The approximately 100 names on yesterday's GSD ballot consisted of 45 names from a n original list of June 11, 1971, with approximately an additional 50 names submitted last month by Hartman. Under the ad hoc procedures, the names were required to be Harvard faculty from any school outside the GSD.
Hartman's successful challenge of last month had charged that the Rogers Committee violated the provisions of the ad hoc procedures in two instances. He maintained that he had been given no opportunity to make additions to the list of nominees, a violation apparently rectified by his nominations late last month to the present list.
Hartman also charged that the Rogers Committee had gone beyond the original list of 20 before it found five persons to fill the committee. He said the Peter P. Rogers, associate professor of City Planning, had told him that this challenge was also correct.
In a letter to Hartman dated February 25, Rogers said that his committee would "approach the Faculty (at Yesterday's meeting) for permission to exceed the list of 20 names if it turns out that we cannot get five acceptances out of the first 20 this time."
GSD faculty sources said yesterday that there was no discussion of the 20-person limit at yesterday's meeting. The Crimson obtained a copy of yesterday's ballot--marked "Confidential"--and the ballot instructions similarly contained no mention of the 20-person limit.
Rogers said last night that the Rogers Committee "had not introduced" the question of the 20-person limit at yesterday's meeting because "we just decided we wouldn't."
Rogers said he hoped to have a new review committee selected "as soon as possible.
