Harvard Students To Vote on Divestment From Israel in Inaugural HUA Election Survey
The Harvard Student Union will distribute blanks for the nation-wide Peace Ballot, sponsored by the "Yanks are Not Coming" Committee, on Saturday, May 11.
Presenting the simple question to the voters, "Do you want peace or war for America?", it is intended as a barometer of popular sentiment. The Committee, which sprang originally from a West Coast maritime union, is now backed by both AFL and CIO representatives.
1,000,000 to Vote
1,000,000 voters will be polled by door-to-door volunteers, a member of the Committee stated last night.
Russell Nixon, of the Cambridge Union of University Teachers, is among the sponsors from the labor field, while Ernest J. Simmons, assistant professor of English, is included in the civic and educational roster.
The ballot itself cites the now-famous statement of Senator Gerald P. Nye in one of the pictorials, "First cash and carry, then credit and carry, then war loans--then war."
