Despite Campaign Halt, Event Focuses on Political Issues

12 September 2008 Columbia Spectator article "Despite Campaign Halt, Event Focuses on Political Issues".  Note:  The article discussed the pro-ROTC statements by Senators McCain and Obama at the 11 September presidential candidate forum at Columbia and interviewed Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Senator Joe Biden after the event, who agreed that ROTC should be a choice on campus. “I think that there should be ROTC on campus. No one has to show up and sign up. Just as I defended this University’s right to invite Ahmadinejad, regardless of how bad that judgment may have been, how can you say that there should not be an ROTC group here?"
