Some members believe the extension of the policy change will not be permanent.
"If the grad board sees that we can control ourselves, it can definitely get back to what it was," Owl member Benjamin M. Green '00 said.
Inter-Club Council President Rev. Douglas W. Sears '69 said restricting access to the clubs is sensible.
"Prudent management--not exclusivity--dictates that they should be private," he said. "Some of the management issues in the 1990s necessitate each club look at how it functions."
The policy changes are sure to be discussed at the council's ICC's quarterly meeting this Thursday, Sears said.
"It's going to be an opportunity for grad presidents of clubs that have modified their policies to talk," he said.
Owl graduate president John W. Boynton '88 declined to comment.
