To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I have just soon the latest issue of the so-called "funny" magazine which the Lampoon puts out, and I believe that something should be done about it. It is simply the most vulgar thing I have over seen. There are cartoons and jokes in it which are worse than anything I have over road in Esquire or the Mid-Town Journal.

I have a daughter who goes to Radcliffe and who was tricked into buying a subscription to the Lampoon on the pretext that it was a refined humor magazine. It was all right as long as it just printed those "clubby" articles and stories. But in this latest issue, they have shown that they have no inherent decency at all.

I hope that there is something that can be done about a situation like this. I, for one, am writing straight to Mr. Donaldson, the postmaster general, and I hope you will too, to see if there is any way of keeping this horrible thing from being circulated all over the country.
