To the Editor of the Crimson:

In Tuesday's article on the draft registration you stated that no one of 1300 registrants indicated his status as a conscientious objector, thus showing the high war morale. The country is at war, and so far as I can see, the morale is fairly high, but the legal time for the pacifist to register his objections to war occurs when he receives his questionnaire, at which time he may request and fill out the special form number forty-seven.

I myself attempted to write that I am a conscientious objector on my draft registration card, when I registered in Memorial Hall on Sunday. However, my registrar was so firmly against it that I acquiesced, since the procedure is not legally proper. There are at least fourteen other active members of the Harvard Pacifist Association who will state their objection to war when they receive their questionnaires. Marvin J. Shapivo '42.   Dunster F-53.

N.B. Will you be kind enough to print Dunster F-53 after my name, so that the two other Marvin Shapiro's in the school will not have the embarrassment of being thought pacifists.
