Wisconsin U. Calls Off Ban on Lerner;
Oust Instigator from Committee
MADISON, Wis., (AJP)—Crit-
ics opposed to the appearance of
Jewish columnist Max Lerner at
a University of Wisconsin stu-
dent-sponsored meeting on
grounds of unproven pro-Com-
munist leanings were severely
rapped this week by the Wiscon-
sin faculty and the ban lifted.
Lerner was scheduled to ad-
dress the students, under the.
auspices of the University's
Knapp Foundation, Sunday eve-
ning.
Unsubstantiated charges two
weeks ago by a faculty commit-
tee that Lerner allegedly had
past Communist affiliations
were met by a firm denial from
Lerner and a challenge that the
group document its assertion.
Student leaders, including the
president of the undergraduate
body, immediately protested the
ban and announced they would
sponsor Lerner's appearance on
their own.

appearance here the faculty
passed a resolution expressing
"regret" for any reflections on
the reputation of Max Lerner
which may have arisen" as a
result of the ban.
The faculty assured "the stu-
dent body and the public that it
is concerned today no less than
in the past in upholding freedom
of discussion as the mark of a
true university and the tradi-
tional pride of the University of
Wisconsin."
