Last spring, the HUC passed a highly significant motion calling for student seats on all faculty committees. We sent the proposal to the CEP and Committee on Houses (COH) and crossed our fingers. In time, both groups sent back ambiguous letters of rejection; and they invited us in to talk about it. We could do nothing except change our minds and agree with them or wait a year and try again. Doing either meant abdicating our responsibility to the student body. Yet the alternative was confrontation politics, something that the HUC, which acts with its hands rather than its feet...
Take parietals, for another good example. This is the only case on record in which the Committee on Houses acted positively on an HUC proposal. Why? Not because of any respect for student body opinion, certainly. Just one year before the COH had completely ignored a college-wide poll which showed students unanimously supporting increased parietals. Actually, the COH's well-timed acquiescence was motivated by militant pressure tactics from radical student groups--a sleep-in was threatened. A second factor was the increasing absurdity of Harvard's parietal position as colleges like Wellesley instituted hours that were twice...
...COH agreement would eliminate the coat and tie rule for all meals except dinner. The old rule will be replaced by a "well-defined expectation" according to Dean Glimp, spokesman for the Committee...

But even communication between students and faculty--the basis of any meaningful contact--is haphazard if not non-existent. Some examples of this occurred this fall. The Committee on the Houses (COH) relied on the CRIMSON to communicate to the Harvard Undergraduate Council (HUC) its decision regarding the HUC's parietals proposal and the HUC's request to meet with the COH. In fact, the official spokesman for this committee refused to speak with an HUC representative until the day after...
