CAB Fights for S tu den ts CAB Rejects Student Life Proposal
Dear Undergraduate Students: CAB SAYS NO! The Campus Activities Board has formally rejected the changes to the Student Activity Fee Allocation Procedure, proposed by the Office of Student Activities in the Division for Student Life. STUDENTS TO LOSE POWER CAB reiects the changes because the proposed structure decreas es student control over the Student Activitv Fee money by at least 80%. We are told that change is needed to handle the money in a more consistent and responsible manner. These goals can be sat isfied, however, without taking the control of students’ money away from the students. In the true "developmental’’ model of Student Life, students learn through responsibility and leadership. Students learn nothing when adm inistrators take away that responsibility and leader sh ip . KEEP YOUR Each student pays $ 100 specifically to fund student activities. There is no reason that adm inistrators and faculty should have any control over these funds. CAB urges all students who feel stron^y about these issues to express their opin ions to the Office of Student Activities in the Division for Student Life.
