The Rev. Maynard Catchings&#13;

 &#13;
Dear Maynard:&#13;
Do you have any good New England students who would volunteer to do a short hitch on the Southern front? I have just returned from Koinonia Farms and was distressed to learn that one of their greatest needs at present is for some relief in keeping watch at night. A small group of Haverford College students were passing through and kept watch the night I was there and it was appreciated so very much.&#13;
Of course, such students should be fully informed as to the situation there and the dangers involved. They would also have to be committed to the non-violent approach. It occurred to me that this would be a great experience for some young existentialists who know the Southern struggle only from the press.&#13;
I will not push this, Maynard. Maybe it is a crazy idea. But If you have small groups on various campuses who could take a couple of nights each for a few weeks it would be a great relief for the residents of Koinonia and a terrific witness for the students. If you want more information on it let me know.&#13;
Are you coming to the Conference on Christian Faith and Human Relations in Nashville April 23-25? If you can make it we should like very much to have you stay with us while you are here. Let me know.&#13;
Cordially yours,&#13;
Will D. Campbell&#13;
