Students would still not be allowed to transfer out of Houses in large groups.

Turning their attention to House dining, the UC passed legislation advocating for extended dining hall hours. At last month’s CHL meeting, Student Affairs Committee (SAC) members presented the results of their phone survey of 270 students, which showed high demand for longer dining hours.

The legislation, which calls for dinner hours to be extended to at least 8:30 p.m., will be brought up in future discussions with Harvard University Dining Services, according to SAC Chair Aaron D. Chadbourne ’06.

In other business, Chair of the Reform Commission Jonathan D. Einkauf ’06 presented legislation that would reform the UC’s structure.

The commission has been developing its plan for reform over the past semester and was originally slated to make its recommendations before spring break.

According to Einkauf, most of the changes are to the UC’s bylaws, which would require a two-thirds majority of UC votes to pass. However, constitutional changes, such as changing the length of the treasurer’s term, could require more time to pass if any amendments are made to the legislation, since an additional week would be necessary before a vote could be taken.

The UC voted to send the reform legislation to SAC for review this week before voting at next week’s meeting.

Glazer said after the meeting that he was hopeful that the reform package would pass.

“The document was released tonight but the proposal’s been out for two weeks,” he said. “I think it’s very thorough.”

But some representatives were worried that changes to the grants system, which is often criticized and which Glazer has said needs to be “streamlined,” were not included in the reform package.

Einkauf and Glazer said that the chair of the Finance Committee will implement changes beginning next semester to improve the grants procedure.
