Panel Elects 2 to ACSR, Decides Not to Dissolve

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A student panel that was designed to elect two of its members to the Advisory Committee on Shareholder Responsibility and then disband voted yesterday to remain as a constituted body indelicately.

The 27 member committee elected two representative to the ACSR but passed a resolution binding the votes of these representatives to the majority opinion of the committee. The committee also voted itself the power to recall the two representatives and clear replacements for them.

Corporate Responsibility

The ACSR will advise the Administration on matters of corporate responsibility. Its members include two undergraduates and three graduate students as well as five Faculty members and the five alumni members elected at large.

The 27 member group elected Martin Auerbach '73 and John Hegan '73 as its representatives Auerbach said that night that he approved of the committee's vote to bind him to its majority decision.

Auerbach said he considered himself "first and foresight a representative rather than a student on the ACSR."

The committee is also considering a rotation system for its representative so that everyone on the committee could spend some time on the ACSR Auerbach said.

Free Agents

Auerbach said that midway through the meeting Dean Whitlock come in and advised the committee to adopt the representative vote binding plan so that the representatives could remain free agents to make the most responsible decisions.

Whitlock could not be reached for comment on the meeting Dean Epps said last night he had no reaction to the committee's decisions.

Joseph Petrowski '76 secretary of the committee said last night that the committee is considering a plan that would allow the Individual Houses to recall their representatives it they became dishabille with them.

South House voted last month not to send representatives the committee on the grounds that the selection procedure was may indirect and that the student ACSR members would have any real poser.

The 12 other Houses and the freshman class all sent delegates to the committee.
