Crime Cut. The program has now been under way for five years, and Drs. Dole and Nyswander report in the A.M.A. Journal that in the first four of those years: "The number of criminal addicts who have been rehabilitated is enough to empty a moderate-sized jail." More than a thousand other addicts are now waiting for the treatment. Of the first 723 male patients, only 15% were employed before treatment. Within three to six months, the proportion rose to 53% at work or in school, and now hovers near 70%. An additional 20%, though not employed, are rated...
...standard treatment program begins with four to six weeks in an unlocked hospital ward, where the methadone dosage is built up, in twice-daily installments, to the blockade level. After that, the patients are discharged but required to report to a clinic regularly for at least a year-daily at first, later tapering off to once a week if they stay clean. "Clean" means that their urine samples reveal no heroin on analysis. On these visits, patients are required to drink a full dose of methadone to show that they have been taking it at home and have retained their...
...coeducational housing at Harvard and Radcliffe are the standard ones. Lecture courses and even sections aren't much of an atmosphere for the mingling of the sexes and only a lucky few are able to supplement their coed contacts in some extracurricular activity. And so, says the HPC report released last week, Harvard and Radcliffe should offer coeducational dining and housing starting with an experimental exchange next term...
...report hedges on the long-range problems of instituting mixed housing. There may be legal difficulties requiring some kind of merger between Harvard and Radcliffe, and it is not clear whether sexually segregated housing can be or ought to be retained for those who prefer it. But these are the sort of problems one hopes could be worked out during the trial period. The only trouble with the experiment itself is that it may make some undergraduates move who would rather stay put. No one should be forced to move any further than to a room in another entry...
...experiment's chances for success probably depend on how much undergraduate effort goes into organizing an exchange in the next few weeks, and on the willingness of Radcliffe officials to make the first gestures of mergerism. Even if mixed housing is not tried next term, though, the HPC report ought to alert administrators to the folly of planning the future of the Houses or mapping out schedules of Radcliffe dorm construction without intending to make either coeducational...
