Although the new HUPD substation in Weld Hall is a positive improvement, police must do more to protect students. Police officers must patrol the streets much more vigilantly.

The threats of Ad Board action, the juvenile graffiti, the pontifications of administrators at the various Harvard computer committees are all out of proportion to the actual offense. They're putting on a show to ward off potential violators...
