Southwestern at B.C.

Boston College has decided to bar the Southwestern Company--a bookselling firm which recruits college students to work as door-to-door salesmen-from soliciting students on its campus, a college official said yesterday.

Harvard this week also decided to continue a six-year ban on the company, after a first-year Business School student had resumed recruiting on University property. Harvard first banned Southwestern in 1975 after recruiters held a meeting in a freshman dorm against University rules.

Ways

The college informed the company by letter yesterday that violations of school policy--particularly a rule that the student employment office post all job offers centrally--necessitated the ban. Pat Hurley, director of the student employment office, said yesterday.
