SFAC to Write Rationale Of Recruiting Resolution

The Student-Faculty Advisory Council decided yesterday to prepare a detailed explanation of its restrictive recruitment resolution for its presentation to the Faculty on Tuesday.

The authors of the final resolution--Charles S. Maier, instructor in History, and Rogers G. Albritton, professor of Philosophy--will head a group to write a description of the various points SFAC discussed in forming the proposal. Albritton will present SFAC's recommendation at the Faculty meeting.

"A really major problem," yesterday's chairman Kenneth M. Glazier '69 said last night, "is that we have discussed recruitment very thoroughly and gone through a lot of things that most people wouldn't even consider."

The resolution--which the Council spent some 12 hours formulating--would give students a major role in barring an organization from Harvard. A potential recruiter would be banned if a petition signed by one-fifth of the student body, and subsequently approved by SFAC, requested such action. A petition with 500 signatures would require a recruiter to discuss his company's policies at a public meeting.

At yesterday's meeting--which was the final one of the year--the members spent about an hour and a half discussing the body's future role.

The only decision reached was that the current SFAC would meet on the first Tuesday of the new term in September and decide where to go from there.

On Electing Representatives

Stanley H. Hoffmann, professor of Government, suggested the possibility of electing Faculty representatives. Roger D. K. Thomas, a graduate representative, talked about the problems of graduate student selection. This year's graduate members, Thomas said, had been appointed by the Graduate Student Association, their student government, and had not been elected by the students at large.

The question was also brought up as to how and when next year's undergraduate members would be elected. Members expressed sentiment for having at-large, college-wide elections, rather than within each House, as was the case this year.
