students who can’t afford to par

activities. I can’t count the num
ber of times we have told our
members not to allow lack of
money to stand in the way of par
ticipating.
If people were offended
by our posters, we are sorry; that
was never our intent. We are
encouraged by the fact that many
members of GAL AB andP-FL AG
attended this meeting. Bridges
were built between members of
our groups, and even some friend
ships were started. Three mem
bers of GALAB invited the
speaker, Dan Rice, out to coffee.
I’m sure that if either Branstator
or Hartfeil had taken the time to
actually find out the meaning be
hind the posters, or even the literal
meaning on the posters, they would
have never taken the time to write
such hate-filled “opinions.”

Editors' Note: The Print
would like to clarify one point:
BSM did remove the offensive
poster that afternoon, but only af
ter objections by several students
and staff resulted in the meeting
between Wright,. Amemann,
Bemey and Godfrey.

1. If you're looking for a
way to read faster, look no fur
ther. Simply read faster. Your
brain will work with you. Be
lieve it or not, your comprehen
sion level-won’t suffer.
2. If you're battling a text
that seems too difficult, stand up.
Try walking a little as you read.
This will help you focus your
concentration.
3. Ask yourself what you
expect to get from your reading.
Knowing where you're going is
half the battle.
4. If you have 2 hours to
watch TV and do homework,
don't combine the activities.
Work on your homework for an
hour and watch TV for an hour.
Outside distractions can make
comprehension more difficult
5. Review shortly after
you've read. Try to tell someone
else about what you've read.
You'll teach yourself.

■ President Robin Bruce defends BSM's 'freedom of speech'
In response to Heidi no right to censor the content of
Branstator’s article titled “Will posters. The only thing ASG does
God Still Love BSM After ThisT is okay the poster as a campus
and Lanz Hartfeil’s Letter to the event and date it to track the thirty
days the poster is allowed to stay
Editors:
The system works! It is up. This is not an endorsement of
gratifying to know that when the event or approval of the con
people get together and talk, posi tent of the poster. If posters con
tive moves can be made. When
Baptist Student Ministries (BSM)
was told that their poster offended
some people, they removed the
poster. It was clear that their
intention was not to hurt anyone,
and they were willing to make the
change. It is important to note, I
believe, that BSM did not have to
change the. poster. It is within
their rights, as it is with anyone,
under the freedom of speech, to
say whatever they want on their
posters.
