WAR STRIKE WILL NOT BE HINDERED, STATES HANFORD

Sponsors Claim Several Members of Faculty Intend to Participate in Demonstration in Yard

Pacifists who walk out of their classes on Friday morning at 11 o'clock as a protest against future war will not be molested by University Hall, it was announced last night by Dean Hanford.

The walkout of the National Students League planned for that time will go on as arranged without the interference of the authorities according to Dean Hanford. "I see no reason why the University should in any way alter the regular curriculum because of the strike," was the official dictum.

Expect Large Following

Student Leaguers feel certain that enough men will leave the classrooms to warrant a general meeting on the steps of Widener Library and that if such is the case that there will be speeches and a distribution of propaganda on pacificism. Circulars were posted in the Houses yesterday, and although the feeling throughout the College is that the strike is no more than a gesture, the N.S.L. feels that many will follow their exhortations.

It is intimated by the Harvard Chapter that several instructors are to be among those who will leave their classes to an uncertain fate when the bell of Memorial Hall tolls the hour of 11. They refused to give out any names, but insisted that not only students, but Faculty members would support the nation-wide strike sponsored by the National Students League and the Students League for Industrial Democracy.
