CRIMSON Votes Cliffe Equality

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Eighty-five years of tradition were overthrown yesterday as CRIMSON editors voted to extend full membership rights to Radcliffe Bureau members.

The motion must now be approved by the CRIMSON graduate board, by the Harvard and Radcliffe student councils, and by the Harvard and Radcliffe administrations before it can be put into effect.
