"With all due respect, it is not the job of your representative to find out what you want done on thiscampus, but instead we call on you to take the time out of your schedule and tell us about your problems " While this might have been meant in an exclusively positive manner, it has dangerous ramifications that must be avoided ifSGA is to get closer to the student body. Yes. it is true that student representatives are only human and they have classes and other responsibilities like the rest of us. Academics come first, as they should. As a student body, we must take it upon ourselves to articulate what we want our representative body to be. It is not enough to whisper behind their backs and talk about incompetence when that is being incompetent in itself. Go out and find a member now and express your views. Talk to a Senator next year practically everyone knows someone in SGA. They are humans, not mind-reader- s. However, there is also acertain arrogance that needs to be addressed here. Mr. Watts, how do you expect to rule effectively if you do not encourage activism w ithin the body under your control? We did not elect you to sit in a big chair and act like the Godfather. If you think that your job responsi- bilities do not include going up to students and talking, getting the pulse of the campus, then you are sorely mistaken. You need the student body more than we need you. And ineffective leadership will be traced right back to you. That is the key word, leadership. You must set the standard for others to follow. And dialogue only begins w hen you initiate it or acknowledge ! our responsibility. "''""eiS For the SGA to effectively represent its constituency, a partnership must be formed. Both students and student representatives must understand their role in the College and be willing to meet halfway. And we will be there Letters either way to make sure you play fairly.
