More than a year after they were ordered to sever ties with the College, Harvard's nine all-male final clubs continue to rent space from the University, students and officials said yesterday.

In the first three months of this academic year, several of the exclusive organizations have used the Holyoke Center penthouse, Ticknor Lounge in Boylston Hall, and the Hasty Pudding Club for official final club functions.

However, Harvard officials say the University will soon tighten its disaffiliation policy with the all-male clubs.

"Harvard certainly ought to enforce its policy and not rent to final clubs," said Gina Cattalini '87, president of the Radcliffe Union of Students.

Harvard Real Estate (HRE) probably will cease renting its Holyoke Center penthouse to the final clubs for parties, Dianne M. Dyslin, who books such rentals, said yesterday.

"We most likely will not continue to rent to them in the future," Dyslin said. "We apparently had discussed this two years ago when the clubs were disaffiliated."

The penthouse is available for rental to any Harvard affiliate, Dyslin said, adding that the students in the final clubs are affiliated with the University, although the clubs are not. The penthouse had been the site of about five final club parties a year, she said, including at least one party this fall.

"Most of the final clubs use that place a lot," said a member of the Porcellian Club who asked not to be identified.

Porc Pigs-out at Ticknor

The Porcellian Club held a party in Ticknor Lounge in Boylston Hall from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. after The Game two weeks ago.

"Without my knowledge, the club did use it," said Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III.

Most bookings of College facilities go through the dean of students office, but use of Ticknor Lounge is handled independently.

"I just assumed it was a Harvard-Yale post-Game party for alumni," said Renie Jackson, who supervises Ticknor. She said that Boston attorney Arnold W. Hunnewell '50 booked the room in June, and it wasn't until Ocotober that she found out the party was Porcellian-sponsored.

But Hunnewell said he didn't know anything about the post-Game party. "I froze to death and went home," he said.

"It was done through the club," said PorcellianTreasurer Reade E. Griffith '87. "It was a partyfor the Porcellian Club and anybody who wasinvited."
