HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Six pickets marched outside the Harvard Travel Agency yesterday afternoon, urging tourists to curtail travel to Greece in protest of the recent coup by the Greek Army.
The pickets appeared outside the agency shortly before noon, at its peak business hour. They carried signs reading "Are you touring Greece to see the cradle of democracy or a country under fascism?" and "Come to the Harvard Travel Agency; tell them you support free elections in Greece and buy a ticket for some other place."
After an hour and a half of marching, the pickets disappeared, leaving their signs strewn on the sidewalk. Other Harvard Square travel agencies reported no picketing during the day.
Richard Eaton, manager of the Harvard Travel Agency, said that the coup had not decreased the number of tourist bookings for Greece. "Anyway, Greece is never a very popular summer resort for our clients," he commented.
