The Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL) voted yesterday to ask Dean Rosovsky to add to a proposed study of the 1-1-2 housing plan four alternative systems that would avoid 1-1-2's controversial shift of all freshmen into the Quad and all sophomores into the Yard.

In a long and stormy meeting the panel approved a motion from William H. Bossert '59, acting master of Lowell House, asking Rosovsky to direct the coordinating committee of his educational task forces to study all five housing options now being seriously considered by University Hall administrators.

Administration proposal

The committee rejected the administration's proposal that the coordinating committee analyze only the education aspects of 1-1-2, apparently fearing that emphasis on the highly disputed plan would undercut other options that the panel finds more palatable.

The four other housing options propose:

* Continuing the present system;

* Improving the Quad Houses and then assigning sophomores to Houses on a blind lottery;

* Housing all freshmen in the Quad and turning the Yard into upper class Houses; and

* Placing all freshmen in the Yard and thus limiting the Quad Houses to only the three upper classes.

What will occur next remains unclear. One administration official said last night he expects the seven task forces and their coordinating committee will resist taking on the entire housing problem.

Lunchtime overcrowding

Also during the meeting--CHUL's first this year--the committee heard F. Skiddy von Stade '37, dean of freshmen, report on lunchtime overcrowding in the Union and the time restrictions he ordered into effect last week to limit the numbers of upperclassmen eating there.

During his report von Stade said Union overcrowding during the last two weeks resulted in part from bad weather and from students shopping for courses. For this reason, he told the panel, he will wait until later this semester before making any proposals on further restrictions.

The dispute over studying housing options dominated the session. Francis M. Pipkin, associate dean of the Faculty for the College and CHUL chairman, opened the late afternoon meeting by telling the committee that the administration's summer housing study group asked for the review of 1-1-2.

If CHUL had approved the 1-1-2 review as proposed, the study would have been conducted by the coordinating committee, which includes President Bok, Rosovsky and the chairmen of the task forces. Completion was set for January.
