Horowitz criticizes protesters
By Sharif Durhams
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
MILWAUKEE (KRT) — David
Horowitz is at it again.
The former ’60s radical
turned-conservative commenta
tor has placed another ad in col
lege newspapers, months after
his essay on reparations for de
scendants of slaves sparked
protests on many campuses.
On Friday, Horowitz ran a
large ad in the University of Wis
consin-Madison’s Badger Herald
and other college papers, urging
students not to take part in
“anti-war” demonstrations.
His ad during Black History
Month criticized proponents of
having the government pay repa
rations to the descendants of
slaves. More than 50 University
of Wisconsin-Madison students
stormed the Badger Herald’s of
fices in March, demanding
apologies for publishing the ad.
Horowitz’s new piece implies
that students protesting Ameri
can plans for war against terror
ism are traitors. As of Friday, it
had not generated the negative
response of his reparations com
mentary. Students who did dis
agree focused their ire toward
him, and not the student publi
cations that agreed to publish
his views.
“He purposely exaggerates his
viewpoint just to get a reaction,”
said Adam Goldstein, a UW
Madison senior who is vice chair
man of the student judiciary. He
called the current ad “ridicu
lous.”
In it, Horowitz said current
anti-war protests cross the line
into treason and that similar
demonstrations during the ’60s
prolonged the Vietnam War and
hindered the U.S. effort.
‘‘This ad, although it
discusses topics that would
inflame, is not something
we thought would have as
much of an effect on our
readers.”
Yanev Suissa
Yale Daily News
“I understand better than
most, the importance of protest
ing freedom of speech and the
right of citizens to dissent,”
Horowitz wrote. “But I also
know better than most that there
is a difference between honest
dissent and malevolent hate, be
tween criticism of national poli
cy and sabotage of the nation’s
defenses.”
Horowitz did not return a mes
sage left for him on Friday.
College newspaper editors
said they savr trouble coming
when Horowitz approached
their staffs about running anoth
er ad.
Yanev Suissa, a senior and pub
lisher of the Yale Daily News, said
his paper declined to run
Horowitz’s earlier ad because
staff feared it might turn off ad
vertisers and readers to such a
degree that it could harm both
the newspaper’s finances and
community members in New
Haven, Conn., which has a large
black population.
But Suissa said he did not have
the same concerns this time.
“This ad, although it discusses
topics that would inflame, is not
something we thought would have
as much of an effect on our read
ers,” he said.
At the Badger Herald, which
staunchly defended Horowitz’s
free speech rights in the spring,
editor Alex Conant said there
were no questions about running
the new ad,
“We knew we were going to run
it,” said Conant, who added if
there was any debate among the
staff, “it was about how we were
going to run it.”
In a note to readers, Conant
wrote that Horowitz tries to write
ads so inflammatory that college
papers would refuse them, which
might lead to even more publicity.
Conant also promises an expand
ed Opinion section next week so
readers can respond to Horowitz.

Rec Center now available for families
■ Leighton Pool and designated
courts will be open to families
for limited hours on weekends
By Diane Huber
Oregon Daily Emerald
Last year, graduate sports medi
cine student Lisa Meneely wanted
to show her seven-year-old son Der
ric around the Student Recreation
Center, but at the time the facility
was only available to people over
age 18.
Now Meneely can take Derric for
a swim in the pool or teach him
how to play racketball on week
ends as part of the Family Recre
ation Program, which launched
Saturday.
“The program’s mission is to
make available times when stu
dents and faculty can come togeth
er and recreate with their chil
dren,” Physical Activity Director
Dennis Munroe said.
The program is available for
adults already eligible to use the
Rec Center at a cost of $1 per child.
Leighton Pool will be open to fami
lies from 10 a.m. to noon on Satur
days and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sun
days. Designated basketball, tennis,
racketball and squash courts will
also be open Saturday mornings
from 10 a.m. to noon.
“We’re just slammed with use
from 3 p.m. on (during the week),
so that limits us to weekends,”
Munroe said.
But Saturday morning, no one
used the program, Rec Center em
ployee Wendy Martin said. The
senior journalism major worked at
the Rec Center on Saturday during
the program’s hours and did not no
tice any children in the building.
She said she suspects that people
aren’t aware of the new program
yet.
Meneely said she is excited that
the facility is now available for the
growing number of parents on cam
pus.
“I am glad the Rec Center now
has the resources available that
support our unique position,” she
said.
She added that the program of
fers parents the opportunity to lead
by example in demonstrating the
importance of physical activity to
their children.
Meneely is not the only student
parent who has wanted to bring her
child along to the gym. Last year,
students with families began in
quiring about when they could
bring their children with them to
the Rec Center, Munroe said.
He added that the program was
developed in response to surveys
sent out last year. According to the
surveys, families’ strongest interest
was the swimming pool.
“We have always envisioned that
we would open the Rec Center to
children,” he said.
But it wasn’t until last year that
the building’s renovation was com
plete and the program could be or
ganized, he said.
Because of safety and liability is
Family Recreation
Program’s hours
Saturdays: 10 a.m„ to noon
{selected areas of the SRC and
swimming pool)
Sundays: 4 to 6 pm (pool oniy)
Charge: $1 per child
For more information: Brochures
are available at the REC Center
sues, the Rec Center needed to add
training so that employees would
be able to perform CPR for children,
Munroe said. The Rec Center also
hired additional employees for the
Saturday and Sunday shifts and
added changing tables in rest
rooms, he said.
The strength and conditioning
areas will not be available because
of safety issues, and babysitting
will not be offered either, he said. A
brochure with a more detailed ex
planation of the services and guide
lines is available.
Martin said she thinks more peo
ple will take advantage of the pro
gram once the word is out.
“I think it’s great, especially for
students who have families that
want to work out with their kids,”
she said.
