"Our Web page is not there any more, and no one told us it was [not] going to be," said Carletta P. Bruno '01, RUS's publicity chair.

Others were startled to notice the change to the Lyman Common Room, whose walls used to be covered with colorful displays by student groups and information women needed.

But the walls were stripped bare over the summer and now the room feels like any other. Clancy said that undergraduate use of the common room has been restricted so that the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study can use it as a conference room.

The most pressing issue was what to do with a $34,000 "nest egg" of unused money that came from the term bill fees formerly charged to female undergraduates. RUS was only notified this summer that the fund existed, Clancy said.

One student proposed a campus-wide event to raise awareness of women's groups and issues on campus, similar to last spring's Rally for Justice.

Another proposal involved reserving the money to fund groups that might be denied grants by the new Ann Radcliffe Trust, a foundation that will pay for gender-related events at the College.

"It's going to be a lot more difficult for action-based groups to get money from administrators," Clancy said.
