To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Your editorial about the need for more suites for married tutors pointed out something that is harming the development of the entire House system. The administration has unwisely decided to try to keep as many students as possible in the Houses. This year a few have been allowed to move off-campus, but the Houses are still full. Guest suites, private dining rooms, and other House facilities have been deconverted: students have been cramped into smaller and smaller rooms. In short, the Houses are providing fewer services and offering worse rooms.
The obvious answer to the problem is to permit any student who wants to to move off-campus. If Harvard is going to maintain its very expensive House system, it might as well provide the services that make a House worth living in: comfortable rooms, and, not merely married tutors' suites but also rooms for visiting firemen, Kennedy Institute fellows, and so on.
