Final Results Known In Referendum Vote

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Final results on Wednesday's Student Council referendum show that 220 Freshmen and 1005 resident upperclassmen voted.

With 698 no and 527 yes votes, the proposal to cut the constitutional amendment requirement from two-thirds to one-half of those voting was the only measure that lost. The most yeses, 1091, to only 196 no's, went to the amendment putting representation to the Council on a House basis. The proposal to have eight Council members appointed by the Masters received the slimmest margin, 833 to 371.

The measure increasing Freshman representation to four had 859 yes to 342 no votes, while a measure to alter Council attendance requirements was passed 842 to 366.

A small number of Dudley House votes has not been counted yet.
