University of Virginia Library

Full-Time Lobbyist

It might be useful to consider
the hiring of a full-time lobbyist to
present the student point of view to
the legislature. There seems to be no
other way at the present time to
attempt to insure that those parties
with so much say with regard to the
future of this University are
exposed to the point of view of
that group or class least represented
in the higher councils where the
decisions are made.

The hiring of a lobbyist would
in no way be a panacea, in fact the
difficulties in even agreeing on the
hiring of one might be
insurmountable, but the potential
benefits would be worth the effort.
