To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

After reading Joel E. Cohen's article on celestial seeds I rushed to the Nature Food Centre opposite the Cambridge Gas Company, plunked down my 79 cents, and asked the little white-haired landy behind the counter for a pound of shelled, unroasted, unsalted sunflower seeds. She gave me a bagful, saying in a quavering voice that it was her last, as there had been a peculiar run on the market.

My roommate and I roasted the seeds just as Mr. Cohen directed and let me tell you: did they ever taste terrible. Was this another of those Crimson jokes? Well, we didn't think it was very funny! My roommate had to have her stomach pumped out. This is just the sort of irresponsibility that is typical of the CRIMSON and that brings Harvard into disrepute.

If other readers, deceived as we were, really want to taste something good, let them try Natural (i.e. undyed) Giant Monarch Pistachio Nuts. The best I have found may be bought at Russ and Daughters on Houston street in New York. In the meantime, cancel my subscription. Mr. Cohen should be ashamed of himself. Lerna S. Katz '66
