Under current law, Harvard administrators saidthey are not sure whether non-forcible or forciblecrimes need to be reported.

According to the Campus Security Act (CSA)signed into law in 1990, only forcible crimes mustbe included on crime statistics.

However, HUPD spokesperson Peggy A. McNamarasaid the department routinely lists all forcibleand non-forcible crimes in their statistics, "justto be safe."

The exclusion of crimes reported toadministrators from statistics troubles someUniversity officials, who say student ought to bemade aware of any violent crimes on campus.

But the campus' top law enforcement officer,Francis D. "Bud" Riley, said HUPD's primaryresponsibility is to the victims of crimes, andtheir privacy when necessary.

"The whole system is geared towards support ofthe victim," he says.

James H. Rowe III '73, Harvard's vice presidentfor government and community affairs, said theUniversity does not intend to block anylegislation, but said he hopes that any provisiongoverning crime reporting will be carefully"thought through."

Discretion

After a wild night at the Spee final club, astudent, who wishes to remain anonymous, collapsedin a drunken heap on the sidewalk bordering Mt.Auburn Street in front of Schoenhoff's ForeignBookstore.

"I kind of got screwed up a little bit," thepopular first-year recalls.

Friends say HUPD officers discovered thestudent and fished through his pocket, seeking toidentify him.

They found a fake identification card alongwith the student's Harvard ID. Officers thengingerly carried him across the street toUniversity Health Services.

He was treated and released the next morning.

HUPD officers filed a report about thestudent's exploits, a report which was forwardedto the Freshman Dean's Office (FDO).

The student was brought before the Ad Board forhis late-night revelry, but he says the HUPD didnot charge him with any crime.
