A group of Economics graduate students and junior Faculty members calling itself the Harvard Union for Radical Political Economics will demonstrate at 1 p. m. today in Forbes Plaza, while the Overseers' Visiting Committee to the Economics Department is meeting above in the Holyoke Center Penthouse.
They will be joined by members of the November Action Committee.
"The Visiting Committee consists of financial magnates, corporate managers and government executives who symbolize the interests we oppose," a pamphlet distributed by the group on Monday said. "Blacks and Third World people, women, workers, welfare recipients and students-these are people who should serve."
The Visiting Committee is chaired by C. Douglas Dillon '31. former Secretary of the Treasury. Its purpose, according to an Overseers booklet called "Committee Assignments," is to "form a sort of two-way street between the various departments and the Board."
Speakers at the rally will include representatives of the Welfare Rights Organization, the United Electrical Union, the Bread and Roses collective, and the Caravan Theatre.
