Harvard Dean Warns Against Racial Incidents BOSTON, Mass. (AP)-The dean of Harvard College has warned students that anyone involved in racial in cidents faces expulsion and other disciplinary measures, but says his comments are general and not pro voked by any particular incident. In dealing with situations where harassment, discrimination or insensitivity come to light, the college is ready to respond firmly and with appropriate actions," Dean Alfred Jewett said in an open letter to the Harvard community. “In cases where physical harass ment of students by other members of the community occurs, there is a general principle that the harasser should be asked to leave the com munity,” said the letter, published recently by the student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson. The letter was issued a week after minority students at the Univerity of Massachusetts at Amherst took over a campus building to protest campus racism. The students left the building after meeting with the school chancellor. In a telephone interview, Jewett said the letter was issued to lay down principles in the wake of delibera tions with a committee on racial rela tions that was set up last year. Harvard and the committee of students and faculty members decid ed to “come out with a series of messages that would alert the com munity to problems that might exist and do exist in come communities," Jewett said. “Mine is the first state ment.” Four white students were expelled for a year last fall after frozen fruit was hurled at a black student, who later received several racially derogatory telephone calls. Jewett said, “We have had no ma jor things” outside of that incident. The decision to issue the open letter was made later, in December, but its publication was postponed until after exams. The Crimson said questions of racism were raised earlier this month after students alleged that a professor made unspecified disparag ing comments about blacks and In dians during a course called “The Peopling of America ” Harvard officials who asked to re main anonymous said they were aware of the allegations but said no investigation would be made unless a formal complaint was made. Harvard College, made up of Har vard University’s undergraduate in stitutions, has an enrollment of 6,400.

Parents who do this are, in effect, making money a substitute for love and a bribe for cooperation. Children get the wrong ideas about the purpose of money. “They develop an extreme exaggeration of the meaning of money as a symbol of love or hate," he says. i Parent-child relationships may become very strained when young people spend money on things their parents disapprove of. But they are actually “measuring their parents’ values and standards while seeking to find their own," Dr. Hawkins says. “The difficult task of that parents face is to give young people a reasonable amount of control and support at the same time,” Dr. Haw kins says.
