To the Editor:
While I certainly sympathize with the impulse behind Dan Balserak's screed, "Thumbs Up For Collars Down," (The Dartmouth, September 21) I must say I was surprised and saddened to see Phi Delta Alpha listed as a repeat offender. If a Phi Delt were to be apprehended in a pastel shirt with the collar popped forth -- and I can't say memory serves -- we would ridicule him, or, more to the point, beat him.
The way to best describe the apparel at Phi Delt would not be "preppy" or "collars-up" or even "ridiculously sweet," but "grim."
