed out, however, that it will be more difficult to raise money next year because a provision of the new constitution prohibits soliciting money from freshmen during the first semester. This year's freshman class contributed $1300 at registration, nearly half of the total HCUA budget.

About 13 members of the HUC attended last night's meeting. The council will meet formally for the first time next Monday when it will elect its officers. The second organization of the new two-body student government, the Harvard Policy Committee, will hold its first meeting sometime next week.
