kSHINGTON — The Su-

the news media’s ability to
id itself against libel, nil-

tine the facts of a libel case
ciding whether to overturn
er court decision.

Student Center said she was
reading names because a ca
tastrophe like the Holocaust
could happen again if people
forget.
“It’s just to remind people
that you have to treat others
with respect,” Bachman said.
The Holocaust is com
monly said to have been from
1939 to 1945, but some histo
rians argue that it began as
early as 1933. At that time.
Hitler built the first concen
tration camps used for the
imprisonment of gypsies, ho
mosexuals, Socialists, and
other political and religious
dissidents. Whatever the
dale, 15 million people were
killed in the Holocaust, six
million of whom were Jews.
Rabbi Peter Tarlow of the
Hillel Foundation, the Jewish
Student Center, said this is
the second year students have
read the names of victims in
observance of Yom Ha’shoah.
“It would he impossible to
forget that that many people
were killed for the crime of
being born,” Tarlow said.
“He who forgets his past is
destined to relive it.”
Sunday night a memorial
service was held at A&M
Presbyterian Church for the
Holocaust victims. It was put
on by the Campus Ministers’
Association and attended by
representatives from local
churches and campus reli
gious organizations. Tarlow
said it was a spiritually mov
ing service with music and
prayers, such as the Kaddish,
a Jewish prayer for one who
dies. Writings of the concen
tration camp victims were
read to illustrate the
movement from despair to
hope, which was the theme of
the service.
Last night in Rudder
Tower, the Hillel Foundation
showed the movie “Genoci
de,” which was nominated for
an Academy Award. The
movie was narrated by Orson
Welles and Elizabeth Taylor.
It told the story of the Holo
caust, focusing on early Jew
ish history and the events that
led to the mass murder of
Jews and others whom Hitler
deemed not part of the Aryan
race.
Appeals examined the facts of
the case and overturned the
lower court because the evi
dence did not show Consumers
Union acted with actual malice.
Six high court justices
agreed.
Newspaper and broadcast
groups cheered the ruling,

Court’s landmark 1964 ruling.

at the U.S. Circuit Court of
which comes after a decade of
Supreme Court decisions ex
panding the ability of public fig
ures to sue for libel.
“The Supreme Court has af
firmed resoundingly the critical
need for cool, dispassionate ap
pellate scrutiny of jury verdicts
against the press,” said Bruce
Sanford, a Washington libel
lawyer.
Media groups had feared
they would have less legal pro-
pendent examinations of facts
in libel cases.
Writing for the court Mon
day, Justice John Paul Stevens
said that, in cases involving the
First Amendment, appeals
court judges “must exercise in
dependent judgment and de
termine whether the record es
tablishes actual malice with
convincing clarity.”
The 20-year-old New York
Times ruling, Stevens said, “re
flects a deeply held conviction
that judges — and particularly
members of this court — must
exercise such review in order to
preserve the precious liberties
established and ordained by the
Constitution.”
But Justice William Relin
quish in dissent, said it is un
likely appeals court judges
“with only bare records before
them” can determine the facts
with any more precision than a
trial judge.
Justices Sandra Day O’Con
nor and Byron White also dis
sented.
In another libel matter, the
court let stand a ruling that said
a newspaper reporting on a
crime can use the name and
criminal record of a person not
involved in the matter but con
victed in a similar case decades
earlier.
The justices refused to hear
an appeal from a Las Vegas
man who sued the Las Vegas
Review Journal because he was
mentioned in a 1978 story
about the slaying of a policeman
even though he had no connec
tion to the case.

The 1950s come alive
through
By LOUIS HILGARTNER
Staff Writer
You would have thought it
was 1955.
Ellas McDaniel, alias Bo Did-
dley, took Dr. G's on a trip back
in time Monday night and
thrilled the capacity crowd with
his distinctive brand of rock 'n'
roll.
Getting off to a bit of a late
start, Diddley's band per
formed a couple of songs, in
cluding "Pretty Baby," to get
things warmed up. Some minor
technical difficulties were
quickly cleared up as Diddley
took the stage and the rocking
commenced.
Wielding his custom square
Diddley
guitar, Diddley wasted no time
in getting the audience on its
feet.
While performing his greatest
hit "I'm A Man," Diddley wrap
ped the crowd around his little
finger. Interspersing the song
with an instrumental 'conversa
tion' with guitarist Scott Smith
and bassist Ron Haughbrook
and changing the lyrics to "Shut
Up Woman," Diddley launched
the crowd into hysterics.
Tammy McDaniel, Diddley's
daughter, was an impressive
drummer and kept the rhythm
section going strong.
The band was very tight,
playing all their songs without
any loose ends or dissonant va-
s music
nations.
It was clear that throughout
the show the Number One
Priority was to have a good
time. During the song "Shake,"
the audience was on its feet —
shaking.
Diddley closed the regular set
of his first performance with "I
Slipped And Fell In Love," and
had the crowd singing along.
This is an age where concerts
and tours are multi-million dol
lar "projects," often involving
hundreds of people — with the
primary goal of selling albums.
It is refreshing to see a band
with the primary goal of having
fun.
