We understand that the answers to some of these questions might be several months in coming. As with any new organization, there are probably many procedural details that still need to be straightened out. And we are encouraged that Harvard is interested enough in undergraduate input to appoint students to the Trust committee in the first place.

But the manner in which they have conducted their business is all wrong. If the administration is truly concerned about how we feel, why don't they just ask? The dispensation of information is the best place to start; let us know exactly what the Trust is, what its goals purport to be and how it fits into the grand scheme of funding Harvard student groups. Most importantly, the Trust needs to give anyone who is truly motivated the opportunity to become involved. By appointing a select group of students, an instant wedge is driven between the representatives and the people whom they are supposed to serve.

Tonight we will start to get some of those answers. At 8 p.m. in Emerson 108, Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68, Acting Dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Mary Maples Dunn, Dean Avery and Julia G. Fox, will be available to answer questions about the Ann Radcliffe Trust and women's issues on campus more generally. We welcome this meeting and hope a plan involving substantial, open student involvement can be worked out for governance of the Ann Radcliffe Trust.
