Publishing the Student Arrest Story Did Not Serve The Dartmouth's Purpose

To the Editor: The decision of The Dartmouth to publish the photo and name of James McMahon '01 was both unjustified and harmful ["Freshman Faces Child Pornography Charge," April 6]. Presuming that the purpose of The Dartmouth is to serve and inform the students of Dartmouth College, the publishing of this article and photo was out of line.
