Different Prices at 'Tribute' InappropriateTo the Editors:
I regret that there exists at Harvard an event called a "Tribute to Black Men" (News, Feb. 4, "Johnson Honored With Vanguard Award by ABHW"). But more troubling is that a party attached to the event gave "free admision for black men arriving before 11 p.m." Do we really want to see social events with different prices for people of different races? I think racially-defined clubs, of which the 'Asian-American Christian Fellowship' is another example, create distrust in our society. Differential pricing takes the element of segregation to a worrying new level, and I wonder if it's even legal. Instead, I encourage Harvard students to welcome all kinds of other students into their social lives.
