The president of Wayne State Uni-
versity, Irvin Reid, has publicly repu-
diated a Holocaust revisionist adver-
tisement that ran in the campus
newspaper on September 16 and has
asked a faculty member specializing
in the study of hate groups to "help
the campus community understand
the insidious nature of hate groups."
The Michigan
Anti-Defamation
League welcomed
Reid's repudiation of
the Committee for
Open Debate on the
Holocaust
(CODOH), but
expressed concern
that the university has
not taken steps to
revise a charter
requiring the paper to
print all paid adver-
tisements "except for
those which violate
state or federal law or
University regula-
tions...and except for
those which do not
conform to ordinary
standards of good
taste.
CODOH has been
advertising sporadical-

ly in campus newspapers since 1991.
The recent advertisement ran in nine
campus newspapers around the coun-
try, but was rejected by numerous
others, including the newspapers at
University of Michigan, Michigan
State University and Eastern Michi-
gan University.
In an October 2 letter to WSU's
The South End, Reid wrote "Efforts
which are intended to obscure or
deny fact that the horrible tragedies
of the Holocaust occurred should
elicit the strongest possible response.
I reject any and all forms of racism.

and prejudice, including any acts
which would create doubt where
none should exist."
WSU Chair of Communications
Professor Jack Kay, who will be
spearheading educational efforts on
campus about hate groups, said he is
currently in the information-gather-
ing stage and anticipates eventually
scheduling a campus-wide forum on
the issue.
Representatives of the Michigan
ADL are continuing to meet with
WSU administrators about revising
the The South Ends charter.
