Two Students Will Organize Flight Abroad

A low-cost plan to fly Harvard people to Europe this summer--a program previously dropped by the Student Council and PBH--has been adopted by a new "organization," formed by two undergraduates.

Calling themselves "Europe Cooperative," the two students will try to get 66 persons to join their group. This is the number they need to fill a plane chartered from a non-scheduled airline.

The two undergraduates said that the idea was originated in the Student Council. They added that the Council dropped the proposal on learning that the Administration would consider sponsorship by the Council as official endorsement. The University, they explained, did not want to be responsible for any accidents that might occur.

They declared, however, that Dean Watson had given them his "moral approval" provided they did not affiliate themselves with the University.

Only students of the University, members of the faculty, and their families are eligible to join the organization.

This restriction on membership is necessary if the group is to meet the requirements of the Civil Aeronautics Board for chartering a plane.

Under the CAB's rules, the organization seeking to charter a plane must have a common denominator among its members.

Representatives from the airline negotiating with the two students have assured them that their "organization" would meet these requirements since all its members would be connected with Harvard.

The group will hold a meeting on Wednesday night in the Lowell House Junior Common Room at 8:30.
