A trustee of the Harvard Lampoon John P.C. Train '50, is displeased with the sexual explicitness of the National Lampoon, and said yesterday that as a trustee he has a contractual agreement allowing him to exercise control over the magazine's content.
Train described the National Lampoon as "hard porn" and said the magazine is damaging the name "Lampoon."
Matty Simmons, chairman of the National Lampoon, yesterday confirmed that the Harvard Lampoon is allowed to censor National Lampoon material, if the National Lampoon is causing damage to Harvard Lampoon or to the University.
Simmons added that "it is inconceivable that we would allow anyone to dictate editorial policy to us."
