Petition Approved
The petition of the group of students interested in organizing a College political organization following the general aims of the American Youth for Democracy was approved by the Council with the qualification that the group stay within all College regulations governing independent Harvard groups that are loosely affiliated with the...
Final action of the petition now rests with the faculty, who last Friday night failed to act when the evidence of the group's independence from national organization control was still incomplete.
If the Faculty Committee on Undergraduate Organizations at its meeting tonight approves the AYD petition to form a chapter here, Harvard will become the second college in Massachusetts with an official branch of the American Youth for Democracy. Smith already has an AYD group recognized by the administration.
