The Faculty-while still in official session yesterday-approved a resolution condemning the Vietnam war.

The formal vote at the meeting was 255 for the resolution, 81 against, and 150 abstain.

But at an informal "convocation" after the meeting, 44 of those who had voted "no" or "abstain" voted once more. Forty-one of them voted to support the spirit of the anti-war resolution, and three voted against it.

Earlier in its meeting, the Faculty approved a modified and amended version of a resolution suporting the October 15 Moratorium.

The original version of the resolution-presented by Everett I. Mendelsohn, professor of the History of Science, asked the Faculty to "affirm its support of the October 15 day of protest" and re-affirm its members' right to suspend their classes that day.

By a vote of 268-210, the Faculty amended the resolution to say that the Faculty "recognizes that October 15 is a day of protest." The amended motion passed by a margin of 391-16.

No Recess

The Faculty voted on the anti-war resolution only after a move to recess the meeting failed by an extremely narrow margin.

Several professors-including those who had said before the meeting that the Faculty should consider the resolution at an informal convocation or during a recess-said during the debate that the Faculty should not vote on "political" issues at its formal meeting.

Then Seymour Martin Lipset, professor of Government and Social Relations, moved that the Faculty recess for 15 minutes. His motion failed by one vote, 214-215.

The Faculty voted immediately on the Vietnam resolution, with abstentions being counted as well as ayes and nays.

The approved resolution says that "it is the sense of this Faculty that the war in Vietnam must not continue. While our opinions differ in detail, we agree that the most reasonable plan for peace is the prompt, rapid, and complete withdrawalof all U. S. forces. We support a united and sustained national effort to bring our troops home."

Opponents of both the anti-war and the Moratorium resolutions argued that the Faculty should not take corporate stands on matters of national political policy.

To avoid splitting the Faculty on that issue, they suggested amending the Moratorium resolution and postponing the antiwar resolution until after the Faculty meeting.

The strategy succeeded on Mendelsohn's Moratorium motion. Peter B. Doe-ringer, assistant professor of Economics, proposed an amendment, saying that he agreed with the idea of supporting the Moratorium. but that he did not want to involve the Faculty in political debate.

Moratorium Passes

After nearly an hour of discussion, the Faculty approved Doeringer's motion. Then it immediately passed the amended Moratorium resolution by an overwhelming margin.
