Paper Polemics

Student Council's recent recommendations
for the study of The
Cavalier Daily's operations are incomprehensible.
These suggestions
seem to imply a value judgment
in the quality of the newspaper.
Whether or not The Cavalier Daily
is a good newspaper should not
be the concern of the Student Council.
Whether or not the CD should
include any national news or
whether or not it is truly a "student"
newspaper are beyond the
scope of the Council. Student
Council control over the finances
would seem only to sacrifice some
of the independence which makes
for a free newspaper. I sincerely
hope the Council reconsiders this
deplorable resolution.
