CHUL's student members met the night before to draft what they considered a very mild and non-controversial statement praising the Harvard-Radcliffe Constitutional Convention for re-examining the effectiveness of student government at Harvard.
One Faculty member said that because CHUL does not normally pass resolutions of support for undergraduate organizations, it would be inappropriate for the committee to do so in the case of the convention.
With or without CHUL's blessing, the members of the convention began designing the internal structure of the proposed new student government. An issues committee is currently preparing a clear agenda for the delegates.
Goldhamer said more than 20 major educational and scientific organizations are boycotting Chicago as a convention meeting place.
