Almost as an afterthought, the Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) voted unanimously last night to amend its constitution to admit men as full members.

"It's not that big a deal to RUS, but apparently it is to Harvard," said Co-President Kathryn B. Clancy '01just before the members voted 5-0 in favor of the change.

After they attend two meetings, male undergraduates will be able to vote.

The vote came at RUS' first meeting of the year, sandwiched in the middle of a free-ranging discussion of the group's future in the post-Radcliffe College era.

Harvard College requires officially recognized student groups to admit all students regardless of sex.

During most of the meeting RUS grappled with the host of questions it faces in the wake of the merger. Some women said they still felt left in the dark about the status of women's programs at Harvard.

"I'm just totally bewildered," said Gloria A. Bruce '00. "[Administrators] haven't been making any effort to come to undergraduates and tell them what's going on."

Students cited the now-missing RUS Web site. It vanished last week when Radcliffe revamped its main site, but group members were not informed about the change beforehand.
