U.C. Negotiates Release of More Yale Tickets

By Jeffery N. Gell

Student tickets for this Saturday's Harvard-Yale football game will go on sale again tomorrow morning, after negotiations between the Undergraduate Council and the athletic department.

Students who missed the October 21 deadline to buy $12 reduced-rate tickets will be able to go to the ticket office in the basement of Harvard Hall by Friday and "be considered as late applicants," said Director of Sports Information John P. Veneziano.

Rudd W. Coffey '97, the council member who negotiated the extension, said that while about 4,000 students have already ordered tickets, many missed out.

"This is a real big victory for the U.C.," Coffey said.

At last night's council meeting, members passed two other resolutions designed to follow through on the council's recent push for "school spirit."

In a resolution proposed by Richard A. Cole '95, the council unanimously agreed to sponsor a pep rally Friday evening in the Malkin Athletic Center quad.

"We're going to pass out song sheets, and the [football] coach is going to be there," Cole said. "It's going to be a real big morale booster."

The council also allocated money for security at its tailgate party before the Yale game Saturday.

In other business, the council unanimously agreed to administer a used book sale after exams in January.

Council members, will collect books at the Science Center and pay students 50 percent of the book's value, a price comparable to that paid by the Coop.

A few council members proposed selling the books for a profit.

"If we could get a little profit out of that, everybody's going to be better off," said Spyros H.Poulios '95.

But the council decided to re-sell the books next fall at no more than the price they paid.

"It keeps our book sale free of scandal," said resolution sponsor Jonathan P.Feeney '97. "This is a real service were supplying to a large number of students."

The council loaned itself $5000 from its spring grants fund to finance buying the used textbooks in January.

College Report

The council also approved a motion sponsored by President David L. Hanselman '94-'95 that would endorse the "two-dean" structure proposed in the Maull-Lewis Report on the Structure of Harvard College.

Later this month, Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R.Knowles will be determine the job structure for whomever replaces current Dean of the College L.Fred Jewett '57 at the end of this year.

One proposed structure places the Dean of the College and Dean of Undergraduate Education as a subordinate to the Dean of the College.

"Right now students have direct access to the Dean of Harvard College," Hanselman said. "We may become one level more removed from the Dean of Harvard College."

Randall A.Fine '96 criticized the Maull-Lewis report for being too ambiguous about the future role of the Dean of Students according to the "two-dean" model.

"It seems to be that the administration has prevented us from having all of the information to make an educated decision," Fine said.

Fine proposed an amendment to the resolution recommending to Knowles that a Dean of Students also be retained in the "two-dean" model.

"As a student, I've only had to see a Dean of Students," Fine said. "We need one to be there to represent us."

Fine's amendment passed by a vote of 40-18.

In Other Business

In other business, the council appropriated money for free Thanks-giving-break shuttle bus service to Logan airport, schedule two "Town Meetings" and voted to force former council members to return their council office keys.

Two reform measures were tabled until next week.

One would reconsider adding a non-voting first-year representative to the council's executive board, and another would create an internal reform committee.
