To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I am not sure what the CRIMSON's interpretation of a "battle" is, but it is different from mine. I was under the impression that the Registrar's Office and the Office for Advanced Standing were working in quite good harmony.

In addition I am saddened by a flagrant breach of trust of your reporter who came to my office for information and help. My first conversation with him was without the knowledge that he was your reporter. When he returned clearly stating that he was doing a story, I made it utterly plain that the only person who could speak for the Registrar was the Registrar, that the information I had given him was personal advice, and that I was not to be referred to or quoted. All three conditions have been disregarded in your story "Bureaucratic Bungling" in the CRIMSON of October 2.

In view of this I suppose it seems superfluous to add that I am erroneously quoted, and your reporter's own interpretation added.

[It is unfortunate that my references to Mrs. Butterfield were not vague enough to keep her from being identified.

I made it perfectly clear to Mrs. Butterfield at our first meeting that I was a CRIMSON reporter who was going to write this story. Evidently, my Interpretation of our Advanced Standing discussion differed from hers.
