Potential church-state casesfor the 1994-1995 term

The Court may decide to accept two church state cases for review this 
term.

The first is a challenge by a group of Christian students at the University 
of Virginia to their school's policy of refusing to provide monies 
from student activity fees to defray the costs of their exclusively 
Christian student-run magazine.

The second is an appeal by a commercial landlord in Anchorage, Alaska 
who refuses, on religious grounds, to rent apartments to unmarried 
people who plan to live together. The Alaska Supreme Court refused 
to give the landlord a religious exemption from city and state laws 
that prohibit landlords from discriminating on the basis of marital 
status.
