<p style="text-align: left"><strong></strong>Dear Students,</p>
<p>We are excited to call for applications for the Student Organization and Journals Committee (SOJC).</p>
<p>The SOJC works with the Director of Student Organizations and the Student Representative Board (SRB) to represent the interests of student organizations and journals. This could be a great opportunity to advise the SRB on potential institutional changes in procedures for funding for organizations, coordination of activities and collaboration among groups, and procedures for the creation of student groups.</p>
<p>We are calling for applications for the following roles:<br />
1. At least one member who is on the executive board of a student organization;<br />
2. At least one member who is on the upper masthead of a student journal, and;<br />
3. Possibly two students who fall in neither category, for a total of at least four (4) students.</p>
<p>To apply for any of the above positions, please email your Director of Student Organizations, Valérie Duchesneau, at<a href="mailto:vduchesneau@jd14.law.harvard.edu" target="_blank">vduchesneau@jd14.law.harvard.edu</a>, with a list of your involvement with student organizations and journals (position and name of student org and/or journal). Applications should be received <strong>no later than Thursday, November 8th, at midnight.</strong></p>
<p>I look forward to working with you this year!</p>
<p>Valérie Duchesneau</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Update on SRB’s Hark Hours Initiative</strong></p>
<p>In response to student concerns about afternoon availability of food, Restaurant Associates has agreed to keep additional lines open in the upstairs Harkness Café until 2:30 pm on weekdays and make additional items available at the Pub Grille at 2:30 pm.</p>
<p>The following stations are now open until 2:30 pm in Harkness Café:</p>

<p>The following stations are available at the Pub Grille at 2:30 pm:</p>

<p>The SRB welcomes your feedback on how these changes are working out as we will be in ongoing contact with Restaurant Associates regarding student response and desired changes to hours.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"> <strong>SRB Office Hours</strong></p>
<p>If you have any ideas or concerns, we’d love to hear from you!  Come talk to us during our office hours.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Problems with the Evening Taxi Service</span></strong></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">Some students contacted Student Government about issues with the Evening Taxi Service.  Specifically:</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">students had to wait for the taxi to come to Lewis from Boston, which is where the taxi company is based; and</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">the dispatcher at the cab company did not know where Lewis is located and wasn&#8217;t familiar with the taxi voucher program.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">DOS told us that the taxi company was selected because:</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">past experiences with Cambridge taxi companies have not been great; and</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">other Harvard grad schools (i.e. the Med School) reported satisfaction with the company.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">DOS will contact the cab company to request that they educate their dispatchers and drivers about the Evening Taxi Service and the location of Lewis.  </span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Broken TVs in Hemenway</span></strong></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">A student contacted Student Government about machines with nonfunctioning or malfunctioning TVs (e.g., they wouldn&#8217;t turn on; the sound is distorted; the volume cannot be changed).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">We brought this up with DOS, and DOS told us that the Harvard Athletic Department has focused its budget on the big screens in Hemenway, because maintaining the individual TVs is very expensive.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">DOS will bring this issue up with the Harvard Athletic Department, and we will let you know what we hear back.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Broken Coffee Machines</span></strong></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">A student contacted Student Government about issues with the Flavia coffee machine in Lewis and on the 4th floor of Langdell Library.  The student suggested replacing the machines with machines that are better adapted to serve a high volume of students.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">DOS is going to bring this issue up with Restaurant Associates, and we will let you know what we hear back.</span></li>

<div><span style="font-family: Arial">One of our major goals this year is increased transparency about what we do as your representatives and how we are responding to student needs.  In light of that, here are some highlights from our most recent meeting with the Dean of Students Office (DOS).</span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial"><br />
</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>New Evening Transportation Options</strong></li>
<ul>
<li>Students contacted Student Government about the discontinuation of the shuttles from Lewis to apartments in Cambridge.</li>
<li>The Lewis shuttles were discontinued because the cost of those shuttles increased dramatically.</li>
<li>Students now have 2 alternatives for evening transportation.</li>
<ul>
<li>1)  <a href="http://www.law.harvard.edu/current/student-services/transportation..html#EveningVan" target="_blank">Evening Van Service</a></li>
<ul>
<li>Areas Served<strong> </strong>— Cambridge within the boundaries of Inman Square, Porter Square and Central Square.  <a href="http://law.harvard.edu/students/orgs/shuttlemap.pdf" target="_blank">Click here for a map of the area served by the shuttle (PDF).</a></li>
<li>Hours<strong> </strong>— Available from 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. seven days a week.  Last call must be received by 2:30 a.m.</li>
<li>To Schedule a Pickup<strong> </strong>— Call 617-495-0400, (TTY#) 617-496-6642, or email <a href="mailto:shuttle@harvarad.edu" target="_blank">shuttle@harvard.edu</a>.</li>
</ul>
<li>2)  Evening <a href="http://www.law.harvard.edu/current/student-services/transportation..html#TaxiEscort" target="_blank">Taxi Escort Service</a></li>
<ul>
<li>Students Served — Students who live in Cambridge (beyond Central, Inman or Porter Squares) or Somerville.  Students within the bounds of the Harvard Evening Van Service are expected to call the van.</li>
<li>Hours<strong> </strong>— 7pm to 1am</li>
<li>How to Use It</li>
<ul>
<li>1)  Pick up a voucher at the Langdell Circulation Desk after 7pm during <a href="http://www.law.harvard.edu/library/about/hours/index.html" target="_blank">Circulation Desk</a> hours for use the same evening.  Students must show their HUID to the Circulation Desk Attendant and must sign their name and their HUID # on the log.</li>
<li>2)  Call Town Taxi (617-536-5000).</li>
<li>3)  Town Taxi will pick up students in the Lewis Lot (1557 Mass Ave).  Students must write the drop-off location on the voucher.  Gratuities are automatically handled between Harvard and Town Taxi.</li>
<li>Note:  Voucher receipts are reviewed monthly.  Use of the taxi vouchers for anything other than transportation from Harvard Law School to Somerville or an address outside the Evening Van Service boundaries in Cambridge and between 7pm and 1am will result in loss of taxi privileges and may subject students to disciplinary action through the Administrative Board.  If you do not use the voucher on the night you received it, you must destroy it.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<li>For more info on transportation options, see <a href="http://www.law.harvard.edu/current/student-services/transportation..html" target="_blank">http://www.law.harvard.edu/current/student-services/transportation.html</a> for more information.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Slow Clinical Servers</span></strong></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">A student contacted Student Government about the slowness of the servers used by students in Clinics and Student Practice Organizations.  </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial">We brought this up with DOS, and they are looking into what can be done to speed them up.  </span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Coffee in Austin</strong></li>
<ul>
<li>A student contacted Student Government about coffee not being available in Austin for students with 8:10am courses.</li>
<li>DOS will adjust the delivery time of the coffee.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Tabling in the Hark</span></strong></li>
