The "Boston Sunday Globe", a newspaper published at’“*7
Boston, Massachusetts, irk its edition of October 15, 1967
printed an advertisement entitled "Faculty for the
Resistance" which advertisement outlined the following
information: (uy
"Tomorrow, on October 16, 1967, a number of students
from colleges in New England will sever their relation-
ship with the Selective Service by turning in individual
statements of non-cooperation to their local Draft
Boards. In Boston, the resistance will begin with a
rally on Boston Common, starting at 11:00 a.m. The
pattern of direct action in which these students will
participate will be repeated throughout the day in
other major cities across the country. Gi
"These students, at great personal risk, are protesting
the inequities of the present Selective Service System.
More fundamentally, however, they are directly
challenging the authority of the present administration
to conscript yet more bodies as it pursues an illegal,
immoral and tragically wasteful war in Vietnam. They
will add their voices to an ever-growing chorus made up
of men of good will theoughout the world who demand an
immediate end to the brutal and senseless killing of
Vietnamese and Americans. 6
