The Freshman Council voted this week to ask the University Police to begin enforcing the long-standing college rule of no bicycling in the Yard.
"The rule prohibiting bicycling in the Yard hasn't been enforced, but with so many people there it's too dangerous to ignore the rule," Council President Renee Landers '77 said yesterday.
No Bicycling
The Council proposed to enforce the no bicycling rule by asking Harvard police to stop anyone riding through the Yard and to confiscate their bursars card for a "short amount of time."
F. Skiddy Von Stade Jr. '38, dean of freshmen, said that though the Yard is the freshman residential area "it is a University-wide area as well. The proposal must be discussed at every level."
Robert Tonis, chief of the University police, said that efforts to enforce the no-bicycling rule have always been ignored and that the Council's proposal will be effective only "if someone official talks to whoever gets stopped bicycling in the Yard."
