Activities Fund Threatened

Mr. Sabato also said that
funding the organization posed
a threat to the future of the
Student Activities fund.

"I think one of the coming
dangers in the next few years is
the possible abolition of the
Student Activities fund," he
said.

According to Mr. Sabato
there is already a great deal of
public sentiment for abolishing
the Student Activities Fund as a
payment required of students.

"In terms of strategy, if we
come out in favor of this
allocation and the case does go
to court, the University is
going to be in one of the most
horrible positions it could be in
as far as public opinion is
concerned," he added.

"It's pretty much assured
that the case will go to court
either way. Should council be
sued for funding the Gay
Student Union, loss of the case
could ultimately lead to
another suit in court to abolish
the Student Activities Fee
altogether," Mr. Sabato said.
