COMMENTARY Letters to the Editor Fourth and Long Congress Infighting

Dear Editor: Dear Editor, It would appear that the Student Congress serves as a medium be­ Recently the Football Club presented a resolution to the Student tween the students and administration. When the students have a pro­ Congress which contained a referendum they wanted presented to the blem, they ask Student Congress for assistance and guidance. If the student body. A referendum is simply a question - nothing more. NO students cannot go to Student Congress, then where can we go for help? facts or issues concerning the question is presented to the student along with the referendum. Much debate ensued amongst the members The students elected certain representatives for Student Congress positions because they felt that these selected few would be good of Congress, the Football Club, and Fr. McPhail as to whether or not the referendum should pass. A roll call vote was then taken due to spokespersons for their class. But if these selected few use their own what seemed would be a close vote.
