We were elected by you ro serve that purpose and have made every attempt ro Since 1924 do just that. We do not belie\'e that student apathy is the cause of any problems which exist on campus. We choose to adopt the idea that students are the Univcn1ity, much more so than any building or monument. We believe in the student as the ultimate resource, not only of the Uni\'ersity, but of the greater community and the world stage as well. Last week's article and edit-Ori al in The Hilltop concerning HUSA was unfortunate. Notwithstanding the grade which was received, we do not believe the student, the reason we are nil here, was consulted during the decision making process. As you read the article, ask yourself ifyou were consulted during the decision making process. Anti-abortion bontbings As you read this article, ask yourself if you were consulted. Ask your friends, your acquaintances, any student you may know, and listen to the answer. The process was incomplete and unprofessional, and the student body should never have been expoaed to such conjecture. Such exposure only serves to further etrotify the Howard University family. As students we should hold The Hilltop t-0 a higher standard. Woshould expect excellence from defeat pro-life purpose a student-run organization, which consists of excellent individuals. The policies of HUSA have been developed and implemented by students for students. In particular, we have ix days before the 24th anniversary of voting and property ownership.
