Helpful as these informal contacts have been, they suffer from the disability of being largely ad hoc, and they ordinarily represent the result of student rather than faculty initiative. We believe that there is a strong case to be made for the exercise of greater departmental initiative in establishing regularized machinery for consulting with undergraduate concentrators. From the student point of view, such arrangements have the advantage of providing a recognized channel through which grievances can be ventilated, criticisms expressed, and proposals for change discussed with the Faculty. From the departmental point of view, the existence of such machinery...
...dearth of formal arrangements for consultation with undergraduates. It should be borne in mind, however, that a substantial amount of informal communication does take place between undergraduates and the teaching staff. Tutors and teaching fellows often are in close touch with undergraduates and contribute to a departmental awareness of student grievances and needs. From time to time, undergraduate groups have not hesitated to voice their criticism of courses, teaching, and departmental requirements. In recent years, as we noted earlier, the departmental audits conducted by the Harvard-Radcliffe Policy Committee have produced many useful proposals which were subsequently adopted...
Because of the wide diversity in the size, the needs, the practices, and preferences of the departments, we do not undertake to recommend a standard form of student-faculty consultative arrangement for all departments. Indeed, in the case of the small departments, where relations between students and faculty are usually close and intimate, no formal machinery may be needed, and we see no point in proliferating committees for the sake of symmetry. We do believe, however, that there is a need for such consultative arrangements in the medium-size and larger departments, and we urge that they be established where...
...aware that our recommendation for an expansion of student-faculty consultative arrangements at the departmental level is not without its price. It means an expenditure of time and energy on the part of both faculty and students, time and energy which some may feel might more profitably be devoted to substantive academic concerns. Despite these very real costs, we believe that the balance of advantage for both students and faculty dictates the course we recommend. The need for improved channels of communication between faculty and students is, we think, clear, and the potential benefits, in terms of building a constructive...
...your old time blood-'n'-guts sports reporter, the kind that used to frequent Madison Square Garden in the 1920's. Stomp in and drink with the hardnose people, put THEIR story in print, and show what sports is really like. Not any of the old clean-cut student athlete who dates the local cheerleader stuff. I mean real seamy material-brawls, bookies, point-shaving...
