...Mime's Eye, one of very few student shows that consist entirely of original work, brings to the Harvard stage some excellent mime by Grumbach and his cast, as well as some new work from a recognized young composer. It is an ambitious project and a provocative evening of theater...
Established in the wake of the April 1969 student strike as a student-Faculty committee to discipline political demonstrators, the CRR was boycotted by undergraduates from 1970 to 1977. Although the boycott began more because student members of the committee felt personally uncomfortable disciplining fellow students than because of organized protest, the boycott quickly became an expression of student dissatisfaction with the CRR's structure and procedures...
...package of so-called reforms drafted by the student and Faculty members of the CRR over the past two years, however, addressed only three of these problems. As recommended by the CRR and approved by the Faculty, the CRR is now weighted only seven-to-six against students, its hearings may be open only if both the University and the accused students concur, and neither students nor the University administration can be represented by legal counsel at CRR hearings...
MANY OF THE CRR's most objectionable features remain unchanged. The Resolution on Right's and Responsibilities, the CRR's charter, is still vague in defining violations; the CRR still hears appeals of its own decisions; and it may still consider hearsay evidence (i.e. one student's testimony that another student told him he saw a third student present at a demonstration).

...their failure, however, lies not in any deficiency of the reformers, but in the nature of the CRR itself. It is an inherently repressive body designed by the Faculty to punish those who disagree with University policies and have enough courage to express their disagreement in a political demonstration. Student participation in the CRR can never be an effective or meaningful way of expressing student views on administrative decisions and therefore can never be supported. The Crimson has frequently advocated abolition of the CRR in the past and nothing in the legislation passed by the Faculty last week solved...
