To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Dean of Admissions Chase Peterson was reported in the Herald Traveler, Sunday, March 7, as having said,"... from talking to gals, except for those who want to talk theoretically about women's liberation, the minority sex status is not a concern to them. I haven't had a Harvard or Radcliffe student tell me that ratio numbers are important."
We do not find it surprising that Dean Peterson does not know that students object to the ratio for women at Harvard, even though it has been well publicized that 1200 students have signed a petition requesting a 50-50 admissions ratio for the class entering in 1972-73. Last week, we asked him to come talk with us later this month because we wanted to share our ideas on an equal admissions ratio with him. According to his secretary, Dean Peterson was too busy with admissions for the coming year to talk until May. Is it any wonder that this dean doesn't know what students think?
