EDIFYING SPECTACLES
THE MAIL
To the Editors of The Crimson:
I read with no little disgust your boxing match account of 26 March entitled "Smith Tops Alicea in Harvard Club Tilt." In this particular instance, the prepetuation of the inimitable macho barbarism of these United States by the ruling orders lacks even the usual G-string Harvard is so accomplished at weaving. But I wonder--what next? Under the benevolent leer of Derek Bok's official portrait what edifying spectacles shall we be treated to anon? Live fornication shows, nude female wrestling, bear baiting, cock fights, gladiatorial contests--my Lord, the mind fairly boggles!
From accomplishment to arrogance to decadence, the Harvard picture lacks only one thing--downfall--needful for its completion. Peter L. Collins '71
