[EL] political activity on campus

[Ellen Aprill]

As to permitting students to set up tables, etc., see item #11 on pages
numbered 377-378 of this IRS Continuing Professional Education text:

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/eotopici02.pdf

CPE texts are not precedential authority, but this particular chapter is
considered a particularly good and thorough description of the IRS's
position on the matters it discusses.
