Harvard Students To Vote on Divestment From Israel in Inaugural HUA Election Survey
Radcliffe's Student Council yesterday revised its original recommendation to the Dean's Office on political club membership lists. At the same meeting it accepted the resignation of Mary Hall '50 as NSA delegate.
The reworded recommendation proposes that the Dean's Office make it a rule that only executive members of the specific political clubs be listed on permanent records and that all political club lists be destroyed at the end of the year. Council's previous recommendation left the actual carrying out of the proposals to the discretion of the dean.
Tinker a New Delegate
Irene Tinker '49 was unanimously chosen to replace Miss Hall as Annex representative to NSA until new elections can be held late next month. Council appointed its president, Joan Projansky '49, as NSA alternate, the post previously held by Miss Tinker.
As part of her letter of resignation, Miss Hall criticized Council's previous stand on the political club issue, although clearly specifying that there was no relation between her views on this matter and her giving up her Council position as NSA delegate.
Hall's Advice
"Council has made a grave mistake in considering this issue in terms of past demands, not present and future exigencies," Miss Hall asserted. It has failed to recognize "the clear distinction between political and other clubs," she added, urging reconsideration of the problem.
Following Miss Hall's resignation, Miss Projansky reopened the club list question by stating that the first recommendation did in reality leave all action to the dean's discretion and that through faulty wording it "said absolutely nothing."
