THIS REVIEW indicates that whelming hostility students felt for the Corporation last month, the Committee of Fifteen has announced that it will consider possible changes in "character of membership, method of election..." of the Governing Boards. Most of those who went on strike to re-structure Harvard were mainly concerned with this simple problem, but it is easily overlooked when compared to all the other questions in the wide range of the committee's concerns.

Dean Peterson introduced a motion to refer the Paine Hall issue to the Committee of Fifteen, but the Faculty tabled the motion after spokesmen from the committee said they were not yet sure whether the committee wanted to consider the question...
