To the editors:
Yesterday’s article about the upcoming magazine, H Bomb, misrepresented the goals of our organization (News, “Committee Approves Porn Magazine,” Feb. 11).
H Bomb is not porn. As stated in our proposal to the Committee on College Life (CCL), which was readily available to anyone interested, it is a literary arts magazine about sex and sexual issues at Harvard. It will contain fiction, features, poetry, and art.
Both male and female students will appear nude in photography portions of the magazine, but that is not the main focus of the magazine. We aim to create a forum for an honest discussion of sex on campus. Granted, the issue of nudity was of most concern to the CCL and was discussed most extensively at the meeting.
We hope that people understand the misrepresentation that has occurred and are neither offended nor expecting a porn magazine to come out in May.
