English bookseller
studies rare books
at Baylor University

a Pplkat,
>re ut ACQ — Colin Franklin has
n <)?: t«deas about old books. He’s a
ell-known bookseller and
APPRthoiar from Oxford, England,
Comjirjid has been in this country for
13 Kltb# ] ist year studying rare books,
dueling the various collections
,( B;-ylor University.
Fianklin believes books should
: seen often — and occasionally
nicied.
“I am afraid 1 have a real bee in
A bonnet about rare books,”
jjjjjHklin said. “Many universities

the meantime, generations of stu
dents pass through never know
ing historic works are nearby. It
would be nice to have some kind
of ever-changing, lively, well-cap
tioned exhibition of such books
here at Baylor.
“Baylor has a very fine and
unusally varied set of collections
and rare books as a whole. And
the Armstrong Browning Library
is known worldwide. One of the
things I like about it is that it is
more than a library. It is some
thing of a museum as well.”
In addition to the Armstrong
Browning collections, Franklin
studied the special “alpha” collec
tion of books at Moody Library
and the law school’s collections of
rare law books.
He has spent most of the past
year studying and writing about
the Ashendene Press, which is
now in the Southern Methodist
University library system.
Senators debate nomination of judge
“Three other judges called upon to post the signs re
fused to do so, but not Mr. Fitzwater. His lack of good
judgment makes me question whether he has the
knowledge and competence to be a federal judge. ”
— Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio.
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Opponents
of a Texasjudge picked by President
Reagan to be the youngest member
of the federal bench urged the Sen
ate to reject the nominee T uesday
for showing a callous insensitivity to
voting rights.
Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, D-
Ohio, said Sidney A. Fitzwater’s par
ticipation in a 1982 Republican Party
“ballot security” campaign to warn
voters against committing election
fraud was “one of the most invidious
and repugnant political tactics that I
have seen in years.”
Signs carrying a warning in bright
red letters that “You Can Be Impris
oned” for election law violations
were posted in mostly-black election
precincts but not at other polling
places in the Dallas area.
Metzenbaum said although Fitz
water says he did not know the signs
he helped post were to be placed
only in black neighborhoods, the
thrust of the signs with bold red let
ters was a not-so-subtle way of intim
idating black voters not to vote.
“Three other judges called upon
to post the signs refused to do so, but
not Mr. Fitzwater,” Metzenbaum
said as the Senate debated Fitzwa
ter’s nomination on the floor. “His
lack of good judgment makes me
question whether he has the knowl
edge and competence to be a federal
judge.”
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-
Mass., said Fitzwater’s involvement
in the sign postings shows “a callous
insensitivity to the central impor
tance of voting rights in our system.
I don’t believe he should be a guard
ian of that system.”
Kennedy said the Texas ballot
commission “was so appalled that
they have prohibited that kind of
sign to be published in the future.”
Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, said
Fitzwater believed these signs were
being posted everywhere in the
county.
Metzenbaum read a letter to Dal
las election officials from Assistant
Attorney General Bradford Rey
nolds, the Justice Department’s civil
rights enforcement chief, noting
that an investigation by the depart
ment found that the signs had only
been placed in black neighborhoods.
Reynolds wrote there was no his
tory of voting fraud in the precincts
where the signs were posted, Met
zenbaum said.
“When Brad Reynolds indicates
there has been discrimination, there
must have been discrimination be
cause it’s a well known and accepted
fact that Brad Reynolds has not been
in the forefront of the battle against
discrimination,” Metzenbaum said.
