Draft Project to Counsel In the Yard on Weekdays

Regarding anti-war activities, Harvard will still be where the action is this summer. The Harvard Draft Project, began the pring to advise students on ways of fulfilling (or avoiding) their military obligations, will offer counseling services afternoons on the steps of Memorial Church for the next two months.

Tom Engelhardt, a Harvard graduate student in Chinese History, said yesterday that the Project "will not be a one-issue organization. In addition to the counseling, we will busy ourselves with whatever summer school students are interested in."

Tentative Plans

Tentatively, Engelhardt envisions discussion groups on different social problems, a film series dealing with the peace movement and civil rights, and a quick course on draft counseling itself. The Project will also work closely with the Summer school Forum, a student group sponsoring controversial speakers on campus.

While the main trust of the Project will be political education, not political action, Engelhardt does not exclude the possibility of organizing protests or pressure groups around specific issues concerning the summer school, such as dormitory regulations. He said that the final direction the Project takes will depend on summer school participants.

"Now there is just a skeleton organization," said Engelhardt. "We expect students to eventually fill it out and take it over." He hopes that when Project members disperse to their colleges this fall they will use their experience in political activities there.
