Adams House members overwhelmingly defeated last night a resolution to send representatives to the Committee on Rights and Responsibilities (CRR).

Adams thus became the third House in three days to reject participation on the committee.

Dunster House voted last Wednesday by a 3-1 margin not to set up a committee which could send representatives to the CRR, and on Friday Mather House voted 108-98 to do the same.

In the three referenda so far, the total vote against the CRR in the form approved by the Faculty has been 56; the vote in favor has been 169.

According to the proposal, which was applied by the Faculty Jan. 12, student representatives to the CRR would be chosen from an 11-man committee selected at random from among the sophomores and juniors of each House. This committee of 11 would have the option of sending no representatives, one representative or two representatives to the CRR.

Of the 149 Adams House students who voted, 95 (63 per cent) said that Adams should not send representatives to the CRR, regardless of the method used for selection. Twenty-one students (14 per cent) said that Adams should send representatives to the CRR if a method of selection other than the 11-man committee were used. Thirty-two students (23 per cent) voted to send representatives under the present plan. Less than half of the House voted on the referendum.

Four Others

Four other Houses are planning referenda on the CRR: Currier, today; Eliot, Monday; South House, Wednesday; and Kirkland will vote sometime next week.

The Leverett House Committee has already chosen the 11 members of the committee, and the decision on CRR representation for the House will be left up to them.

According to Benjamin Moore, a member of the Winthrop House Committee, "Nothing has been planned. Everyone is afraid to touch the issue."
