Red Cross ~-- .. -----~- .... -----~ EDITOR ALS page 3 November 29, 1990 Current Lesson In Law Suppressing the First Amendment became an issue at the last SGA meeting when someone suggested a manda tory signing of "Clean Campaign Contract" for students who choose to run for office. If astudentchooses not to sign the contract, he/she may not be allowed to run. This contract is supposedly an attempt to prevent mud-slinging between candidates. If this were passed, such a contract would be a direct violation of the First Amendment. Former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes expressed his opinion of free speech, saying it is the "protector of truth" and that it can only evolve from "free, robust, uninhibited communication in the marketplace of ideas." What is a university if it is not a marketplace of ideas? By law, students should not be restricted from publicly · stating their ideas and opinions about anything, including other candidates. Laws, like slander and libel exist to protect candidates from unjust accusations which could tarnish their reputations. The practice. of mud-slinging may be seen in many political campaigns, ranging from local to state and national levels. It may be tacky and unnecessary, but candidates have the constitutional right to express their opinions. Where does one draw the line between mud-slinging and getting legitimate information to the public? That is a question for a higher court. It is not up to any individual to decide.

Cartoon Sense

Every once in a while an editorial will cause contro versy. Such was the case of an editorial cartoon that ran a month ago about attitudes towards Arabs. It was brought to the attention of the Current that the cartoon was misin terpreted by some people affiliated with the university as well as people of Arab descent. This is unfortunate, as the Current deplores racism of any kind.

LETTERS POLICY The Current welcomes lettters to the editor. The writer's student number and phone number must accompany alilelters. Non·students must also include their phone numbers. Letters should be no longer than two typed, double-spaced pages. No unsigned letters will be published, but the author's name can be withheld by request.
