The Harvard Undergraduate Council agreed unanimously last night to ask the Faculty to place three nonvoting students on both the Faculty Committee on Houses and the Committee on Educational Policy.

The HUC will send the resolution to all members of the Committee on Houses and to all the Deans today.

The resolution states that the students would represent the HUC and the Harvard Policy Committee, although the students might not necessarily belong to these groups.

The HUC will list two reasons for the change in its letter to Faculty members. First, the HUC claims that "student perspective should be represented in the decision-making process in a formal and institutionalized manner." Second, the representatives would provide Faculty members with "a student viewpoint on all issues which concern the Harvard community."

Jeffrey C. Alexander '69, HUC vice-president, said that the proposal gives Faculty members a chance "to show their respect for student maturity and for the right of students to participate in making decisions which affect them directly."

On Ad Hoc Committees

The proposal also asks for students to be placed on "any ad hoc committees agreed upon by discussion of student and Faculty representatives."

The letter requests that the new arrangement be in effect only until the spring term of 1969. At this time, the proposal states, the effectiveness of having students on Faculty committees will be reviewed "in the context of a long-term HUC study on University decision-making."

Although students have conferred directly with members of the CEP in the past, undergraduates have met with the Committee on Houses only once--on parietals--so far.

The HUC confirmed plans for a series of committees designed to examine the various phases of student life at Harvard.
