House Committees Vote for Pets

Houses without cocd living will be given yet another legal opportunity to obtain warm. furry, "creature" comforts for the long winter nights ahead.

A resolution to allow pets in student rooms was unanimously passed by the Dunster House Committee Tuesday night, joining proposals already approved by House committees in Kirkland, Adams, and Lowell Houses. The proposed change in regulations will go before the Committee on Houses after action by the remaining House committees.

The proposed statute would allow students "to keep pets, and in the case of dogs, cats, or similar animals, up to four per suite" provided that the suite is kept clean, and that no objection ismade by anyone in that House entry. Present Harvard policy prohibits all student pets, although some students have been allowed to hoard cats, rabbits, and even scorpions as long as no one complained and the room remained sanitary.
