University of Virginia Library

Conservative Side

Has anyone noticed that in this
intellectual community there is no
place one may purchase an intellectual
or artistic journal (other
than the homegrown Virginia
Quarterly) and yet the local merchants
carry more tabloids and
girlie magazines than a Times
Square newsstand.

I feel sure that the student
body of a University with as much
"class" as U. Va. claims for itself
would purchase, perhaps the
Chicago Review (even though
Chicago is miles away) occasionally
enough to preserve the poor
booksellers from bankruptcy.

Why doesn't the Cavalier Daily
use its public voice to influence
some action in this area?
