2 Harvard in radiation e By College Press Service Harvard University announced in early January that it has put together a "working group" to investigate Harvard's involvement with radiation experiments conducted by Harvard scientists on human subjects in the 1940s and 1950s. "We want to know the full nvtAnt nrKot hinnono/1 " rii d vAivin ui wiidi ua^^iiv,u, ^aiu Joseph Wrinn, a Harvard spokesman. "Our reaction is to find every piece of information. A sincere effort is going on here." Wrinn discussed the published experiments performed by the late Clemens Benda, a Harvard Medical School professor, on retarded students at the Fernald state school in Waltham, Mass. The experiments have been cited in media reports about government-sponsored radiation tests on human subjects in the 1940s and '50s. Fernald residents who participated in the experiments were euphemistically called members of the "Science Club." They were fed radioactive milk and given radioactive iron supplements but weren't told about the radiation, according to experts who have reviewed the studies. The students were reportedly awarded for their participation with candy. "Harvard will not defend what appears to have happened," Wrinn said. "Nobody is going to defend something like that."

Wrinn said he couldn't discuss the working group. He declined to give its size, say who its members are or say if any of its members are Medical School faculty. He did say the group includes "Somebody familiar with how to find information at the Medical School." The fact-finding effort, Wrinn said, has been hindered because the documents detailing the experiments have been poorly maintained and are stored in various locations. "There isn't one central place to find things out," he said. "There's no efficient way to study the records. They're poorly kept. People have an impression that Harvard can just throw a switch and every record from every time will appear. So it is very, very difficult to get a clear picture of what this is. "You try to find specific facts related to reports in the newspaper, but we have not found anything specific in our research that would cause any additional concern." ire* nfnim fir ? o Jr ZEEnMEnM ?y musing ? 5 together sa" tar ath similar interests can live in ( l11 floors together. rag po Stanford University fo^ k* Vegetarian house COJ 'Native American mc !|| African-American ah' |?| ' Asian-American ;| bu jlf Mexican-American an< Dartmouth College hr- ' NatiVe Anferican .. | Scr | Florida State University thc ^ ' Women majoring In ^ ?= math, science and tiv engineering do Source: College Press Service ser li Matt Alford and Chris Muldrow/The Gamecock Long's Convience Store next to Lizard's Thicket J j Valentine's Special pon must accompany purchase BMBh] ily Rock Gym" J A ithlebic Club II k:MM t * Juice Bar C robic Classes : Mountaineering lub St. 256-9001 WORKOUT H w Club With Coupon IDic 6amecock Who's the fool?
