To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Though somewhat irate and overlegalistic, Mr. Altman's letter to the Cambridge Police Chief brings to light a practice of the Cambridge Police which I have also found rather disturbing. From my own personal experience in the past six years, I have found that usually only students' and out-of-state cars are visibly ticketed.
This practice of the Cambridge Police, or at least of the individual police officers, could be explained two ways:
1. It is due to a deliberate discrimination against Harvard students.
2. It is due to the fact that the Cambridge Police does not visibly ticket Massachusetts cars, but rather mails these tickets directly to the Massachusetts owners.
I think that an official explanation by the Cambridge Police Chief would do much to clear up this disturbing situation. Milan C. Kerno '54, 3L.
