...resolution does not say what the Faculty would consider "appropriate steps." One law professor construed it to mean an official expression of concern about the directive from the Harvard Administration. Another said it implies an action similar to Columbia University's: barring military recruiters from campus until Hershey's directive is rescinded...
...President will get around Congress' stipulations by designating all qualified older men who have just lost their deferments (such as college graduates losing II-S) as "constructive" 19-year-olds for draft purposes. Without any graduate deferments this will mean a June eligibility pool of 1,113,000 real and "constructive" 19-year-olds. Both groups will be treated equally. Barring a major mobilization, 1968 draft calls are expected to be no higher than 360,000, or one-third of those eligible...

But deferring the students in the fields on the Committee's list would mean virtual draft exemptions for nearly half this country's graduate students. This would be an unacceptable situation to both draft and government officials...

The anger expressed by some interns at the President's refusal to meet with them and receive their policy-shaking set of signatures struck me as incredibly naive. I do not mean to infer that last summer's interns should have attempted to lecture to their Congressmen, soberly and articulately discussing with him matters of interest, would have been the most effective action they could have taken...
