...honest, Playboy panders to the lacivious interests of adolescent boys who want to look at the bunny strip, show lots of breast and bend over a chair. Look, you can masturbate in front of the anonymous Miss March and now you can in front of a junior from Harvard. "Miss Harvard could you turn to the left a little more, I can't get enough of a shot of your breasts...
...when The Crimson voted not to run the Playboy ad, did it stifle free speech; did it stifle free, informed discussion of the issues raised by the Women of the Ivy League Issue? It appears not, as the debate on this page and the article on the news page of The Crimson today indicates. More, the Playboy ad does not in any way promote informed discussion of the issue...
Indeed, if depiction of evil were the best way to point out that we should avoid evil, then The Crimson should fold and attempt to turn itself into the Salient or a party newspaper for the KKK, Playboy, the Nazis and every other evil in our society that we can think of.

Just as we would have followed Martin Luther King Jr. into racist Chicago suburbs, we will follow a women's rights activist into David Chan's Holiday Inn room and we will follow a woman who wants $500 into his room and try to report her view...
There is no great evil in Playboy, no Satan lurking in its messages. Nor is there an attempt to purify and protect society in The Crimson's decision not to run the ad. Simply, we could not tacitly support something which was so abhorrent to the majority of Crimson editors. We would not dare to insult Blacks by running an ad suggesting that they come to work in the diamond mines in South Africa, and we will not insult the women and men on The Crimson who regarded it that seriously...
