...Crimson editorial of Feb. 25 on Leverett House's action on the CRR indicates that The Crimson is missing the essential reason for the students' decision to work for change through negotiation. Leverett House is in no way willing to accept the CRR as presently constituted. Equal student-faculty representation, open hearings, and a concrete definition of triable offenses are goals that must be worked for.

Students must continue to remind the Faculty how unfair the CRR really...
