Winthrop House Allston Burr Senior Tutor Gregory Mobley, however, says that the Ad Board is in touch with college life and is primarily concern with students' health.
"The Ad Board is not a bunch of teetotalers," says Mobley. "We do have a vital interest in keeping everyone safe until they grow up."
"In fact, much of what the Ad Board does is to find a way to work within the rules of the College to help students," he says.
A first-year says the College can best serve its students by being honest regarding its policy on medical confidentiality.
"They have to tell you one way or another, but it has to be the truth," he says.
"I hope people are re-thinking their behavior [these are] not new policies [but] I certainly intend to remind students of what these policies are." --Dean of Harvard College Harry R. Lewis '68
