Yalies who think that happiness is a can of blue paint and a paint brush are going to have a sad weekend.
Robert Tonis, chief of the University Police, said yesterday that he had posted additional men around the Yard to apprehend anyone attempting to color Harvard blue. "If anyone tries anything, we'll get him," warned Tonis.
"We always figure they'll go for John Harvard," Tonis said, refering to the statue outside University Hall. "But Widener was a big surprise. That was a very sick thing to do."
Last year six Yalies painted "BEAT HARVARD" in blue letterss six feet high on the columns in front of Widener Library. The cost of water-blasting the paint off the columns exceeded $1000.
