To the Editors of the Crimson:
In your printing of my letter on September 30th, one little mistake changed the entire sense and sentiment of my concluding paragraph. My penultimate sentence reads, "Should Harvard then put its weight behind the political aspirations of the Black majority, or will it remain the discreet quisling of the Boer regime?" The Crimson, by substituting "Bok" for "Boer," is replacing my focus on a hegemonic group and putting attention on an individual. This is exactly the historical gestalt my letter opposes. I do not equate Harvard University with the "Bok regime" (whatever that is). The administration is not Harvard University. Students, staff and alumni are together responsible for Harvard's collaboration with apartheid. Together we share the responsibility to divest. Richard H. Drayton '86
The Crimson apologizes for the error.
