Following Monday's open forum on the military a anti-gay hitting practices, a U.S Navy recruiter yesterday interviewed four seniors considering enlistment with no sign of protest Martha Leape, director of the Office for Career Services and Off-Campus Learning said yesterday.
Navy recruiter Lt Lawrence Burrill met with three men and one woman a total that may be slightly higher than those who have interviewed with Harvard representatives in recent years Leape added.
Monday's forum--the first university open meeting ever held by the military to discuss its hiring practices--was required after the Gay and Lesbian Students Association collected close to 600 signatures on a petition calling for the meeting.
Under 1968 Faculty legislation, an employer wishing to recruit on campus must first hold an open meeting to discuss its hiring practices if 500 students request such a meeting.
Leape said representatives of each branch of the armed forces traditionally recruit at Harvard each year, adding that turnout is consistently limited to several students for each branch of the service.
Burrill initially consented yesterday to speak with The Crimson, but later declined because a superior instructed him not to talk to the press, Burrill said.
