Bicycle Safety Drive Nets 250 Violators

In the first four weeks of a campaign to halt violations of Cambridge bicycle regulations, city police have taken the names of over 150 'Cliffies and 100 Harvard students observed breaking traffic laws.

Most of the students were reported for only one violation, according to Sgt. John E. McCarthy of the Cambridge Police Department, head of the drive. Last week, however, six second offenders--all Radcliffe students--were summoned before Judge Haven Parker, Chief Justice of the Third District Court of Eastern Middlesex. "The girls were let off with a very stern warning," McCarthy stated.

Since then, the police have recorded offenses by three more 'Cliffies, who will probably be taken to court later this month, McCarthy said.

Names of 'Cliffies breaking bicycle rules have been turned in to the college Administration. According to Mrs. Imogene O. Fish, assistant Dean of Residence, the college has made no plans to discipline the violators.

"People seem to feel that there has been marked improvement in the way students have been operating their bicycles since the safety campaign began," Mrs. Fish commented.
