I do not intend to prolong
debate over University Union
practices in past years: Few of your
readers, I imagine, have been
edified by this "in" discussion,
marked as it has been by personal
references to students no longer in
the University.
Your editorial note appended to
the recent letter of Mr. Shipley,
however, requires comment. The
editors of your paper have an
ethical obligation to use the potent
weapon of the editorial note with
scrupulous fairness. Your response
to the Shipley letter, I submit, was
name-calling and an egregious abuse
of the editorial prerogative. We
have, I hope, seen the last of such
rebuttals to the letters appearing in
your columns.
