The North Carolina Young Americans for Freedom plan to “give campus rebels their day in court,'' A leader of the more than 850 members of the North Car olina Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) in a news con ference Friday said that “YAF members in North Carolina have placed in the hands of like-minded attorneys exten sively-prepared legal mater lals-lncluding briefs, memo randa, request for injunctions, civil suit material, etc,” J. Harold Herring, Jr., YAF State Chairman and a student at Atlantic Christian College In Wilson, said that the YAF Na tional Board of Directors, meeting in June in Columbus, Ohio, voted to bring the “New Left nazis” to court for viola tions of students’ contractual rights. YAF reasons that if stu dents pay a tuition or a fee to receive uninterrupted Instruc tion, then college officials are obligated to keep their cam pus orderly. Herring is also a member of the National Board of Directors. Lo announcing the legal at tacks against the New Left, Her ring said, “YAF's efforts to combat the New Left through the formation of ‘majority coa litions' of students who want an education, not a revolution, have already been successful." “But the majority coalitions work best only where there is, community, campus admini stration, and strong-felt ma jority student support. It is necessary to go further in com - bating the Left. It is essential that we defeat the New Left in the arena where all matters are eventually resolved in our system--the courts." !
