To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
The referendum today on amendments to the constitution of the Student Council has one proposal which would greatly weaken the Council as a body representative of the Harvard undergraduates. This proposal, the third on the ballot, is that the House Masters and the Senior Common Room of each House appoint one of that House's representatives to the Council.
In other words the Student Council would be even less representative of the students than it is now. If close to one third of the members were to be Administration-appointed, how could we expect the Council to act as a "voice" and a "pressure group" for the undergraduates? Ronald L. Nuthall '59
