Two students now under Federal Grand Jury indictment for traveling to Cuba last summer will speak at Harvard tomorrow.
The two, Levi Laub and Phillip A. Luce, were allowed to leave the New York City area last week for the first time since their indictment on Sept. 27, when they and 57 others returned from a two-month stay in Cuba.
This week they have been speaking at various New England colleges to publicize their claim that the indictment is illegal and to help organize another trip for next summer. They will speak here at 8 p.m. in Sever 4 during a meeting sponsored by the Harvard-Radcliffe Socialist Club.
Laub and Luce are members of the executive board of the Student Committee for Travel to Cuba, an organization of students from the group that defied the State Department ban on travel to Cuba.
The Committee is in the process of organizing another two-month trip next June, tris time for 500 people. More than 100 have already signed up, despite the impending trial of the students who recently returned.
To further publicize their positions, they have been distributing a petition deploring "the various restrictions placed upon individuals seeking to exercise their constitutional right."
Several Harvard professors, including H. Stuart Hughes, professor of History; Mark de Wolfe Howe '28, professor of Law; Laurence Wylie, C. Douglas Dillon Professor of the Civilization of France; Rupert Emerson '22, professor of Government, and John K. Fairbank '29, Francis Lee Higginson Professor of History, have aigned the petition.
