The Student Voice of California State University, Fullerton Holocaust to Arnold aims higher be questioned As the Master Plan for Higher Education turns 50, Gov. Schwarzenegger vows veto any budget excluding increased education funding at TSU today By Michael Arellano and Christine Amarantus Daily Titan Staff Writer [email protected]

The founder of the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust is scheduled to speak in the Titan Student Union’s Alvarado AB at 2 p.m. today. Bradley Smith, whose organization contends that the Holocaust did not occur, will talk about what he calls “forbidden topics within student journalism.” Smith has a history of causing controversy on uni- versity campuses across the United States. In February of this year, the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s student newspaper was met with strong opposition when they ran an online advertisement purchased by Smith. “Some members of Madison’s Jewish community, and others, are outraged that the Herald would give this infamous denier a platform to spew his veiled anti-Semitism,” said Nick Penzenstadler, the UW pa- per’s publisher. A self-proclaimed “Holocaust revisionist,” Smith argues the Nazi gas chambers did not exist and spoke at the 2006 Holocaust conference hosted by Presi- dent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran, Iran. “Well, I don’t have an ideology,” Smith said. “Es- sentially, I’m encouraging a free exchange of ideas about a taboo question.” photo courtesy MCT CSUF’s Hillel club adviser Mark Filowitz com- Gov.
