The BSA was cited as hypocritical for objecting to last year's Confederate flag hangers as "offensive" (a position which The Crimson supported) while not recognizing Leonard Jeffries as offensive.

While it is true that The Crimson designates only one of its 12 College beat reporters specifically to cover minority issues, the other 11 also frequently cover minority issues and events. Managing Editor Maggie S. Tucker will explain some of The Crimson's staffing and coverage policies in a signed editorial on Monday.

Richard A. Primus '92 immediately brought to our attention the serious error we made in writing the blow-up quote. We apologized as soon as space was available, and printed two letters from SAS members that day.

The Crimson apologizes to members of these groups who feel that they have been misquoted--and also to professors, athletes, dining hall workers and anyone else who does. However, we stand by the Zaheer Ali quote.

As for the AAA height requirement, Haewon Hwang '95, the fashion show organizer, told our reporter Betty Cung '95 that there was a height requirement to fit the clothes to be modeled. Later, Hwang told Crimson staffer June Shih '94 that the requirement was more a loose "guideline."

Finally, we apologize to La O for the error. Next week, we will print a staff editorial in response to these criticisms and those of S. Allen Counter and Natosha O. Reid '93.
