Fox Questioned On Recruitment

Harvard's recruiting facilities are offered to "any organization that has positions available," John B. Fox, Jr. '59, director of the Office of Graduate and Career Plans, told the Student-Faculty Advisory Council yesterday.

Asked if any were "specifically included by explicit invitations," Fox said that he writes to some graduate schools to remind them to recruit at Harvard, but does not explicitly invite military or industrial recruiters. He said that his predecessor had invited military recruiters, "probably without realizing what he was doing."

Fox was asked about a memorandum he had issued, which offered to make available to seniors information on ROTC at various graduate formation for all sides in a very schools. He said that "we have inskeletal form," adding that his office has American Friends Service Committee handbooks in its library, "which nobody reads."

"I have talked to over 200 seniors," he said, "and all who were considering conscientious objection were more informed about it than I am."
