A project sponsored jointly by the Student Council and P.B.H. aims at increasing the flow of Harvard exports to foreign countries. Until June 6, "Operations Booklift and Clothesline" will canvass the College and Radcliffe for old clothes and used books destined to be distributed in Tanganyika and South America.
Inspired by a similar project at Yale and organized by three members of the Council's International Affairs Committee and the P.B.H. Drives Committee, "Operations Booklift and Clothesline" will send the old clothes it collects to the World University Service for distribution throughout the western world.
The drive hopes to "help keep the lamps of learning burning" by sending used textbooks with Project Tanganyika teachers to Tanganyika, where English is the official language. The books will also go to South America because, according to a P.B.H. spokesman, "certain technological concepts cannot be expressed in Spanish."
