Strings Attached: How Harvard’s Wealthiest Alumni Are Reshaping University Giving
A student-organized fund-raising group for Senator Eugene J. McCarthy is phoning every undergraduate at Harvard and Radcliffe to raise money for the Minnesota Democrat's presidential campaign.
James L. Speyer '70, head of the fund-raisers, said he has about 200 callers, each of whom has 30 undergraduates to call. Students are being asked to make out checks--"for five or ten dollars or two"--to Massachusetts McCarthy for President. Speyer emphasized that contributions are being fed to campaign efforts all over the country.
The fund-raising must be conducted by phone, Speyer said, because of the University regulation prohibiting solicitation on University property by any organization other than the Combined Charities.
Speyer said he expects to complete the calling campaign by Thursday.
