The Ad Board has also punished students caught shoplifting in the Coop. But this practice is expected to end sometime this year, when the Coop will probably begin turning student shoplifters over to the police.

In the past, Watson's office has handled student housing, supervised undergraduate organizations, and set rules for Harvard's final clubs.

Administration officials declined comment earlier this month until the appointments are actually made.

Presidency Search

The individuals most frequently suggested as successors to President Pusey, who is retiring next June, are John W. Gardner, former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and S. I. Hayakawa, the acting president of San Francisco State College who is noted for his strong reactions against student radicalism.

These suggestions as well as about 600 others came in response to the 200,000 letters for advice in replacing Pusey sent out by the Harvard Corporation last spring.

Gardner, a liberal who has been head of the Urban Coalition and is now involved with a so-called "Third Force" political movement, gets most of his support from faculty members.

According to a story in the Boston Globe August 10, Hayakawa's popularity among alumni has disappointed several Harvard officials who are involved in the selection process.

"This shows the depth of disaffection of some of our alumni to what's been going on," one said last month. "And it shows the real misunderstanding of the alumni for what Harvard needs in new leadership at this juncture."

University officials say that Gardner and Hayakawa are just two of the 600 names being considered.

The selection committee is now narrowing this list down to about 100 names as the firs phase of the selection process which they hope to complete by Christmas.

Harvard plans to talk to various student, faculty, and alumni groups this Fall in narrowing down the present list of candidates to a small list of top choices.

Members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers will make the final decision.

The search for Pusey's successor has already caused the selection committee some problems. In his letter to alumni, Francis Burr, Senior Fellow of the Corporation, referred to the next President as "a man generally acceptable to the Harvard community."

This, and another reference to "a man" caused reaction among Radcliffe women who are concerned about sexism in the selection process. Burr has since stressed that his word choice was inadvertent and that several women are on the list of 600 candidates.
