Blix Continued from page 1 other side of the table as long as it’s civil.” Osei Bonsu, MSC Wiley Lecture Series chair, said Blix’s speech is especially important since the controversy of WMDs has popped up in presidential debates recently. “The justification for war has become a campaign issue." Bonsu said. “There is no better way to get the information than from the direct source, a man who was there.” Nikki Van Hightower, a political science senior lectur er, said this speech is especial ly important for A&M stu dents. “This will be interesting, especially to young people in this college, where many people have some sort of military involvement of some kind.” Van Hightower said. Van Hightower said the speech shouldn’t bring any con troversy but if it does it just shows the importance of the issue he is addressing. “There is a cultural bias at this University that supports the conservative. Republican, George Bush side of politics and the fact that we would bring someone in that would chal lenge those issues is interesting and I think it shows a maturing of the University.” Van ■ I ' Hightower said.
