To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

It would seem to the poor unacquainted reader of the CRIMSON that the various pseudo-politicos concerned with the Fisher-HYRC case have so involved themselves in charges and counter-charges that the salient point of importance in the affair has become obscured. The members of this University who voted for Mr. Fisher and who vote for other campaigners expect themselves to be represented by those who seek their vote. If Mr. Fisher and the members of the YRC planning committee had been less concerned with their politics, whatever politics 19-year-old sophomores can be sure of in their own minds, they might have realized that neither the HYRC had any right to campaign for and/or dictate to a representative of the N.S.A., nor Mr. Fisher had any right to allow himself at any time to become private spokesman for a private organization on N.S.A. Mr. Fisher campaigned and was elected a student representative on N.S.A. It should have been his job to represent all of us. George A. Furness, Jr. '51
