Thus, the Crimson was on firm ground when it rejected Mr. Chan's ad, which would have helped perpetuate a grave social evil--sexism. The Crimson would be on equally firm ground in rejecting Playboy subscription ads and sexist political ads which would perpetuate sexism to an equal or greater extent...
...majority perceives a distinction between dirtying the Crimson's hands by "actively" helping Playboy solicit models and simply helping Playboy to sell its magazine or its sexist point of view in promotional or political ads. This distinction, together with the majority's concern for the preservation of "free" advertising compelled them to support a policy of publishing any political ads--including those from Playboy. But the distinction is irrelevant and the concern misplaced; if the Crimson really wants to keep its hands clean it should--to the extent that financial exigencies allow--refrain from the publication of all ads which...
...disagree with the majority's judgment that Playboy's editorial treatment of women is often sexist. We did not, however, find the ad sufficiently offensive to merit an exception to our general standards of advertising acceptability.

No matter how hard the minority might protest, no matter how fervently it might agree that the Playboy life-style and philosophy are degrading, it was saddled with the label of sexist. The connection between the acceptance of an ad and the endorsement of the advertiser's beliefs and public statements is too clear, the majority said...
