...University’s perceived support of the United States military during the Vietnam War, most notably the presence of ROTC on campus. It was amidst the confusion and enmity so characteristic of the era that the student government—a body known as the Harvard Undergraduate Council (HUC)—crumbled, leaving the fate of student legislature largely to a committee led by historian Merle Fainsod, the then-director of the Harvard Library...
Among the worse casualties are those groups specific to Radcliffe. What will happen to RUS (Radcliffe Union of Students)? Perhaps it will become HUS and join a slimmer HUC (Harvard Undergraduate Council), or perhaps RUS will cease to exist at all. Quite possibly the singers of Radcliffe Choral Society (RCS) may one day become confused with the technologists in the Harvard Computer Society (HCS). The Radcliffe Pitches will also suffer a deep identity crisis...
...Harvard Undergraduate Council (HUC) and the Student-Faculty. Advisory Committee (SFAC) proposed nearly the same revisions of ROTC--that the courses have all academic credit removed, so that ROTC would no longer be a part of Harvard's liberal arts education. Edward T. Wilcox, a Faculty official, agreed to read the HUC proposal. "I really didn't necessarily agree with the students' concerns," Wilcox remembers. "I was more interested in not letting bureaucracy hold up the outlet for student opinion." He adds. "Of course then the main concern was one of academics not students politics because the ROTC courses were...
...planning a publicity drive to generate support for the plan in the fall. They are eager to avoid a repeat of the events of a decade ago, when the last official student government gambled with its life and lost. In a bid to gain power, the Harvard Undergraduate Council (HUC), as the government was known, first dissolved itself in 1970 and then asked students to re-establish it with greater responsibilities and a larger budget (which would have been provided by a $10 addition to all undergraduate term bills). HUC severely misjudged its popularity, however; a majority of undergraduates voted...
...Harvard students will vote on a new plan for student government for the third time in little more than a decade. The last official government here--the Harvard Undergraduate Council (HUC)--splintered during the campus protests of the late 1960s and finally dissolved itself in 1969. Undergraduates rejected a proposal to reestablish a more powerful version of HUC in 1970, leaving Harvard without a central undergraduate government until the formation of the Student Assembly four years ago. The assembly, however has no formal powers, no funding from the University, and only "provisional" recognition by the Faculty...
