Reilly, who said he has worked in Harvardlibrary security for several years, said Mondaynight that warnings such as the one observed byThe Crimson are issued quite infrequently--lessthan once a year.
But curiously, the memo had been removed fromthe library entrances by yesterday morning--eventhough a police officer interviewed yesterday saidthe situation had not been resolved.
A source said the memos have been placed indrawers at the library entrance.
Checkers have been instructed not to speak withThe Crimson about the matter, the source added.
One checker was approached yesterday morning atthe entrance to Lamont from Pusey Library.
When this reporter identified himself as aCrimson representative, the checker interruptedbefore questioning could begin.
"I know what you're here for," she said, "and Idon't know anything."
Even Reilly refused to answer any questionsyesterday.
He issued a "no comment" reply to more thanhalf a dozen questions--including questions towhich he responded freely earlier in the week.
And other University officials are equallytight-lipped about the case.
Fennelly said he had no comment about the case,as did a representative from the office of generalcounsel.
Meanwhile, Stanford, Rooney and Lt. Lawrence J.Murphy did not return several phone calls thisweek.
Cole himself did not return two phone callsthis week.
A curatorial assistant at Pusey said no memohad been sent to the library.
And Mary M. Gaylord, chair of the RomanceLanguages and Literature Department with whichCole was affiliated as a graduate student, saiddidn't know anything about the case.
