Supported Morgan Amendment
Gilmore Explains Why
He Opposed Ban Law
By heavy majority the General
Assembly has voted to amend the
Speaker Ban Law so as to place
on the trustees of each state-sup
ported college and university the
responsibility and control of cam
pus appearances of speakers who
are communist r fifth Amend
ment pleaders. I voted with the
majority.
This action aparently removed
the threat of disaccreditaton of
these schools, and hopefully it will
ease the ill will which has divid
ed, many sincere citizens across the
state.
I helped write an amendment
to the legislation which would have
required each school affected to
supply monthly to tts trustees a
list of those speakers defined by
law as subversive types. H>e
amendment failed, but in my opin
ion it was desirable as a reas
surance to our citizens that trus
tees were exercising their respon
sibility to watch for subversion
on our campuses
Trustees of sta*e schools of
higher- learning have met within
recent days and declared an ac
ceptance of the responsibility for
speaker control on their respec
tive campuses as required by the
new Speaker Ban policy. Governor
Moose, as Chairman of the Great
er University Board of trustees,
has given the state his guarantee
that he will direct and supervise
ail necessary campus controls.
Those who favored the Speaker

field Monday, Dec 6 to show catjse
why the restraining order should

. ever, directly or indirectly,.involving
' funds that might otherwise be avail
able to the county as a whole. .
Under this order, a lawyer satf,
the trustees cannot even hold a

Dunn’s city council Tlutrsday night

would place an “unrealistic bur
