To the Editors of The Crimson:
The perfect Director of Admissions would be like Phil Donahue, Director of Financial Aid James S. Miller suggests. Miller thinks that the new Director should be sensitive to issues of race and gender (Crimson, Sept. 23).
I agree. Here at Harvard we hear a lot about diversity, but we don't see enough of it. For example, there are about three males for every two female undergraduates--essentially the same ratio as when I joined the freshman class in 1978.
The perfect Director of Admissions would, to my mind, do Phil Donahue one better. Why discount the possibility that the new Director is a member of a minority group--or a woman? It would be a good first step towards the fulfillment of much-promised diversity. Nancy Page '82 Harvard Law School '87
