Dean Wormer assures the mayor there won't be any trouble this year

The Crimson reports Harvard officials are going to do everything they can to keep freshmen from dumping a whole truckload of fizzies - and burning boats - into the Charles River next week:

Committee members at yesterday's monthly meeting approved plans to discourage the annual "River Run," which they characterized as an unsafe, alcohol-laden pseudo-tradition.

“We're trying to tell people they shouldn't do it," said Dean of Freshmen Thomas A. Dingman '67 about River Run after the meeting. "For those who blunder ahead, they will be met by law enforcement."
