The Daily Princetonian (11\/5\/84) \u2013 Letter to the Daily Princetonian<\/p>\n

NO MORE \u2018PRINCE\u2019<\/p>\n

By E. Randol Schoenberg (\u201988)<\/p>\n

To the Chairman:<\/p>\n

I suspect that the \u201cPrince\u201d will receive many letters in response to Charles Huber\u2019s column (Oct. 26) proposing a 15 per cent Jewish and three per cent minorities quota. I, however, do not I intend to dispute Huber\u2019s claims; he doesn\u2019t deserve that much consideration. Rather, I want to respond to what I feel is irresponsible journalism on the part of the \u2018Prince\u2019.<\/p>\n

That Huber\u2019s column contained offensive Nazi sentiments does not bother me as much as the fact that the \u2018Prince\u2019 editorial board considered his views legitimate enough to put in print. I admit that a newspaper must remain objective and be open to all viewpoints, but a newspaper must also be responsible to its readers.<\/p>\n

If Huber\u2019s statistics are true, then his column suggests that the people he categorizes as \u201cJewish or minority\u201d comprise over 50 per cent of the campus readers of the \u2018Prince\u2019. A column proposing that 65 per cent of these people do not deserve to be at Princeton is more than insulting, it is infuriating. I should hope that it would be the same for those students and faculty fortunate enough not to be in Huber\u2019s \u201cBottom 50.\u201d A newspaper is being too objective when it prints a letter that offends a large majority of its readers.<\/p>\n

Would any of you continue associating with a society, group or publication which not only tolerates unsubstantiated views against you, but gives them legitimacy by espousing them in print? I suggest that those who were offended by Huber\u2019s column show their displeasure by following me in cancelling their subscription to the \u2018Prince\u2019. I hereby cancel my subscription.<\/p>\n
