DEBATE LOOKS AT GUN CONTROL

The issue of gun control will be debated in Cape Girardeau on Feb. 9.

The Student Activities Council at Southeast Missouri State University is sponsoring the debate, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Show Me Center.

The debaters will be Josh Sugarmann, the executive director of the Violence Policy Center, and Bob Daniels, a representative of the National Rifle Association (NRA).

The NRA has long been a vocal critic of gun control legislation. In 1990, its president was quoted as saying that "all guns are good guns."

Sugarmann is the former communication director for the National Coalition to Ban Handguns. He has also written books and articles on the subject.

Ticket prices are $1 for Southeast students with I.D. cards and $2 for the general public. Tickets will be sold at the door. For more information, contact the Student Activities Council at (314) 651-2896.
