Council Censures Transfer
Of '73 Wake Forest Game

By SAM BARNES

Indicating its disapproval of
the proposed transfer of next
year's first football game to
Norfolk's Oyster Bowl,
Student Council last night
forwarded to the Athletic
Department a statement saying
that it could accept the move
only if the department would
agree to put any additional
profit from the game into the
club sports program.

The transfer, which would
involve next year's game with
Wake Forest, could bring in as
much as $35,000 in extra
profit for the Athletic program
at the University. The game is a
charity-sponsored event.

Council stated that 'since
active participation in club
sports already serves as an
alternative activity for a
number of University students
- and surely will grow as an
outlet for student energy -
Council feels that a
commitment from the Athletic
Department to finance club
sports as an alternative to
accompany transfer of the
Wake Forest game would be
the only acceptable
compensation.'

Council said that it realized
its responsibility to the student
body to heed its desire for
social outlets throughout the
year.

'In light of the fact that
football is the dominant social
activity of a substantial portion
of students during the fall,
Council feels it should not
sanction any move to remove a
portion of the social calendar
unless some sort of
compensation is provided,'
Council said.

In other business, chairman
of the off-Grounds Housing
Committee Paul Dipasquale
outlined a three divisional
committee framework to
improve landlord tenant
relations.

According to Mr.
Dipasquale, his committee will
organize a telephone complaint
service for students to phone
about legal problems with
landlords.

Mr. Dipasquale said that
such a service would cut down
on the vast number of calls
that Students' Attorney Ted
Hogshire receives. The
committee would inform the
landlord of the student's
complaint, and if no action he
takes no action, the committee
would then forward the
complaint to Mr. Hogshire.

Another project of the
committee is to get more
undergraduate students
involved in the publication of
the Landlord-Tenant booklet
and in attempts to formulate a
model lease for reference use in
Charlottesville.

Mr. Dipasquale pointed out
that presently only law
students were involved in these
efforts, and since so many
more undergraduate students
are affected by the housing
conditions in Charlottesville,
he wanted to incorporate more
undergraduates into the effort.

A third service of the
Housing Committee would be a
landlord-tenant insurance
committee to act in such cases
as students defaulting on rent.

He added that this
committee branch would not
automatically back the
landlord in default cases, but
would endeavor to find out
whether the tenant or the
landlord is the party at fault.

In other action, Council
supported a motion called for
by third-year law student
Christian White to ask The
Cavalier Daily to provide equal
space within the format of its
'campaign forum' series to
students supporting American
party candidate John Schmitz
and other candidates on the
ballot in Virginia.
