With a council of 17 undergraduates and nine administrators and Faculty members in place, the first meeting of the committee to advise the Ann Radcliffe Trust will convene on Wednesday afternoon, charged with establishing a grant process for distributing the Trust's annual funds of nearly $20,000 to student groups.

Karen E. Avery '87, the associate dean of Harvard College, who heads the Trust, has proposed an ambitious agenda for tomorrow's 90 minute meeting and said she hopes to address the "grants process, eligibility issues for the grants, matters of co-sponsoring groups. . .the nuts and bolts of the Trust."

"The nitty-gritty details will come later," she said.

Avery said she is considering dividing the Trust committee into a smaller sub- group to tackle the grants process.

"There is a lot to accomplish, and I want to start focusing on grants," she said.

In their first few meetings, the committee will hammer out whether certain student groups should always have a slot on the committee and also will decide whether to have representatives from each House and class.

"I want to plant thoughts in this meeting, and get people thinking," she said. "What do we want?"

The Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations , which distributes grants to student groups and plans programs to promote discussion of race relations on campus, offers a possible model for the structuring of future Trust advisory committees.
