Although Charlie Eaton contacted me on Sept. 26, the subject of the e-mail was voter registration. He made a brief mention of the clerical worker s union, and was referred to the chairman whom he contacted on Oct. 5. On Oct. 11, at 11 p.m., Mr. Eaton e-mailed me to set up a meeting and 15 minutes later a meeting was set for Oct. 17. However, this action took the form of a personal mandate rather than a resolution. I share these mundane details to illustrate a simple point.
Student government is just that government for the students by the students.
We are not administrators with office hours from 9 to 5. We have full academic course loads and participate in clubs and sports. Nonetheless, the committee worked as fast and diligently as possible to bring the issue to the table. We did just that, and feel that our constituents voices were heard. I assure all of you who feel the same as Mr. Eaton about this issue that the administration will know of your feelings.
