From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 31, 1989:

A judge this week issued a temporary restraining order and was considering a preliminary injunction against publication of what some students called a “counterfeit” student newspaper at Haskell Indian Junior College. U.S. District Judge Richard Rogers had issued the restraining order after a four-hour hearing in Topeka; the order prohibited Haskell administrators from publishing an allegedly censored edition of the Indian Leader. The judge’s action followed the filing of a lawsuit by students contending that a Haskell faculty member and his son, who was not a student at the college, had tried to force publication of an issue of the newspaper this week without proper input from newspaper staff. “I’m going to have to review the whole situation,” said acting Haskell president Bob Martin today. “I’m hoping to meet with the (American Civil Liberties Union) attorneys to work out the problems so an edition of the paper can get out as soon as possible.” Gordon Risk, ACLU president in Kansas, said today that the organization had begun working on behalf of Haskell students because “it was our judgment that their First Amendment rights were being infringed…. It was our feeling that students’ rights were violated because they weren’t going to be allowed to include stories they wanted in the newspaper.”
