To the Editors of the Crimson:

October 5th's front page story on the Institute of Politics forum entitled, "Eyewitness ot a Massacre: Tales from Tiananmen Square," was a nice description of the evening's events but for one exception.

The natural question on every person's mind that night when they left was, "What can I do now?" As your front-page article failed to mention, there was a group of persons at that meeting with the answer to that question.

Harvard Students for a Democratic China is a new campus organization dedicated to three goals: to preserve the memory of those who lived and died for democracy in China; to be a resource for the Harvard' Cambridge and Greater Boston community on the events that occurred this past spring and summer; and to be a center of attention for the pro-Democracy movement at Harvard.

Five hundred-fifty flyers were handed out after that meeting with a list of organizations and resources to answer the question, "What can I do now?" before HSDC staffers ran out. Your un-named reporter was seen holding a copy. However, many others left empty-handed.

By ignoring Harvard's own, The Crimson does an injustice to its readers--who are Harvard's own, too.

By misspelling the word "Tiananmen" in your headline and throughout your article, The Crimson adds an additional black mark to the record of what should be America's premier student daily. Joseph Kusnan '93   Harvard Students for a Democratic China
