Letters to the Editor
Don't scrap bylawsI have just read with some horror your April 17 article, "Mallach gives State of the SA."From 1988 to 1990 I chaired the Constitution Committee of the Students' Association Senate. Our charge was to propose amendments to the SA Constitution and bylaws to improve the functionality of the SA.I find it interesting that […]
SA does more with far less
Recently, the administration rejected a request from the Students' Association for an increase of $25 in the student activities fee.

This neglect for the […]
Quieting D-Day not a cure for stupidity
Originally, I was gonna bust that ditty out for you on Dandelion Day, replete with a top hat and cane, but word came down from above that my performance had been cancelled. Along with it, pretty much every other student group event that had once hailed proudly around campus on everyone's favorite Dandelion holiday.Indeed, this […]
