Hearing set in Virginia's alcohol ad ban case
By Roger Soenksen
Media Law Committee Chair
A federal judge in late March provided the student media of the commonwealth of Virginia with a major commercial speech victory. U.S. Magistrate Judge M. Hannah Lauck of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia issued a summary judgment ruling that the Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control rules 2 VAC-5-20-40 A and B(3) are unconstitutional and issued an injunction against enforcing them.
A hearing on the issue of injunctive relief has been scheduled for June 10 in Richmond.

Death of the college yearbook has been greatly exaggerated
Compiled by Bill Neville
The death of the college yearbook, it seems, has been greatly exaggerated.
The paraphrase of the quip Mark Twain uttered in response to an obituary erroneously printed about his "death" seems applicable to the state of college yearbooks today.
Though most veteran college media advisers would agree that yearbooks have been in a decline -- with changing media usage patterns among youthful consumers, escalating costs, and
the advent of social computer networks cited most frequently as contributing factors when cash stapped colleges discountinue their yearbooks -- the counts of those still in production range upward, perhaps to 800 or more... far more than the "less than 100" figure that has been reported in the media and spread through a variety of online resources.

 Congratulations to two lucky convention attendees who won an iPod Nano by Apple. Chris Stover (Temple University) and Peggy Elliott (University of South Carolina Aiken) had their names drawn from CMA VP Vince Filak's cyber hat to win the gizmos for providing evaluation feedback to CMA.
Elliott was enthusiastic in her response: "The iPod arrived Saturday, and I can't tell you how thankful I am. What a terrific win. I feel as if the CMA has embraced me, and I truly appreciate it. Our editors are having a blast putting together what they learned. The newspaper has really blossomed as a result of our CMA training."
If you did not get a chance to provide feedback, and still want to do so, please contact Vince Filak and give him you assessment of hte convention. You won't win an iPod but your help will be appreciated.
