Students Win Fight Over Political Signs
Facing a free-speech uproar, the University of Texas backed down yesterday from punishing two students who refused to remove political signs from their dormitory windows. The roommates, cousins Connor, left, and Blake Kincaid, said they were barred from registering for spring classes over their signs supporting Barack Obama. UT's president suspended the school's ban on political signs.

IN FACT {vbar} UT has barred the posting of signs in dorm windows to control the look of the campus and avoid the appearance that the school is supporting any candidate.
