YAF plans legal action against mandatory fees by GARY SEACREST Nebraskan Staff Writer Legal action against the policy of mandatory student fees at the University is being planned by the NU chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF). Terry Cannon, YAF president said Thursday his chapter plans to seek an injunction to put a freeze on all student fees at the University. He said any YAF legal action would pro bably not come until after the November elections. "We have a good chance to win the suit, since there are precedent cases," remarked Cannon. The planned YAF legal ac tion is intended to establish "voluntary fees and to end the abuse of student fees for political purposes by a small minority of radicals," ac cording to a YAF statement. "The project is being carried out In Lincoln as part of a na tional offensive by YAF." Cannon said he got the idea for the suit from the national YAF office. The proposed YAF action could greatly affect such cam pus organizations as the Nebraska Union, student government, and The Nebraskan. Through fees, students annually pay $18 to the Union, $2.50 to The Nebraskan and $.80 to ASUN. "We feel students fees are extravagent and are not used for the best purposes of students," noted Cannon. "In light of recent proposed tuition hikes at the University the elimination of student fees could help many students stay in school by reducing their costs." YAF would like to see volun tary student fees be established according to Cannon. Under this plan students would pay just for the services they want. A recent court decision in New York concerning man datory student fees may set a precedent for all state universities. The independence of the stu dent government at the New York State University at Albany was declared illegal, and its operation effectively shut down in a Sept. 17 by New York Supreme Court decision. The decision was the outcome of a suit brought by two Albany State students over the student government's expenditures for "political" matters such as transportation to Washington for the Vietnam Moratorium, creation of a free school, and a black cultural weekend. The decision enjoined the University from permitting the student government from making further expenditures until the University's Board of Trustees had reviewed and ap proved the budget. The New York decision was widely regarded as a landmark. The decision makes it possible for any student in any state supported school to move for a restraining order against his own student government if the government funds itself through mandatory student fees. Thone Nixon Republican A self-proclaimed "Nixon Republican" promised to "see that President Nixon's pro grams get a fair hearing in the House of Representatives" if he . Is elected to Congress in November. Charles Thone is the Republican candidate for Nebraska's first congressional district. Thone spoke to about 35 people at a Young Republicans meeting in the Nebraska Union Thursday night. He gave assurance that being a staunch Nixon supporter would not make him "a rubber stamp congressman" as far as the ffrst district was concerned. "But let's face it," said Thone. "Republicans just are not going to control the House next term." Thone believes this make3 It imperative that Republican congressmen try to force the House to give max imum consideration to the President's proposals. In Thone'8 opinion world peace Is the priority issue of the time. Ho supports the President on Vietnam. "He inherited a lousy, rotten war," said Thone. "He's doing the only sensible, practical thing he can do to get us out of It." Domestically, "a congress man from this state has to be very sympathetic to agriculture. It Is the industry in Nebraska" according to Thone. On broader national issues, Tlwne supports Nixon doctrine on the issues of drug abuse, ecology and the volunteer army. On the super-sonic transport: "I have kind of a pioneer spirit. As long as it's not too god-awful expensive I'm for it." On dirtct election of tlo President: "I'm definitely against It. (The electoral col lege system) goes to the very heart of the federal system in America." Thone added mat he was for smaller-scale electoral reform. Vice president Agnew is nothing new to Thone. "He's lust dning what left-wingers nave been doing for years," he said. "Except he takes tho Republican side on Issues. McGovern and those people have been splitting the country just as much as he has." Thone said he was "ex tremely liberal" in his attitudes Turn to page 4 iff-- n I, I ft ft v.- if u. i h i H: n ?:' ft M V u I , r
