...Crimson's decision--whatever that decision has been--with the efforts of Jean Genet or martin Luther king Jr. ("The Crimson's Hubris") is rather breathtaking. Yet in one important sense there is a common denominator--Genet and King confronted power and rejected its claims. Does Michael W. Hirschorn really mean to suggest that waving Playboy's flag--while taking its cash--could be somehow equivalent...

Hirschorn '86 of Dunster House and New York, NY; and Thomas J. Winslow '87 of Eliot House and Cleveland, OH.

Hirschorn also received an honorable mention for his "Opinion Factories," which appeared this October in the Crimson's weekly magazine, What Is To Be Done...

Aside from the tasteless ad hominem nature of these pieces, and their failure to draw any distinction between the Salient and the Republican and Conservative clubs, they all display fundamental ignorance of the issues at hand. To begin with, the Crimson writers can not seem to distinguish between the national security policies and the human rights policies of the U.S. government.

The editorial asserts that this is simply meant to "confuse the issue," and Hirschorn asserts that the approach is a ploy, to distract from the fact that conservatives can not argue the issue of divestment on its own merits. To the contrary, the Salient has printed lengthy, reasoned articles on why divestment from South Africa is a counter-productive gesture, but they have never elicited any response.
