"Our youth ministry exists to reachnon-believing students and their families, toconnect them with other Christians, to help themgrow in their faith," reads one quotation on theflier.

Election Commission members found 11 of theleaflets taped to suite doors in Wigglesworth,Weld, Grays, Stoughton, Holworthy and StrausHalls.

Commission members said they had no idea howmany leaflets had been distributed or who wasresponsible for their distribution.

They pledged an extensive investigation.

"Right now the commission is just in theincipient stages of what's going to be a very longnight," said Jared B. Shirck '01. "The[commission] will do everything in its capacity tofigure out who is responsible for this."

King said he did not believe any other campaignwas behind the leaflets.

"I am in no way thinking anyone in this roomwas involved with this," he said. "At least, Ihope and pray that they aren't."

King said his goal was to press on with hiscampaign, not to find and punish the offenders.

He said he believed the posting wouldstrengthen his campaign by highlighting the needfor community at Harvard.

"The tone of this posting screams religiousdiscrimination," King said. "When we talk aboutembracing diversity at Harvard, this is theantithesis of that."

Council officials condemned the fliers, whichCohen called "disgraceful."

"In my time on council, this is perhaps thething that bothered me the most," he said.

Last night the commission also levied penaltypoints against several campaigns.

The Burton and Seton campaigns were eachassessed 2 points for postering over othercandidates' posters, and Eduardo J. Dominguez'scampaign was assessed 5 points for misuse of thecouncil's copy machine.

A dollar will be deducted from each campaign's$100 budget for each point it is assessed
