I am not sure what I am more appalled at. Is it at the fact that a piece of racist slander and smut like that which was written by Memphis Jewish Student Union's Vice President Naftali Thomas and published last Friday was actually written, or at the fact that, in a show of lack of taste and journalistic propriety, that the "racist slander to the editor" was actually published by your university newspaper? I would have assumed that The Helmsman, and The University had clear policies against allowing racist propaganda and hate speech to be propagated in university fora. I am sorry to see that, whatever the guidelines may be, that they were obviously not followed.
