...RUS constitution differs on two vital points from its RGA predecessor: it calls for student autonomy in making amendments and student representation on the College Council. Though it is not the Trustees but the Council, at its meeting next Monday, that will have the final say on the constitution, all the Council members also sit on the Board of Trustees and the opinions expressed at the Board meeting are bound to carry weight...

TODAY'S meeting, however, is a beginning. It is a start towards what Debbie Batts, RUS President, sees as responsible cooperation between the administration and students on problems of concern to both.

He never had adequate clothes or blankets for the harsh Rus sian winters. He was forced to live amid the stench of his own excrement...

...true, but the atmosphere that morning--first in the Colloquium room and then in all but one of the five trustee-administration-student discussion groups--was sweet reason and affability. The conference was programmed as a discussion of the "inconsistencies" the Radcliffe College Council detected in the RUS constitution, but very little time was actually spent in going over specific clauses. The meeting was rather an opportunity for each side to present his case, and more important, for each to convince the other of his own reasonableness and openmindedness...
