The student council last night refused to endorse a Freshman Union Committee proposal to keep Lamont open until 12:10 a.m. on weekdays.
Council President Allan B. Levin '56, said the plan, which would have staffed Lamont with volunteer freshmen after 10 p.m. was defeated because "the University was unwilling to entrust a six million dollar library to freshmen," and because the reports of the 1958 Union Committee and the council's library committee indicated there might not be sufficient use of Lamont after 11.
"We are not even sure the University will continue last year's extended hours during the reading and examination period," Levin said. He added, however, that the council had passed a resolution urging the Administration to put these extended hours on a permanent basis.
Council Committee
Levin said the council had appointed a committee to study the library problem, which will consider any further recommendations about Lamont hours. "But," Levin stated, "nobody knows right now what the University intends to do."
In other action, the council approved the constitutions of the Harvard-Delhi Project and the Students for Stevenson.
