Houses

In a college-wide referendum on the strike, all eight Harvard Houses voted last night to support the four strike demands, as did the Harvard freshman and the Radcliffe Houses.

At least three Harvard Houses-Leverett, Adams, and Quincy-passed the fourth demand in modified form, where-by students would have four choices regarding exams.

Those options included taking exams as scheduled; postponing exams until fall (for all students except graduating seniors); exempting students from exams with "pass" credit, and exempting students from exams with graded credit.

The freshman class, by a 384-321 margin, voted down the third demand concerning ROTC, defense research, and counter-insurgency research.

About 250 freshmen met at Lowell Lecture Hall earlier yesterday for two hours, and elected three representatives to the strike committee. The entire class overwhelmingly ratified the selections of the meeting in a referendum during dinner.

The Freshman Council did not sponsor the elections, but two of its members-David Russell and Wendell Wilkie-were named to the strike committee along with Erich Brandt.

The meeting of freshmen also passed by a slim margin a resolution condemning violent action by strikers.

At least one Harvard Square store has decided to close in support of the strike. Krackerjacks posted signs yesterday afternoon that said "We are closed in support of the strike." The manager said the store would remain closed indefinitely.
