The amendment was defeated by a vote of 126-38.

"It requires more than a general commitment to openness to protect the rights of all parties involved in the hearings." James Q. Wilson, professor of Government and a member of the Committee of Fifteen, said. "We must preserve the committee's right to hold orderly proceedings."

Alan Heimert '49, Master of Eliot House and another member of the Committee, said last night that the defeat of the Buhl amendment does not mean that hearings cannot be open in the future, but merely that they need not be. The decision is left to the new committee.

Filling Vacancies

A second amendment-proposed by Roger L. Winters, senior tutor of Dudley House-moved that vacancies on the new committee be filled from their original constituencies.

The resolution as passed says that if vacancies occur-as in the cases of the two student members of the old CRR who resigned last week-the Faculty Council is authorized to nominate additional students for appointment by the Dean of the Faculty.

The Resolution adds that the Faculty Council is expected to consult with student members of the various student Faculty committees in filling such vacancies-13 of whom said last night that they would not participate.

The Winters amendment was defeated by a 94-65 vote.

The third amendment-proposed by Charles G. Gross, lecturer on Psychology-moved that none of the Resolution be effective until ratified by a majority vote of a student referendum.

"It shocks and dismays me that the Faculty seems unaware that these mechanics are totally unacceptable to the majority of students, not just to those on the far left." Gross said.

"We owe it to the 11,000 students who did not sign a petition that we protect them," George M. Hanfmann, professor of Fine Arts. replied. "We must maintain the functions of teaching and research in a free society, not a left-dictatorial society."

The Gross amendment was defeated 125-49.
