good educational experience for stu¬
dents? Would the students have had a
fair opportunity to make a moral decision
regarding the Shah' s regime?
Wss it right to deny the Iranian stu¬
dents the equal time which they request¬
ed? It is unfortunate that some students
were denied the opportunity to hear the
speaker they came to hear.
However, would most have shown the
same respect, empathy, understanding,
and tolerance for the Iranian students?
Gerardo Gonzalez
Iran 'toying' with USA
TotheEditor:
I'm beginning to wonder just what
this country is coming to. Time and
again we have been confronted by hos¬
tile Iranian actions, and time and again
we have backed down and tried to ac¬
commodate the aggressors.
When the Shah was admitted to an
American hospital, the Iranian mili¬
tants ignored all rules of international
diplomacy and seized our embassy in
Tehran. And what do I hear from some
Americans? That it's our fault because
we admitted the Shah, aa though an
act of terriorism can be blamed on the
victims!
When the Ayatollah Khomeini con¬
fuses us by promising first one date
and then another on which to release
the hostages, be toys with us. And why
not? Bit by bit, we have been conced¬
ing to the demands of these terrorists.
. And now, on our own campus, a
place of learning, the Iranian students
disrupt sn invited lecture's attempts to
speak. And what do I hear? That it's
our fault for inviting Hoveyda in the
first place!
When are we going to stop apolog¬
izing for what others do to us? I
Wayne Evertt Chesnut, Student
Iranians 'hypocritical'
TotheEditor:
We feel it is hypocritical of the pro¬
testing Iranian students to speak of the
'right* to freedom of speech being sup¬
pressed last November by hecklers
only to have them prevent Fereydoun
Hoveyda from delivering his lecture by
relentless chanting and provoking
violence.
We are not condemning their 'priv¬
ilege* to stage s peaceful demonstration,
but we ARE condemning them for vio¬
lating OUR right to freedom of informa¬
tion.
If it is st all possible, we would like
to see a copy of the lecture printed in the
Daily Collegian. This would enable us
to read what we were deprived of
hearing. v
In the future, we would appreciate
more'effective crowd control at such a
controversial event. Perhaps the ejection
of a few chanting students would have
allowed the rest of the people present to
hear the intended lecture.

devised to show the "diversity and qual¬
ity of the university's academic pro¬
grams."
