Virginia Tech Student Paper Readies Liquor Ad Ban Challenge

09-15-2005 9:20 AM
(Blacksburg, VA) -- A Virginia state ban on alcohol-related advertising in campus publications is being challenged by Virginia Tech's student newspaper. The "Collegiate Times" is being aided by the Virginia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, which claims the ad ban is unconstitutional. A spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control told the "Roanoke Times" the reasoning behind the ban is that "college newspapers often have many readers under 21" and because of that "it's illegal to target them under this regulation." The ACLU sent a letter to Virginia state officials, saying "these regulations compromise important free speech principles."
