"There are adequate systems in place regarding fiscal responsibility," he said. "Enough to satisfy all regulators."

Pan pointed out that PBHA's main concern is the release of two senior staff members--Greg A. Johnson '72, PBH executive director, and Gail L. Johnson, director of the Office of Public Service--rather than the specific appointment of Kidd.

Pan added that PBHA did oppose Lewis's choice because Kidd was the last option for many of those who interviewed her.

Pan added that the HRC statement did not focus on the most important issues concerning students right now.

"It is absolutely essential that student voice be taken seriously to reach a mutually-agreeable outcome," he said.

Pan said PBHA is presently forming plans for the future and that HRC's statement is premature. He invited HRC and anyone else to discuss these issues with the board of directors.

"I would hope in the future that Dickerson or any members of the club would speak to [PBHA] leadership about offering suggestions publicly in order to make informed policy statements," Pan said. "It's irresponsible not for them to do so."

HRC's resolution did not meet with approval from all of its members. Wesley B. Gilchrist '97-'98, who drafted the original statement for the HRC executive board, said he felt the board's final policy statement did not fully appreciate the spirit of PBH's rally.

"One of the rally's main purposes is to support students and get student input on administrative decisions affecting students," he said.

"The resolution that [the executive board] passed was against the spirit that PBH wanted for the rally," he said, adding that the statement minimized the goals of the rally and instead used the opportunity to criticize PBHA.

Malone said that although HRC wants to encourage some of the goals of the rally, the executive board felt that it had to make all of its opinions known.

"We felt as a board that it was our responsibility to make this public, because no one else was saying these things," Malone said. "These are important points and really ought to be heard.
