Bowling Break

If the mid-semester stress is enough to make you want to throw something, try hurling a bowling ball down one of Kegler's lanes tonight for free.

The Second Year Council is sponsoring a free night of food and bowling for University students, starting at 9 p.m.

Adam Tate, Second Year Council vice president, said bowling is "something a lot of people like but don't get much of a chance to do."

The funds for the free event come from the Council's semester allocation from the University, Tate said.

Students who come to Kegler's tonight will receive three certificates to redeem at the bowling alley's snack bar. Students without cars can catch a ride to Kegler's on a UTS bus from Beta Bridge starting at 8:50 p.m.

Although the Second Year Council mainly plans events for the Class of 2003, tonight's bowling event is open to everyone.

The Cavalier Daily's very own editor-in-chief, John Clark, spoke out on free speech yesterday on FOX's political debate show, "Hannity and Colmes." Clark discussed the recent controversy that stirred up when David Horowitz, right-wing director of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, solicited the publication of an ad denouncing reparations for slavery in several college and national newspapers. The Cavalier Daily declined to publish the ad.

Clark appeared alongside Horowitz via satellite to discuss how far newspapers should go in filtering public information.

"It's a relatively important free speech issue," said FOX's Jon Finley, a production assistant and University graduate. Many people have complained about newspapers that failed to run the ad, Finley explained.

Editors of some other college newspapers seemed a bit nervous about the prospect of appearing on the show with Horowitz, he said.

"He has the reputation of being sort of a pitbull," Finley said of Horowitz.
