Career Planning Refers CO's to BDRG Counsel

The Office for Graduate and Career Plans (OG&CP) referred Harvard students interested in Conscientious Objector status to the Boston Draft Resistance Group (BDRG) in a newsletter on the draft released yesterday.

The BDRG runs a counseling service on draft resistance, which advises delaying tactics to those facing induction: filing for CO status, seeing a psychiatrist, engaging in anti-war activities, and writing inflammatory letters to one's draft board.

The OG&CP's newsletter recommends that seniors carry out plans to enter graduate schools next fall. It predicts that these seniors will not be drafted before they finish their first terms.

The newsletter points out that the II-A occupational deferment may include some kinds of graduate study, as well as teaching, depending on the local draft board's judgment of what is necessary to the national health, safety, or interest.

In the newsletter the OG&CP also refers students to the Draft Information Service at 52 Dunster Street and to the new Harvard Draft Project (HDP)--a coordinating committee composed of members of SDS and the BDRG. The HDP will set up counseling services in the Houses, Mark Dyen '70, co-chairman of SDS, said yesterday.
