Campaigning politicians at
A&M will not be censored
By PHYLLIS PONDER
Battalion Reporter
Despite rumors to the contrary,
politicians campaigning at Texas
A&M University will not be denied
the right to campaign on campus
because of political affiliation.
A spokesman for the Political
Forum had heard there was to be an
issue discussed at Monday night’s
meeting of the MSC Council con
cerning the limitations or qualifica
tions to be met by a political speaker
in order for him to speak at Texas
A&M. Ray Daniels, MSC council
president, said there was no such
issue on the agenda.
If there is any limitations of
speakers, it is because of scheduling
problems, Daniels said.
There are guidelines set by the
MSC Council, Daniels said, that are
designed not only to benefit the
committee responsible for the
speaker but also to benefit the
speaker. For example, the MSC
Council works with the Aggie
Cinema, the MSC Basement Cof
feehouse and other organizations to
make sure these groups have no
thing scheduled that could possibly
distract students from the speaker.
“If a good movie is showing across
at the Aggie Cinema, it will draw
people away,” Daniels said.
Whenever this problem of con
flicting interests arises, the MSC
Council or organization sponsoring
the speaker tries to negotiate
another date for the speech.
If the politician is campaigning,
he must give a week’s notice to set
up a date to speak.
However, a politician being paid
for his speech is usually scheduled
early in the semester at the request
of a student organization.
The council places no restrictions
on the speech itself, Daniels added.
“From a philosophical standpoint,
it is the job of the council to present
all viewpoints and let the student
decide which viewpoint he prefers,”
Daniels said.

One reason appears to be the fear that President Anwar Sadat Jji

The Arabs have always claimed Israel to be the aggressor, evtl
