To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Apparently, the showing of four plays during one week has brought out the commercial intinets (sie) of the Winthrop (sie) House Musical (sie) Society. I do not find their colorful posters nor their fine choice of Iolanthe in poor taste; however, their use of sound track to balre their wares is most annoying and objectionable. The discontinuance of the sound track would help restore a greater element of peace and quiet to the Harvard community and would stop the dangerous precedent set in last term's blood drive, with its sound truck solicitations. Must Winthrop House continue to exploit its unfortunate captive audience, unobtrusively studying in their rooms? What shall it profit Winthrop House if it break even and surrender to modern American advertising technique? Ecrasez-Pinfame!David A. Halperin '55
