The writer is correct about the social ” electricity ” of PRINTED communications. I recall visiting the Brown campus circa 1970 with my very working class Washington Park neighborhood friend . He handed me pamphlets and the socialist newspaper ” The Militant ” back then being distributed by the Brown University Young Socialist Alliance ( YSA )

There was also some right wing competition in hand outs : from YAF , Young Americans for Freedom “.

My 17 year old friend listened to a fascinating lecture ( for him a Providence factory worker) on the labor theory of value-given by a young ” Trot ” who afterwards drove off in a cool jaguar.

CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS is very precarious at elite universities. But there should be a ferment of challenging IDEAS .]

Letter: Printed publications empower students

I’m greatly disturbed that the Undergraduate Finance Board has chosen not to provide funding to cover printing expenses for student groups
