News Notes:
Cato Steps Up Campus Outreach

In an effort to influence tomorrow's opinion shapers, the Cato Institute has stepped up its campus outreach program. The Institute has recently published Liberty, an eight-page tabloid newspaper that will be distributed at 44 colleges and universities this fall.

Liberty is intended as an introduction to classical liberalism. It contains articles on how everybody, but especially young people, would benefit from Social Security privatization; how the free market can protect the environment better than government regulation; why government schools have failed and why choice is the answer; where to go on the Web to find out more about classical liberalism; how to apply for summer seminars and internships sponsored by classical-liberal organizations; and reviews of Libertarianism: A Primer , The Libertarian Reader , Economics in One Lesson, and Hidden Order: The Economics of Everyday Life.

Liberty will be inserted into the first fall issue of the schools' daily newspapers. Total distribution will be approximately 460,000.

In addition, Cato has begun offering CatoAudio , the Institute's monthly audio magazine, free of charge to college radio stations. Currently, about a dozen stations play CatoAudio regularly, and that number will undoubtedly grow during the coming academic year.

The Institute continues to send its periodicals and books to university libraries. Cato publications are received by more than 900 university libraries, including 360 that subscribe to the Cato Journal.
