8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Already passing out of its formative stage, the newly-hatched Joint Student Association came up from its fourth meeting last night with plans for concrete steps in the closer linkage of University departments.
To facilitate the interchange of information among the graduate schools and the College, the Association named Marshall Massey 3L, representing the Law School on the body, to investigate the possibilities of publishing a weekly information bulletin for University-wide events.
The publication, modeled on the Phillips Brooks House entertainment guide, would list events of interest throughout the University. At the same time, the Association will investigate possible expansion of the present PBH guide.
Six schools are already represented on the Joint Student Association, but six more will be invited to join. The School of Architectural Design, Medical School, Graduate School of Education, Littauer School of Public Administration, School of Public Health, and Radcliffe will be asked to send two delegates each to the regular meeting of the body next month.
Constitution On The Way
Straughton Gettier 1DV, was delegated to submit a draft for the possible constitution of the enlarged group. His report will attempt to define the aims, purposes and functions of the Association, preliminary to a bid for official University recognition.
Although it took no formal action last night, the Association expressed the desirability of coordinating Service Fund Drives throughout the University. Plans for unifying next fall's fund-raising campaign will be discussed at coming meetings.
Bypass Athletics
Inter-school athletic programs failed to get a nod from the body. Since some graduate schools have no teams to field in any sport, the Joint Student Association felt it would be better to keep intra-University athletics on an informal, elastic level.
Representative from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Albert R. Goldsmith 7G, invited the Association to enter into a report the Graduate Advisory Council in preparing on the problems of the foreign students here. The matter was referred back to the individual schools on the body for possible action.
