Armstrong tells us how some Texas State students have been expressing their
opinions.
The discourse board on the second floor of Evans Hall was set up by the
political science department as a place for students to discuss political
issues. Lately, most of the discourse on the board has been focused on Middle
Eastern issues, specifically the conflict in Libya. Middle Eastern Studies
Instructional Assistant(?)Lisa Edwards says students have been engaged in the
debate for several weeks.

The Libyan conflict began in February when violent protests in the city of
Benghazi spread throughout the country. Libyan authorities began using
airstrikes against civilians after President Muammar Gaddafi refused to step
down. Earlier this month the U-N Security Council sanctioned a 'no fly zone'
over Libya and authorized air strikes. Junior Jannell Reyos says students need
to educate themselves about the conflict before adding their opinions to the
board.
