On Saturday afternoon, July 1, (2.30) the Reiical Students Alliance take over Trafalgar Square for the first time, Tney are protesting against increases in fees for overseas students due to take effect this October, Speakers include David Adelstein, until recently president of L.S.E. Union, and Terry Lacey, chairman of the Union of Liberal Students, B.Persad, West Indian students' president and N.Lemunge, president of the Tanzanian Students Association. In their personal capacities, two people recently elected to the N.U.S. executive will be speaking; they are Linda Tinckham and Jack Straw, Leeds University Union president. The whole left should support R.S.A. in this campaign, It is a very fine thing that these students s7ould make a stand on an issue which does not directly affect them, The development of the R.S.A. could mark the beginning of a new radicalisation of the students which would bring Britain into line with other advanced capitalist countries. It is very clear that this would introduce a very positive new feature into British politics.
