'Blatantly Sexist'

The Mail

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

To the Editors of the Crimson:

I found the Budweiser advertisement you ran on page eight of your Saturday, March 12th issue blatantly sexist. It was a shock to find that ad on the pages of a newspaper presided over by a woman and distributed to Radcliffe women, among the most feminist-conscious students in the country. As a former high school newspaper editor, I understand the dilemmas business and editorial interests present. But publishing that ad was unconscionable.

I hope you will persuade your advertisers to offer alternative ads so you may use discretion in future issues. Diana Shaw '80
