Quincy Supports CRR Boycott; North Only House Still to Vote

The Quincy House Committee Sunday night voted to continue its boycott of the Committee on Rights and Responsibilities (CRR), and suggested a list of reforms for the group.

"We felt a boycott was proper but that we should offer alternatives as well," John A. Thompson '80, chairman of the House Committee, said yesterday.

Reform

The reforms, similar to those the House passed last year, include calling for a board of appeals and banning hearsay evidence.

Thompson said that, because the House had discussed the issue so thoroughly last year, the boycott topic sparked little controversy this year.

The debate centered around whether the CRR should be abolished altogether. The committee decided they would send delegates if the CRR complied with the reforms.

North Does Nothing

The North House Committee tabled the issue again Sunday. The committee last week delegated a subcommittee to study the question.

Student Assembly members lobbied in favor of the boycott at both House Committee meetings.

Subtle Pressure

"We're not trying to pressure the Houses, but we do have a viewpoint that we're trying to get across," Stephan Carter '81, chairman of the assembly's Student Rights Committee, said yesterday. "We are members of the assembly working actively on behalf of the assembly," he added.
