HLU Will Legalize 'Cliffe Membership

The Harvard Liberal Union will merge with Radcliffe as soon as a revised constitution is officially approved by the Student Council and the Harvard and Radcliffe Dean's Offices, James M. Bardeen '60, HLU president, disclosed yesterday.

Radcliffe's Student Government Association has already approved the constitution, which guarantees equal rights to female members of the Liberal Union, Bardeen noted. He added that he expects to hear from the Deans' Offices in the near future.

Shortly after the Liberal Union elected new officers, including Emily L. Hart-shorne '62, secretary, and Vivian M. Oppenheim '62, Radcliffe affairs chairman, the organization was notified that it had not complied with University regulations concerning mixed clubs. "We thought we had official sanction, since the Liberal Union has several Radcliffe members," Bardeen explained.
