	toledoblade.com -- Many college students make a political turn to the right
		Experts and political leaders also say that college students, the majority of whom mirror society by describing themselves as "middle of the road" politically, are now pursing their political activism in much different ways - noticeably different than the vocal sits-ins and protests that were commonplace in the 1960s and 1970s.
		Precise findings about students and their political allegiances are often scarce on campuses, but the annual "The American Freshman" study touches and on it and a host of other issues, including family background, time management, and future goals.
		Miss Corvo said her group, the Ohio College Republican Federation, which is an auxiliary the Ohio Republican Party, is in the midst of a new campaign this year involving students.

	Speech to Federation of Conservative Students Conference \| Margaret Thatcher Foundation
		The overwhelming majority of students are moderate and hardworking, concerned not with political agitation but with pursuing their own interests and friendships and leading their own lives.
		At a time when all of public expenditure has to be restrained students along with other members of the community have to make sacrifices, but we are determined that it should be a fair and not an unfair share that has to be borne.
		The Conservative Party was faced with this same task between 1945 and 1955, and it achieved an astonishing degree of success.

		Talking about politics, federation and the republic involves many specialised political words that may be new to some students.
		Whatever their age, students need to have an understanding of these terms in order to participate effectively in the political process.
		Younger students can write some of these terms, as well as other words that they identify, in large print on cardboard ‘bricks’ to make a federation ‘wall’ in the classroom.

		The federal government’s legal defense of the law mirrored their public policy response in that they argued that the law was justified on the grounds of the programs that the government provides.
		During that review process, the federal government proposed that provincial and federal student loans be exempt from protection under the Act for a period of two years.
		In lieu of a defense of the law itself, the federal government appears to be arguing that modest policy initiatives cancel out the right of student loan borrowers to avail themselves of the protection afforded by the bankruptcy law.

	Politics \| Tory youth group accused of take-over plot
		Disquiet about the group is such that the Conservative's chief whip, David Maclean, recently told its chairman, former Tory MP Patrick Nicholls, to rein in its activities, Guardian Unlimited has learned.
		Conservative party managers have been nervous about the activities of younger members since the 1980 excesses of the Federation of Conservative Students led it to be dubbed "Maggie's Militant tendency".
		They might, however, be alarmed by what appears to be another throwback to the campus battles of the 1980s; the foundation's pledge to expose "left-wing bias" in Britain's universities and take legal action against "abuse of powers" by academics.

		Just when the Conservatives ought to be uniting, concentrating on the issues, attacking the government, pulling together, speaking with a united voice, racing ahead in the polls, blah blah, they are instead deep into a leadership battle, concerning the future of a man who has yet to lead them into a General Election.
		Their previous three 'leadership contests' were really just debates about which insignificant figurehead to stick at the front of the Conservative ship, which was at first assumed to be in motion of its own accord, and later to be becalmed no matter what the 'leader' said or did.
		Conservative spin-mongers will explain that IDS's hopeless way with his lines is all part of why he ought to be Prime Minister.

		In the early 1990s, when Portillo was striking a pose as the leading right-wing critic of John Major, they would place themselves at strategic points in the hall during Conservative party conference to orchestrate loud applause for their hero and to heckle left-wingers.
		Many of those FCS students were in at the launch of Conservative Way Forward, the internal Tory pressure group.
		The FCS students who were banned by Norman Tebbit for being too right wing in the 1980s converted themselves, in a wonderful irony, into the modernising faction that now makes the case for emasculating traditional Tory policies on issues like taxation, law and order, and immigration.
