...representatives from HUC, SFAC, and HPC who will attend the Faculty meeting Feb. 4 will probably all be members of these bodies from the past year, and not the newly-elected members who will begin serving with the new term...
...five years from now. A trial exchange of a semester or longer would provide a sounder basis than presently exists for an accurate evaluation of the benefits and possible shortcomings of coeducational housing. Furthermore, there is widespread student support for the idea of such an exchange; in the HPC-RUS questionnaire, 80 per cent of Radcliffe and 65.5 per cent of Harvard students favored the idea, 63 per cent of Cliffies and 42 per cent of Harvard men stated that they were personally willing to participate in such an exchange (bearing in mind the change in location and a possible...
These familiar pleas are backed with solid statistical indications that Harvard and Radcliffe students really want the change. Ninety per cent of the undergraduates polled by the HPC favored the idea of optional coed living accommodations and almost half the Harvard students as well as 60 per cent of the Cliffies said they were willing to pack their bags and move next term. The crowds that gather for lunch every day at Lehman Hall and the huge number of Harvard students who make the trek to Hilles each night confirm just how eager students here are for informal coeducational contacts...
...HPC report hedges on the long-range problems of instituting mixed housing. There may be legal difficulties requiring some kind of merger between Harvard and Radcliffe, and it is not clear whether sexually segregated housing can be or ought to be retained for those who prefer it. But these are the sort of problems one hopes could be worked out during the trial period. The only trouble with the experiment itself is that it may make some undergraduates move who would rather stay put. No one should be forced to move any further than to a room in another entry...
...experiment's chances for success probably depend on how much undergraduate effort goes into organizing an exchange in the next few weeks, and on the willingness of Radcliffe officials to make the first gestures of mergerism. Even if mixed housing is not tried next term, though, the HPC report ought to alert administrators to the folly of planning the future of the Houses or mapping out schedules of Radcliffe dorm construction without intending to make either coeducational...
