Seneca member Alexandra B. Seru '01 said theSeneca would serve as the network for forthcominggenerations.

"We're going to end up being the network forgenerations below us," Seru said.

Referring to "the interclub network" of malefinal clubs, they said they recently havecontacted the Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS),sororities and the female final club, the Bee, tobegin forming similar relationships.

To further its goal of social interaction, thegroup will hold parties once it has a space of itsown.

"One of the problems we have with social lifehere is that parties must end after 1 a.m. in thedorms, and we didn't want to have to deal withrules of that sort," Julia Butler said.Parties at the club will be open, Julia Butlersaid.

"We wouldn't turn people away," she said.

"Next fall, there will be this outlet thatpeople could look into. We hope five other groupsof girls do this," she added.

Kaitlin S. McGaw '00, who is a member of bothRUS and the Coalition Against Sexual Violence,said she did not understand why the group wouldhave an application process.

"If they want to try to form a women'scommunity, then that's an interesting idea.... Butapplications to that? That doesn't make sense,"McGaw said
