Student _Congress was given the courtesy of an opportunity to voice its opinion. It did nl•t. Student Congress was given the discourtesy of a falsely-founded interpretation of thir ac tion. What do you think of Macke? Richard Corren ti, V. P. of Student Affairs, explained that he interpreted Congress' silence regarding the religious holidays policy as an indication ofconcurrence (see article on p. I). According to the Random House College Dictionary, the word concur means "to agree in opinion. '' Student Congress, according to the minutes of their meetings, did not agree. They did not disagree, but they did not agree. To interpret this action (or lack of action) as con currence, seems to bP a gross misjudgement. To top off the situation, this falsely-founded interpretation was made public in a memo from Acting Provost Frank Falcone to the faculty and· in the Sept. 13 issue of tht? ITHACAN. We on the the ITHACAN have learned a great deal about journaiism and reporting from the error and have retracted and apologized for our earlier statemen((see Ed. note on p.3). We believe that Correnti and Falcone owe Student Congress an apology as well. If the stude,nt body dared to interpret the administration's often-exhibited lack of response as an indication of concurrence, many of the issues that are unresolved today might have been resolved in the student's interests a lung time ago.
