...Committee on Students and Community Relations (CSCR) has squandered many man-hours investigating PBH's purpose, finances, and need for a $20,000 Faculty subsidy. After months of delegating responsibility and scheduling subcommittee hearings, the CSCR finally recommended a temporary $10,000 grant and reconsideration of the subsidy issue "an other year." If "another year" means 1973 or later, it will be too late...

...harm of the CSCR report is hard to measure. The committee's procedures, which called for closed committee and subcommittee meetings, caused one PBH stalwart, Barry F. O'Connell '65, to submit his resignation as graduate secretary, and the damage list is still not complete. The CSCR recommendations to Dean Dunlop could provide him with a protective umbrella to phase out the Faculty subsidy by June 1973. In addition, the Corporation might point to the CSCR report as a major reason for upholding the decision to shut down the PBH building in the evenings and on weekends, a move that...

Secondly, in its recommendation to the FAS the sub-committee berates PBH for its "professionalism" and its subsequent inability to accommodate hundreds of interested volunteers. Cutting off funds to PBH is certainly no way to remedy these shortcomings. PBH programs can correctly be termed "professional" only in that they demand a time commitment most volunteers cannot afford because of the University's refusal to consider PBH work for credit. Without a serious commitment of time and energy on the part of the volunteers (often at the expense of their academic studies) no socially productive and/or personally rewarding programs will develop...

Thirdly, by eliminating PBH, Harvard once again ignores its responsibility to the Cambridge community. The events during commencement involving the Riverside people last year dramatically point out that it is high time the University start taking townrelations seriously. For the past two years PBH has provided a free summer camp and education program for 70 poor children from Cambridge This program received Model Cities' money and participated in the Cambridge Community Schools Program; in other words, it had the support of Cambridge institutions and more importantly the people. The sub-committee report suggests that PBH require its committees to cover...

Fourthly, the committee suggests that PBH programs come under the scrutiny of the FAS. Is it naive to think this sort of administrative review can be politically neutral? When PBH allows Black Panthers to talk to students in its Common room (after the University unequivocally denied them a place to speak) and when PBH allows anti-war groups to carry on their activities much to the dismay of certain administrators, can we surmise that the University wishes to see PBH exorcised? For many of us students, PBH activities have been a radicalizing experience; the disparity between textbook facts and reality...
