A BELATED REPLY

In yesterday's mail column, Rabbi Ben-Zion Gold criticized a story on his talk at Currier House written by Stephen J. Chapman (The Crimson, October 3). Rabbi Gold denied in the letter that he said he "would like to see Memorial Church administered by three different religious leaders." Below, Chapman replies.

During the meeting in question, Rabbi Gold expressed disappointment at the failure of the University to accept the Stendhal plan, which would have established a three-person Board of Preachers (consisting of a Protestant minister, a Jewish rabbi, and a Catholic priest) having jurisdiction over Memorial Church and all religious affairs of the University. The plan also recommended that the Church "be available--if desired--as the space and base for all the Preachers to the University." To insure the accuracy of my story, I asked Gold after the dinner if he would like to see the Stendhal plan implemented, to which he replied, "Damned right."
