This is approximately representative of proposed heights, but not of the architecture. There is a skybridge pictured between the two buildings that connect on Osborne Street. /V131/N16/graphics/uarestructure.html Infographic by Connor Kirschbaum Under the proposed UA governance structure, the UA Senate would be replaced by a UA Council with representatives from dormitories and FSILGs. Under the scheme, dormitory presidents, the presidents of the IFC and Panhel, the LGC speaker, and an off-campus representative would cast votes weighted by the number of undergraduates they represent. The numbers here are approximate and may not reflect the representation seen if the proposed UA constitution is approved. FSILG representation reflects estimated numbers of undergraduates living in — not merely affiliated with — an FSILG. Class year and gender information presented here also reflects the composition of the UA Council were the proposed transition to occur today. An underclassmen-dominated Senate would be replaced by a largely upperclassmen council, and the IFC president would cast the vote with the most weight. /V131/N16/graphics/novartismayalin-1.html Courtesy of Sharon Styer Maya Lin, architect of the Vietnam War Memorial, has been selected by Novartis to design their Mass.
