"We could charge dues, but we'd rather not," Meg G. Lesser '78, chairman of the Leverett House committee, said yesterday. "We'd rather get the money in other ways." Lesser added that a recent Leverett House mixer netted $460.
The annual dues range from $2 per student at Currier House to $10 in one hall of North House.
A majority of the students in the Quad Houses pay the dues, House committee members at the Quad said yesterday. Over 50 per cent in Currier House contribute and up to 95 per cent pay in Moors Hall in North House.
The collection of dues was once a "widespread practice" throughout the College, Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, said yesterday. However, he added that the practice has "lapsed" at the River Houses.
The dues supplement House committee funds which are used for specific House improvements and activities such as milk and cookies, barbecues, and House social events.
