...Crimson incorrectly reported yesterday that College officials met with members of the Pi Eta Speakers Club's Alumni Board. In fact, Dean of the College John B. Rus Jr. '59 merely talked with members on Tuesday...
...hullabaloo over the possible closing of the Pi Eta Speakers Club--following disclosure of an in-house newsletter deemed "bad taste" by some, incitement to rape by others--there has been much talk about "right" specifically, the right of the club to free expression, to be defended against University punishment and Undergraduate Council reprimand...
...Eta is a group of Harvard undergraduates (believe it or not, they are just like you) who are utilizing one of Harvard's many extra-curricular activities. These men are not alcoholics, they do not have sick minds, and they do not, above all, condone rape. These charges are totally unjustified. Still, it was very difficult for me to write this letter because of the futility of the situation. The Crimson, the Radcliffe Union of students, and the Undergraduate Council have blown this event so far out of proportion that I cannot see how any Harvard-Radcliffe student or administrator...
Finally, the Pi Eta is wrongly being accused of harassment. In fact, I call the treatment that the Pi has received harassment. The members and their guests had to tolerate the heckling of the protestors on Saturday night, and the club has been publicly embarrassed in both regional and national news publications. One undergraduate suggested that the Pi Eta be "razed to the ground and burnt." (And we are the ones with sick minds?) This is totally unacceptable and must be stopped.

As a result of a private parody intended solely for club members, we have suffered extensive and irreparable defamation of character.

Maybe if these other organizations could step down from their soap boxes long enough, they would be able to discern reality from an unwarranted crusade. Thank you. Michael Travaglini...
