'Political Subsidies'

The Neanderthals wish to end all
"political subsidies" by Student Council
such as those to The Virginia Weekly and
The Record. They propose that every
semester students receive the option of
choosing which groups they desire their
student fees to go to.

Also campaigning for the College seats
are Tom Rickards and Dave Barnes. The
main thrust of their platform deals with
housing. They call for an end to the
"repressive policies which characterize
the Housing Office."

Mr. Rickards and Mr. Barnes believe
the Student Council should "encourage
the development of more housing in the
community." According to their
platform, Student Council "should also
provide students with information and
legal aid in cooperation with the Tenant's
Association" of which Mr. Barnes is a
member.

Other problems with which Mr.
Rickards and Mr. Barnes are concerned lie
in the area of security and lighting around
the grounds. They demand that the
Business Office reshape the
appropriations of existing funds to
correct the situation.
