Protest by Ohio State students and faculty may force the University's board of trustees to revise a recently instituted "gag rule" at a meeting today.
The rule requires all speakers on the Ohio State campus to be approved by President Howard L. Lewis. Trustees ordered the censorship after two Columbus, Ohio, newspapers condemned the speech of Harold O. Rugg, Columbia University professor emeritus, who is well known for his "unorthodox" economic views.
