SUMMERTHING

To the Editors of the Crimson:

In your October 23 edition of the Crimson, in an article written by Patti B. Saris, the author says that Mrs. Hicks wants to make Summerthing concerts free. To set the record straight, all Summerthing events are already free and have been so since Mayor White introduced the summer-long festival in the city in 1968. The concerts which Mrs. Hicks is really referring to are called "Sunset Series on the Common" and were conceived last Spring to help make money for Summerthing in order that it might put on more free events in Boston neighborhoods.

Now that that's straight. I want to commend Miss Saris on her well-written and excellent analysis of the forthcoming election, and I hope her prediction of a White victory will come true. Lewis A. Carter, Jr.   Public Relations Director   Summerthing
