To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Last night, while E. E. Cummings was continuing his "egocentric exploration of himself," dozens of would-be listeners were exploring various futile ways of gaining entrance to Sanders Theatre.

Others concocted stories about being the personal guest of Mr. Cummings. Two or three climbed the fire escapes only to find all doors firmly fastened. One enterprising young man and his date gained entrance to the basement of Memorial Hall, worked his way through a labyrinth of corridors, and finally came to a dead end when a door on the main floor wouldn't yield to his jackknife.
