THE BATTALION
FRIDAY, OCT. 10, 1975
Coverage
‘sterilized’
Editor:
I write to you on this occasion to
express my disappointment and
disbelief at the seemingly sterilized
treatment given by The Battalion to
the Richard Levinson lecture. The
coverage of Richard Levinson ap
peared in the Tuesday, Oct. 8 edi
tion ofThe Battalion and in my eyes,
was just that: A report on Richard
Levinson. The fact that he lectured
on the A&M campus was not even
mentioned.
Several other significant aspects
of the event were also not reported.
They include:
1. Members of the Organization of
Arab Students and the Iranian
Students Association distri
buted before the meeting, re
prints of a pamphlet entitled
“Zionist Israeli Acts of Ter
rorism 1939-1974.”
2. Levinson addressed the dis
tributors of the pamphlet
while holding a copy in his
2500 TEXAS
hand and, during the course of
his speech, justified most Is
raeli acts as anti-terrorism.
3. When the question period was
opened, it was dominated by
members of the Organization
of Arab Students and the Ira
nian Students Association who
asked him to clarify various as
pects of his lecture and to jus
tify several cases of alleged ter
rorism by Israelis. Levinson,
in several specific cases admit
ted Israeli wrong doing, but
because the Israeli govern
ment had apologized in the
■cases of civilian killing, he
would not label the acts as ter
rorist.
Tension over the controversy
was more than evident with
the Campus Police in visible
attendance and several per
sons speaking and acting while
emotionally overcome.
These events indicate more than

just Richard Levinson calmly exp
laining his expert opinion on the
subject. They represent an event.
Tuesday night the greatest public
controversy I have seen on this
campus took place in the Memorial
Student Center. For some reason
the existence of that controversy
was not reported by the university
newspaper.
I am of neither Arabic nor Islamic
heritage. I am not pro-terrorism,
and up until Tuesday evening I was,
as the average student still is, poorly
informed on the Middle East situa
tion. Members of the Organization
of Arab Students and the Iranian
Student Association made an ap
pearance at that lecture peacefully
trying to make known the plight of
the Palistinians today. Their efforts
to gain much needed exposure in
this area were only further frus
trated by the Battalion’s failure to
report the lecture as an event. For

this I am truly sorry.
Ray Daniels
A/eiv context
Editor:
I would like to point out the pre
sence of foreign students in North
American campuses in a different
context.
First of all, as everybody should
knew we are giving up many things
when we decide to come to the U. S.
to improve our education. This evi
dently proves our positive attitude
towards the University. As far as I
know, among graduate students
there are proportionally as many
outstanding foreign students as
North Americans along U.S. cam
puses.
My own experience in this uni
versity has told me how the foreign
students participate actively in the
economic, cultural and social de
velopment of this community.
During the time we live here we
develop a sense of love and respect
to this land that will be carried with
us wherever we go. In this sense
we contribute to make even greater
the name of TAM U and hence the
word AGGIE is known all over the
world.
I would like then for the U.S.
community, our faculty and staff to
reject the idea of the international
students as coming to TAMU to
steal the place of other students
here, and the false attitude of our
getting something without giving
anything. In fact we pay our fees as
everybody else.
I would rather like to see the end
of discriminatory practices and for
the international students to be con
sidered as a potential good con
tributing to the betterment of the
University and the community.
