Student Fees

Regarding "student fees except those
required by compelling social externalities"
as "an infringement upon the rights
and beliefs of every student," the YAF
calls for "voluntary student contributions
and subscriptions." Presently, the YAF
contends that student fees are being
unjustly used to impose unrepresentative
publications on students.

"To break the biased news monopoly
at the University," the program suggests
that "the University Union Meeting
notices should be expanded into an
objective news publication." Elaborating
on the proposal, Mr. Kwapisz stated that
"Our ultimate end is to promote freedom
of the press." Another YAF Executive
Board member suggested that the Administration
might set up a University
Publications Center. The program is quite
emphatic in its desire for new methods of
funding the Virginia Law Review and The
Cavalier Daily.
