The Administrative Board last week reviewed the case of two Quincy House sophomores who had marijuana plants confiscated by University police. An Ad Board official, contacted yesterday, said the students were admonished and let off without punishment, but added that this action did not set a precedent for future University drug policy.
Official drug rules, as specified in the Handbook for Students, state that the University will take "severe disciplinary action" in cases involving "the sale and traffic of drugs" or "danger to the Harvard community."
The two students, Edward P. Scovell '84 and Daniel F. Voytas '84, said they were growing the plants solely as "novelty items" and had no intention of selling or using them.
Voytas, Scovell, and Dean Fox, chairman of the Administrative Board, all refused to comment yesterday, and John P. Marquand, secretary of the Board, was unavailable for comment.
