The Dorenzo Co. is removing the contaminated soil from the site, said Herb Standke, the construction project manager for the DeWolfe St. buildings.

Harvard has contracted with a local construction company to build housing for either undergraduates or junior faculty members after the waste is removed, said O'Connell.

Abortion Films Shown By Women's Center

More than 80 people treked through the rain last night to view films presenting both sides of the case for keeping abortion legal.

The films, entitled "Abortion for Survival" and "Eclipse of Reason" and selected by the Radcliffe Women's Center, were intended to inspire reflection, said Rachel K. Laser '91, co-chair of the center. A half-an-hour discussion followed the films.

"The Women's Center doesn't take a political stance," said Laser. "It exists to raise consciousness and to encourage discussion."

The anti-abortion film showed a third-trimester abortion to back up the concept that abortion is murder. The pro-choice film adressed the inevitability of abortion whatever its legal status and commented on the improvement nation's health statistics since the procedure became legal in 1976.

"It's unfortunate that the two films didn't seem to speak to each other, but neither do the two sides," said Laser.

But Laser and co-chair Kathy L. Strobos '91 encouraged the exchange of ideas between both factions by breaking up debates that developed between individuals.

Discussion included input from both sides of the issue, along with a little slander. "I am amazed at how well we're talking because we're even considering other people's ideas," Jacqueline H. Sloan '90 said to those assembled.

"The fact that pro-lifers spoke out means that this was a success," Laser said.
