To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
In reference to your picture of me that ran in last Friday's paper, alleging that I was using a wire recorder to learn French while asleep, I can only say that you have got your facts all wrong.
1) In the first place, I did not authorize the taking of the picture. As you could see from the picture, I was asleep.
2) In the second place, I resent the implications suggested by the presence of a flask, several glasses, and a suggestive picture in the foreground of the picture.
3) In the third place I am NOT taking a French course. Thus you put me in the ridiculous position of going to sleep right out in public on the front page of your paper in order to learn something for which I will have no use.
4) In the fourth place, I deeply resent the headline: "Bookworm? No--Tapeworm! I am a sweet-tempered man, but I cannot bear in silence the totally unfounded charge of being a tapeworm. It is monstrous. T. B. Roos '51
