With a flurry of mimeographed broadsides, the Harvard - Radcliffe Peace Strike Committees prepared the way this weekend for their Wednesday walkout from classes.
The names of Richard D. Edwards '41 and red-headed Miss Jane T. Pike, Radcliffe '41 appeared at the bottom of two leaflets, one letter to the Faculty, and a mammoth telegram to President Roosevelt.
Stressing opposition to conveys and to an A. E. F., the strike committee co-chairman quoted in their own behalf the latest Gallup Poll, Arthur N. Holcombe '06, professor of Government, and the President himself.
