The petition is intended to demonstrate widespread concern among all the races of the Harvard community for Negro students' problems, Wesley E. Profit '69, a committee member, said yesterday.
The committee's petition moderates the original proposals which appeared in the Crimson last week in three ways.
The ad hoc committee on Negro educational policy at Harvard has moderated its stand and is circulating a petition to gain bi-racial support for its proposals.
* The petition also calls for the establishment of an African-American Research Center comparable to the East Asian, Russian, and Middle Eeastern Research Centers now existing, a point not included in the original statement.
The petition, drawn up by Mark A. Zern '69, concludes that the educational and social gain of keeping the dining hall open is worth any "reasonable expenditure." The petition will be circulated in the other Houses today.
