To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
It was refreshing at last to read a relatively unbiased CRIMSON account of SDS activities. I refer to the April 26th report of the address given by G. Menen Williams on America's Congo policy. Until this time, editorial opinion has not been limited to the editorial page, as it should be. The CRIMSON'S complete espousal of the SDS-May 2 line has degenerated into a starkly outlined and starkly unrealistic "good guys vs. bad guys" cliche--the very same sin ascribed by it to those who disagree. It should be evident that in such a situation no side can be all right or all wrong. The problem is too complex and confusing to allow such a simplistic view.
I do not question the intelligence, sincerit, or depth of commitment of these groups or of the CRIMSON, but simply their unrealistic approach to a highly perplexing set of questions. Theodore M. Hammett '67
