WHILE WE MAY, as individuals, concur with some of the points set forth in the majority position, we do not believe that it adequately describes the internal process by which advertisements are accepted or rejected. It is true that The Crimson occasionally holds meetings, which all staff members may attend, to discuss running certain ads which our advertising manager determines may present problems. It is also true that some staff members at the meeting where a majority of those present rejected the Screw magazine ad voted against it for reasons set forth in the majority position. Crimson readers should not be led to think, however, that the reasons for rejection stated in the majority position constitute The Crimson's advertising policy. In fact, the Crimson has no ad policy other than to reject all ads for cigarettes. Because The Crimson lacks an explicit advertising policy, it is impossible to accurately articulate the reasons for rejecting the Screw ad and inappropriate to attempt to do so. The Crimson would be judicious to determine clearly stated criteria for accepting and rejecting ads before articulating a position in an editorial.
