To the Editors of The Crimson:
Harvard University has once more shown that its oft-stated non-sectarian position is merely a veneer to cloak an undisguisable anti-Jewish religious bias. The guilty party this time is the University Food Services. Today, in celebration of an ethnic holiday of a religious source, students were served "St. Patrick's Cake" during lunch. On Monday night, however, on a Jewish religious holiday, Purim, no effort was made to celebrate that festival with Hamentashen. Although an admittedly trivial case, this incident underscores those of this year's Yom Kippur registration and Christmas Dinner. What makes it especially insulting is the maintenance of a non-sectarian guise. Harvard should either recognize and admit its unequal treatment of religions or it should eliminate every semblance of inequality. Ruben George Perlmutter '79
