SDS Will Seek Class Rank Vote

Harvard's chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) will press for a binding referendum on class-ranking after tomorrow's student poll.

The poll, sponsored by the Harvard Undergraduate Committee, has never purported to be binding. In a leaflet SDS declares:

"The HUC is a good beginning. It is not enough. There must be a referendum binding on University policy. Let the students decide whether rank will be computed."

Students Choose

Harvard's present policy is to compute class rankings and then make them available to each student. The student then can choose whether to forward the rank to his draft board.

Tomorrow's HUC referendum will concentrate on questions about class-ranking and the Selective Service System in general. The SDS phamplet urges students to vote NO to the first question: "Do you feel the Selective Service should require the University to compute rank-in-class as a basis for 2-S deferment?"
