Letter Bearing Swastika Shocks HLS First-Years

Anonymous flier found stuffed in Harkness Commons mailboxes

“Nothing like this has happened that I’m aware of since I’ve been here,” said third-year law student Deidre A. Downes, a vice-president of the BLSA. “This is the first time that I’ve ever seen any blatant racism at the Law School. It’s really disturbing.”

“[Anti-Semitism] has certainly never happened to me in anything like this form,” Nesson said.

Camara said last night that he did not author the flier students received yesterday. He also e-mailed his section to say that he had not written the flier.

“I’m not the author. I don’t know who the author is. I disapprove of how the author is phrasing their ideas,” Camara said.

Twelve students from the section declined to comment on the flier, saying that they did not want to get involved with the issue.
