5800 Will Register For Summer School

More than 5800 students from high schools, colleges and graduate schools around the globe will register tomorrow for the Harvard summer school, according to the summer school registrar's office.

The international flavor of the summer school student body is unmistakable. Typically, about one quarter of summer enrollees are from overseas.

The number of registrations is "about the same" as in previous years, according to Christopher S. Queen, dean of students for the summer school.

But other aspects of summer school will change from years past. Because of yard renovations, many high school students, traditionally confined to the Yard where they may be more easily watched, will live in Lowell House. These students will also occupy six yard dorms.

James W. Coveney Jr., superintendent in Lowell House, said the house had made a few special preparations for the arrival of the younger students, including provisions to keep the glass door at the entrance closed at all times.

"We're working to make this as comfortable as it can be," said Coveney. "Aside from that, the summer school [administration] is basi- cally running the program."

The river houses will host all summer school students. Dunster, Leverett, Eliot and Kirkland Houses will be home for college-aged students. Summer school enrollees who are age 25 or older will live in Adams House.

The National Weather Service expects highs in the 80s for tomorrow's opening day, although thunder-storms will threaten in the afternoon. Forecasts, predictably, call for dry skies inside Memorial Hall, where registration will be held.

Security

Security has been a concern during previous summer sessions. Queen wrote proctors a letter last summer asking them to caution students after a person who was convicted in 1991 of raping two summer school students was released.

Queen said that proctors and senior staff have been made aware of appropriate security measures, and there will be an all-night guard service in both the Yard and the houses.

"Last year, we didn't have any security problems," Queen said. "I think we're pretty well covered with what we have.
