Kirkland House Master Tom Conley said that so far, the student feedback, both from the HoCo and from “students at large,” has been positive.

He said that he expected to know definitively within the week whether or not Kirkland House would choose to implement UKA.

Naddaff said she did not know what policy Mather House would choose to follow next year.

Masters of Eliot, Dunster, Pforzheimer, Lowell and Winthrop Houses could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Matthew J. Glazer ’05, who co-wrote a successful council bill urging the adoption of UKA, said that a majority of masters have said they support the policy.

Glazer, who is the chair of the council’s Student Affairs Committee, said that he hasn’t heard from the Freshman Dean’s Office whether or not it will change its policy to grant upperclassmen access rights to first-year dorms.

Dean of Freshmen Elizabeth Studley Nathans could not be reached for comment yesterday. She was out of town for the Council of Masters’ meeting Wednesday, according to Dingman.

HoCo members had mixed reactions to the decision, although none said they opposed extending keycard access.

Eliot HoCo co-chair Anna R. Himmelrich ’05 said the implementation of 24-hour UKA would be a “nominal measure,” contending that the number of people affected by the policy change—those entering between 2:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.—is minimal.

But she was also quick to add that she had no objections to 24-hour UKA as it had “no overwhelmingly negative consequences.”

Lacey R. Whitmire ’05, the Currier HoCo secretary, said she supported the change because it would be more convenient for students.

She said the current restrictions are unnecessary because “[a]nyone can eventually find someone, i.e., another student, to let them in.”
