...Harvard Undergraduate Council and its subordinate Harvard Policy Committee are steps toward aristocratic government, but pitifully small ones. A few clubbies may win posts on the HUC, but only through the hit-or-miss democratic process. The HPC, while avowedly less democratic than its coordinate group, is still antiaristocratic. No self-respecting clubbie would want to join it. The HPC cannot do anything; it can only think. Neither body, so long as it ignores our natural leaders, can win the respect of the students.

The HPC ought to hold open meetings, and ideally they would evolve into forums at which concerned undergraduates and faculty members could exchange ideas freely. But in any case, this arrangement offers more hope for an effective dialogue than the present Council which meets in splendid isolation...
