"The case is not settled," stresses Evelyn Liebman. Liebman, bead of the n campus Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), strenuously refuses to Rutgers-Camde- concede defeat to what she sees as an organized, national conservative attack on PIRGs, the Ralph Nader-foundnetwork of college-base- d "consumer advocate groups." But Liebman and the PIRGs at least lost the latest battle in August when a federal appeals court said PIRG's fundraising methods Rutgers students automatically gave $2.50 of their fees to the PIRG unless they specifically asked for a refund raised serious constitutional questions, and asked a lower court to the' case. ed re-t- ry - PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Federal attorneys in the "City of Brotherly Love" have impounded the cars of 17 Philadelphia-are- a residents who collectively owe some S 50,000 in student loan payments. Federal marshals say they'll keep the cars until the defaulters either pay off or make arrangements to pay off their loans. The action is just a part of a nationwide crackdown by the U. S. Department of Education on defaulters who owe a total of S3 billion in overdue guaranteed and direct government student loans. By late September, the department will also have a computer to help push the collection effort further. Philadelphia officials hope their car towing will help make the point. . NEW YORK, N.Y.

CHALOTTESVILLE, Va. Last spring a group of University of Virginia students, calling themselves the Committee to Remove Arrogant Politicos (CRAP), set out to administration abolish their Student Council because, they claimed, no one took student politics seriously. Now the same group has itself disbanded, claiming that no one took its cause seriously enough. "People are pretty apathetic about student government here," explains student Chuck Wehland, one fo the funders of CRAP. "The whole thing is kind of a joke." Virginia students turned out in force in 1980 to dissolve the College Council, another branch of the student government. The fifth annual AS UUadminist ration softball game is set for 3:30 p.m. Wednesday on the Ballif field, located between Ballif Hall and the Alumni House.

Special PRINCETON, N.J. Old soldiers may M just fade away," but old Ivy Leaguers just seem to get richer, more conserv ative and snobby. At least that's the result of a survey completed by the Princeton, Harvard and Vale graduating classes of 1957. As part of their reunion project earlier this year, alumni from the three schools filled out a survey on attitudes about everything from how many books they read to what they think about Reaganomics. A significant number of alumni defined themselves as racists, sexists and generally wealthy. Only 36 percent of the Princetonians, for instance, say they believe black people are as intelligent as whites. Forty-seve- n percent of the Yale alumni and 55 percent of the Harvard alumni judged the races intellectually equal. Seventy-thre- e percent of the Princetonians agreed men and women are equally intelligent, but, again, more Yale and Harvard grads 86 percent of them proved to be liberal on the question. 25-ye- red ar Sen. Dodd to discuss WestBeirut aftermath 149-questi- ori RENO, Nev. The next generation of college student leaders will be more liberal than the current generation, if the results of a straw vote among high school officers hold. Over 1000 high school student government officers at the annual Conference of the National Association of Student Councils this summer voted in favor of more sex education, and opposed increased defense spending, mixing religion and politics, and textbook censorship. 0 will speak Thursday at Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, 2:45 p.m. in the Hinckley Caucus Room, OSH 255. His topic will be: "In the Aftermath of West Beirut." Dodd was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1980, one of only two Senate Democrats elected in the Reagan landslide. Dodd is a n., . member of the Foreign Relations Committee; the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee; and the Special Committee on Aging.
