One solution may be to ask USG to create a new liaison position. Such a position would give the student body a designated representative responsible for bringing students' concerns and problems to Borough Council. It would also ensure a much-needed direct link between our representative body and that of the borough. As a majority of State College's population, students do need representation and members of the Student Party should be lauded for wanting to gain that representation. But they also must realize Borough Council is not a political game.
Membership requires time, commitment and willingness to work and compromise with current members.
It is a partnership, not a battle.
