Dunster Men Ask House-Wide Vote For HUC Posts

Ninety-six Dunster House students have signed a petition asking the house committee to turn over the selection of Dunster's Harvard Undergraduate Council representatives to a House-wide vote.

Last week the house committee decided it would choose the representatives.

The student who circulated the petition, Peter D. Goldberg '69, said he wanted the election decided by a House vote because the committee is not representative of the entire House.

The Dunster House committee chairman, Thomas J. Shields '69, said that either procedure was acceptable to him. He explained that the House committee had decided to select the representatives because a small group would probably be better able to judge candidates' qualifications.

Several other house committees have also decided to let House members select their HUC representatives by a House-wide vote. The HUC constitution gives house committees the prerogative to choose the election procedure.
