To the editors:
I just wanted to express my frustration with the recent Undergraduate Council resolution to allocate funds to student groups practicing "Random Acts of Kindness" (News, Feb. 17). Perhaps I have misinterpreted the council's mission at Harvard, but my own goat was quite gotten by the idea that the council is here to act as the great moral reward-giver of our community. Should the council wish to contribute funds to more disorganized "acts of kindness" than those practiced spectacularly by PBHA and other organizations, I should think they might still have a well-defined criteria for what those acts entail.
Food for thought, perhaps: is a true act of kindness ever "random"? MARY CAMPBELL '01 Feb. 18. 1998
