...should like to correct an error which appeared in Friday's CRIMSON article on the United Anti-Draft Committee. The article states, "It will include those who oppose selective service...on political grounds such as World Federalists and YPH men." Although there are undoubtedly some World Federalists who are against the draft, and some who are for it, World Federalists do not officially either oppose it or support it. Neither the Harvard World Federalists nor the United World Federalists, the national organizations, have taken any position on this question, feeling that the main efforts of their groups should be directed...

This infinitesimal error, observable only by the most refined tests, is enough to make the telescope useless for serious astronomical purposes. Until it is removed or corrected, the distant nebulae a billion or so light-years away will keep their privacy...
...which would hardly be likely to be lured into the big city even by the prospect of a Harvard-educated prey. We realize that this nomenclatural lapse is not a matter of any great concern, except to us, but in the interest of distinguishing between ornithological prodigy and editorial error, we respectfully submit this correction...
