Pan Am Boycott

The Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars (CCAS) a group of students and Faculty in Far Eastern languages and related fields, is organizing a boycott of Pan American Airways.

In a protest against Pan Am's contracts with the Department of Defense, the Committee is urging sympathizers to fly on other airlines and to avoid the Intercontinental Hotel chain, which is owned by Pan Am.

Participants from the Harvard chapter-which has about 20 members-will leaflet at Logan Airport through the weekend, encouraging people to make their Christmas flights on another airline. Leigh Kagan a tutor in Far Eastern History and one of the organizers of the boycott at Harvard said.

The aim of the boycott, which was initiated a' Berkeley, is to put enough economic pressure on Pan Am to get the airline to carry no more military personnel or cargo to Southeast Asia and to Southeast Asia and to refuse to "charter its equipment to the Department of Defense for any purpose other than to bring home the troops," a spokesman for CCAS said.

"We don't expect the boycott to be immediately effetive, but we hope to educate people to show what they can do to protest the war." Mrs. Kagan said.

Periodiculs on the Loose

A new policy at the Educational school library now allows 20-year-old bound periodicals to circulate freely. This differs from policy at Lamont and Hilles, where periodicals cannot be checked out.

Widener continues to allow bound periodicals to circulate for ten days-but only to officers of the University.

An Ed School committee of Faculty, students, and librarians agreed on November 24 to let periodicals circulate for four weeks, with recall possible after three days. A library study revealed that periodicals more than 20 years old could circulate due to the low demand for them, said Daniel Posnansky, Associate Librarian.

Librarians at other libraries said that the availability of photo-copying makes the circulation of periodicals unnecessary.

"We would prefer that the materials circulate," said Posnansky.

Theodore G. Alevizos, Associate' University Librarian for Reference and Circulations, said, "There's a strong feeling on the part of some of the faculty that periodicals should not circulate at all."

Dunster Eyes Cliffies

About 40 Cliffies and 50 Dunster men have agreed to participate in a coed living exchange, but official approval of the plan remains uncertain. The proposal differs from those already approved in that men will move into Radcliffe's off-campus houses and the Jordan cooperatives instead of the brick dorms.

Several Dunster men will present the proposal today to Jerome Kagan, professor of Developmental Psychology and head of the Faculty Committee on Residential Living, said Linda Shen '70, one of the exchange's organizers.

Kagan said that his committee has no power to approve the plan. He felt that approval would have to come from the Faculty, unless President Pusey makes an exception and approves it himself. There are no Faculty meetings scheduled until next semester. Kagan said he doubts that a special Faculty meeting will be called to discuss the proposal.

Dunster may also try to arrange exchanges with the Radcliffe brick dorms, said Mark Kaplan '71, another of the exchange organizers. He said that this would be necessary since some of the Cliffies interested now have one-room doubles in the off-campus houses, Dunster men refuse to move move into these rooms, Kaplan said.
