Roberts said he felt the University was standing on weak ground. Three similar cases have been tried in different courts and in all three cases the courts have handed down rulings similar to the 5th Circuit Court’s ruling, Roberts said. The decision of the regents to ap peal the decision was not unex pected, Roberts and Coleman said. The meaning of the First Amend ment is clear and well-established, Coleman said. Coleman also said he credited the CSS for their persistence in pursu ing the matter. “Rarely have I seen a group so courageous,” he said. GSS is not yet a recognized on- campus organization, and Roberts said they will not be recognized until the Supreme Court makes a final de cision. The System’s prolonged battle will not endanger the future of GSS, Roberts said. In fact, because the University has battled the case up the legal ladder, the court’s ruling has set legal precedents in five states, he said. (Iggk JHaijefs Card files help groups find lecturers By LAUREN FLOURNOY Reporter COUPON TAMU STUDENTS COUPON Present this coupon at the Rudder Box Office and receive a $1.00 discount. NAME ADDRESS ZIP Campus organizations can now get help in finding guest lecturers by using a card file compiled by the De partment of Student Affairs, says Nyla Ptomey, Housing Program su pervisor. Each file card tells the topic for the lecture, the approximate length of each one and the best time to get in touch with the speaker to set up a date. The topics in the file include rec reation, social events, education, hobbies and physical education, Pto mey said. “If an organization is interested in getting a guest speaker, all they have to do is come look through the file,” Ptomey said. With so many professors at the University, it is hard not to find one that is interested in the topic that an organization might need, she said. The files are in the Housing Pro grams office, the Student Activities office and the Memorial Student Center. The library and the Associa tion Building office in the MSC are the next target locations. “Any organization is welcome to use the file,” Ptomey said. “It would be advisable to contact the speaker that your organization is interested in hearing a week in advance. This allows them to have the time to pre pare their speech.” The students don’t pay a fee to use the file. The cost of photocopy ing each file and updating each one are absorbed from the Housing Pro gram office, Ptomey said. The files are now being updated for the new school year.
