Endeavour and its crew of five

the crew's successes, most no

Court throws out restrictions
Ming to allow newspaper distribution on college campus

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court today re
used to let Southwest Texas State University restrict
k on-campus distribution of most newspapers.
The court, without comment, let stand a ruling that
aid such a regulation violates free-speech rights.
Southwest Texas State, in San Marcos, expanded its
inti-solicitation rule in 1989 to include all newspapers
pat contain advertising.
Distribution of such newspapers was limited to
ending machines at five campus locations, a single
free expression area" or by subscription.
The Hays County Guardian, a free newspaper then
listiibuted throughout San Marcos, challenged the
Jhiv’ersity's pojicy but U.S. District Judge Walter
feuth threw out the lawsuit in 1990.
The 5th U,S. Circuit Court of Appeals last August
aid the school's policy on solicitation could not be ap
plied to newspapers.
"The anti-solicitation regulations cannot be applied
»forbid an individual student from handing out a
newspaper solely because the paper contains adver-
isements," the appeals court ruled.
The appeals cour t rejected arguments by university
officials that they merely were regulating commercial
speech. "The Guardian is not commercial speech," it
"The advertisements . . . were included to fi
nance the publication. Under such circumstances,
tommercial speech was inextricably linked to the
newspaper's non-commercial speech, making the
whole paper noncommercial."
Past Supreme Court decisions have given govern
ment more leeway to restrict commercial speech. For
example, the court in 1989 ruled that the peddling of
Tupperware and similarly sold products can be
banned from college dormitories.
The 5th Circuit court also rejected the university's
arguments that most of its campus is not a "public fo
rum" where free-speech rights are most ardently pro
tected.
And the appeals court said the university was mis
guided in trying to limit distribution of the Guardian
to preserve the academic environment for its 22,000
students.
"The handing out of a political newspaper filled
with editorials and reportage about matters of public
concern is compatible with the university's academic
mission," the appeals court said.
University officials also cited litter control, security
and preventing fraud and deception as reasons for its
anti-solicitation policy.
In the appeal acted on today, Texas Attorney Gener
al Dan Morales argued that "without significant limi
tations the campus would eventually be dominated by
unwarranted hawking from every salesperson in
town."
The appeal drew no distinction between newspa
pers and commercial speech. In a friend-of-the-court
brief, the American Council on Education said the 5th
Circuit court's ruling would "hamstring the ability of
colleges and universities to create the relaxed environ
ment ... so conducive to higher education."
