To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Your story of Dec. 14, 1966, "Prison Officials Drop PBH Play" unfortunately presents an incomplete picture of the situation. In fact, the play was cancelled because it was not an appropriate choice for the prison, especially since it contained only three male roles and more inmates wanted to participate. An alternative is already under consideration and we plan to produce it in the near future. Had your reporter checked with us, the picture she presented would have been more balanced. Bill Schaefer, Chairman, Ron Rotunda, Vice Chairman The Prisons Committee
