As part of an Undergraduate Council event yesterday, President Neil L. Rudenstine said some Harvard faculties are willing to move across the river to Allston, potentially opening up more space for the College in Cambridge.

Rudenstine did not specify a time frame, or specify which faculties had indicated they were willing to move. He noted, however, that room in Cambridge is becoming harder to find.

"There is hardly a human way to build anything in Cambridge right now," he said at a town-hall meeting with students that was the final event of the council's "Days of Dialogue" series.

The president, along with Associate Dean of the College David P. Illingworth '71, spoke candidly during the meeting, which drew about 50 students to Fong Auditorium in Boylston Hall.

In addition to speaking about space concerns, the administrators also addressed advising, issues of disciplinary action and rape reporting--saying a student proposal for "an impartial student advocate" in the disciplinary process was "a good idea."

The discussion covered a wide range of concerns--touching first on worker compensation. Living wage campaign demonstrators and posters outside the auditorium personally targeted Rudenstine, and Rudenstine faced persistent questioning in the forum.

Amy C. Offner '01 opened the event by asking him if the price of a living wage--$10.25--was too high, and added the administration had consistently refused to do anything about the situation.

Rudenstine defended the administration's actions in response to the living wage campaign by citing a faculty committee report and its resulting steps--including easing the requirements for obtaining full health benefits--as evidence the administration has listened to concerns.
