Yard Council Holding Poll on Vietnam, Draft

The Harvard Freshman Council is conducting a poll on the Vietnam war, the draft, campus recruiting and presidential preference this week. Results of the poll will be made public next Friday,

Council vice-president Frank D. Raines '71 organized the poll, which includes some 65 questions in the four areas.

Raines, one of three freshmen on the Student-Faculty Advisory Council, said that "if the great majority of freshmen oppose the draft and campus recruiting, we will propose that the SFAC draft a resolution reflecting the sentiment of the students."

According to Raines, the poll is being taken because "there is a common assumption that most students oppose the war and feel it is illegal." "We want to find out if these assumptions have statistical backing," he said
