"With 90 percent of students in favor, there is no question that party hours should be extended from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m.," Smith said. "The only question left to answer is how can we minimize the negative effects endured by the tutors, Cambridge residents, and the 9 percent of the student body opposed to the change. CHL meetings with the Cambridge Licensing Commission, the HUPD, and a standardization of House party policies will address these negative effects."
Smith said he hopes party hours will be extended by the end of the school year.
