...inadequacies should not lead us to abandon its ideals altogether. We must design a new requirement—rigorous, pedagogically innovative (like the proposed General Education classes), and as engaging as possible. Certainly, there are several logistical obstacles we will need to overcome, but the tabula rasa that the Curricular Review process gives us is the perfect opportunity to engage rather than avoid these impediments.

What advocacy we expect them to do is wholly within the realm of undergraduate life at Harvard—on questions like the Harvard College Curricular Review, the development of a new campus in Allston, and the extension of library and dining hall hours. Unlike the question of employee pay, these issues all pertain immediately, directly, and undeniably to our experience as students here. We elect our representatives with the understanding that they will limit themselves...
