Offended

To the Editors of The Crimson:

In your piece on the Spring Play Auditions (February 1, 1986), you state on page 5, "Marya R. Cohn...described common casting at the Loeb this past week as `obscene,' comparing it to an Indian square."

As students from India, we find the analogy extremely offensive, thoughtless, and ill-informed. "Squares" in India may be densely populated, but we fail to see how that makes them obscene. And why the reference to "New Delhi" on page 1 ?

At the University which prides itself on maintaining warm relationships with international students, we feel you should be more careful about what you print. Nalini Ambady   Shobhaba Narasimhan   Sharmita Natarajan
