MSA's troubles will lead to more apathy T he Minnesota Student Association has been fighting student apathy for years. But now a new uproar in the organization is demonstrating why this apathy exists. Before the money was authorized, Kris Elverum, MSA speaker, says he sent a memo warning Madia not to sign the resolution. He claims Madia blatantly ignored the memo as well as bylaws.
Homecoming is an important campus event.
Everyone from students to deans and parents participate. Madia has admitted he broke the bylaws, but says he did so because of outside pressure from those concerned about putting on a good Homecoming. But Homecoming events occur every year. The dates are known well in advance. The MSA has few excuses for not having gone through the proper budgeting and planning to fund the event.
