With a decreased focus on women's education and more emphasis on financialdevelopment, Naiman said Radcliffe is "putting alot of pressure on us to give," making alumnaefeel like "cash cows waiting to be milked."

But some current undergraduates said yesterdaythat Radcliffe is not obsolete.

Upset at the Globe's "one-sided" coverage ofstudent apathy towards Radcliffe, Emma M. Cheuse'98 said she feels "strongly connected" toRadcliffe and the community it fosters.

Yesterday's news left Cheuse and others seekinganswers from a University unwilling to comment.

Certain undergraduate organizations--such aswomen's crew and rugby teams, the Radcliffe Unionof Students (RUS) and Education for Action--may bein limbo as a result of proposed changes.

Could RUS, which is the "official studentgovernment of Radcliffe College," exist withoutRadcliffe?

"The answer is, really, no," said RUSco-president Stacy M. Abder '99. "I know so manywomen who wouldn't have come here if it weren'tfor Radcliffe. Harvard is so male--that's theimpression you get before you even get here."

Michele A. Casey '99, who holds two positionsin Radcliffe research institutes, said she doesnot believe Harvard would have the impetus to fillRadcliffe's place in the women's community oncampus.

"Radcliffe needs to take a proactive stancetoward women before we can even think aboutgetting rid of Radcliffe," said Mia C. Bagneris'99, co-president of RUS
