Throughout the summer, the national media exposed the CIA's 25-year attempt to control human behavior, and Harvard was not left untainted. CIA records released under the Freedom of Information Act disclosed that during the '50s the CIA funded experiments with LSD at a Harvard-affiliated hospital, experiments that were performed by Harvard-affiliated researchers on college students, including some from Harvard.

Details about the experiments' subjects were not available. Kyio Morimoto, associate director of the Bureau of Study Council who was one of the researchers, said he and the other researchers in the Massachusetts Mental Hospital study were unaware of the money's source.

The CIA channelled the money for this project and many others through the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, and the Boston researchers--who were interested in the use of LSD in understanding and treating schizophrenia--did not know the agency was involved, he said. All the results were published anyway, he added.

Discrimination in the Police Department?

Jean White, a black and the only woman on Harvard's police force, was fired this summer because of what the police department called inexcusable absences. White charges that the department was looking for any excuse to fire her, and has filed her claims with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. She has the support of the Police Association.

I Scream

Steve's Ice Cream, long renowned as the source of the best ice cream in the area, is under new management. Stephen Herrell, the store's founder, sold it to Joseph Crugnale of Somerville, and he says he feels as if he'd been through a divorce. But before you melt in despair, take heart: Crugnale promises neither the ice cream nor the name will change.

Security Guards May Be Replaced

Under a long-range plant that has already been implemented at the Quad Houses, Harvard may replace its entire force of College building guards with lower-paid, non-unionized members of the Student Security Patrol. However, management spokesmen said the police department will only replace guards with students as members of the police force retire or leave--no one, they promised, will be laid off to make way for students.

1618 New Faces in the Yard

The freshman dean's office expects 1617 new faces the day the Class of 1981 registers--with an all-time low male-female ratio of 1.86-1--but really, it will see 1918 new people. One of them will be Henry C. Moses, the new dean of freshmen. He said this summer he is looking forward to the challenge of breaking into Harvard's traditional bureaucracy, as well as the challenge of meeting and dealing with the problems of the other 1617 freshpeople. ***

It was, when all is said and done, a typical Cambridge summer.
