The code also sets guidelines concerning women's rights and child labor. Signing on to the WRC signifies an even greater commitment to labor rights than what currently exists, and the ad­ 'OS ministration deserves praise for this decision. Vice President and Treasurer Carl Sgreeci said students' concerns affected the decision. Members of the Young Democratic Socialists wrote letters to President Williams and held a teach-in this past November regarding sweatshops. Their activism illustrates the power students pos­ sess on this campus, a power that the administration should always ac­ knowledge and a power that students should utilize more often.
