In addition, the news staff's treatment of the confidential COFHE report attempted to reduce...

Hall '93 charged that "The Crimson has served to exacerbate tensions among racial and ethenic groups," and that the "style of reporting in which The Crimson has purposely engaged itself certainly does reveal a disturbing trend toward the discrediting of the BSA and creating and intensifying conflict...
